Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Handling and Control

NHTSA recall information identifies three safety concerns for this SUV. A rear drive unit with insufficient lubricant may seize, causing a loss of drive or vehicle control. Incorrect front lower control arms may affect handling and increase rollover risk. Loose or missing rear suspension subframe bolts may affect handling, increase crash risk, and reduce rear-impact protection. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. Because these conditions involve major driveline and suspension components, schedule service promptly after receiving a notice or whenever you are uncertain whether a previous repair was completed.
