Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information identifies risks involving possible fire from seat-belt pretensioner sparks, fuel leaks, block-heater wiring, and damaged wiring harnesses. Other concerns include driveline fracture and loss of motive power, doors opening while driving, inadequate seat or seat-belt restraint, a reversed backup-camera image, confusing brake-light operation, and an unintended tailgate opening that can release cargo. These conditions may not produce an obvious warning before a crash, fire, or road hazard. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved, so check the VIN and arrange the manufacturer remedy as soon as possible.
