Safety Recalls & Notices
On certain vehicles, the connector module that controls the blower motor speed in the heat/vent/air conditioning (HVAC) system could overheat under extended periods at high or medium-high blower speed. If this were to occur, it could result in the plastic around the connector module melting by the heat generated, increasing the risk of fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the female connector and harness.
On certain vehicles equipped with a Heated Washer Fluid System (HWFS), a short circuit on the printed circuit board for the washer fluid heater may overheat the control-circuit ground wire. A repair was implemented in a recall in 2008, however, there have been new reports of thermal incidents on heated washer fluid system modules after this improvement was installed. This situation may cause some minor distortion, but also could lead to melting of the plastic around the heated washer fluid system, or cause a fire. Correction: Dealers will permanently disable and remove the heated washer fluid module. An updated page will be provided and inserted in the Owner Manual to document the removal of the feature.
On certain vehicles, the integral clip-tabs on the hood louver may fracture, which could allow the hood louver to lose its retention mechanism. As the clip-tabs break, the hood louver may rattle against the hood and become loose. If this indicator is unnoticed, additional clips could fracture and the hood louver could detach from the vehicle and strike a vehicle or a bystander, which could result in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will apply an adhesive to the hood louver to secure it to the hood.
On certain vehicles, the fuel tank front support strap may fracture. Continued use of the vehicle may eventually fracture the rear support strap and stone shield fasteners, which could allow the fuel tank to separate. The errant tank assembly could strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander, which could result in property damage, personal injury or death. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank front support strap with an update version.
On certain vehicles, water can enter the windshield wiper motor module. If a sufficient amount of water enters the module, the front windshield wipers may work intermittently or become inoperative, which on a rainy/snowy day may increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the windshield wiper module cover and replace it if necessary.
On certain vehicles equipped with a heated washer fluid system, a short circuit on the printed circuit board for the washer fluid heater may overheat the control-circuit ground wire. This situation may cause other electrical features to malfunction which could cause smoke and in some cases a fire. Correction: Dealer will install a wire harness with an in-line fuse.
On certain vehicles the ABS wheel speed sensor wiring harnesses may be reversed, which may result in vehicle instability and extended stopping distances under certain circumstances. Correction: Dealers will correct the wheel speed sensor wiring and reprogram the brake control module.
Certain vehicles may have been built with a power steering hose that is not to specification. Under extreme steering manoeuvres, such as turning the steering wheel fully to the left or right while braking, the hose may fracture and leak fluid. If this were to occur, power steering assist would be lost and increased steering effort would be required. On vehicles equipped with hydro-boost power brakes, it could also result in loss of power brake assist and increase braking effort would be required. If power steering fluid were to spray onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur. Correction: Dealers will inspect the power steering hose(s) for two suspect date codes and replace them if required.
On certain vehicles, the 2nd row centre occupant seat belt routing may make it difficult to position the lap portion of the safety belt low around the hips of occupants. A lap portion of the seat belt routing that is not low and snug on the hips can allow unfavourable occupant kinetics in the event of a crash. Moreover, the higher routing allows the lap belt to ride up on an occupant's abdomen instead of fitting low around their hipbones, and therefore, can expose them to more risk of abdominal and internal organ injury. Correction: Dealers will modify the guide loop.
On certain vehicles, the hydraulic brake booster's pressure accumulator may crack and/or separate from the Hydro-Boost assembly during normal vehicle operating conditions. If a separation occurred and the hood of the vehicle was open, fragments from the accumulator could cause injury to people in the immediate area. In addition, the presence of this crack or fractured surface could allow the hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster assembly. The loss of fluid would cause increased steering and braking effort. Correction: Dealers will test and, if necessary, replace the Hydro-Boost assembly.
