Safety Recalls & Notices
4 Active Recalls
Requires attention
Suspension
Summary
THE BOLTS FASTENING THE REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM TO THE CHASSIS MAY FAIL. IF ONE OF THESE BOLTS FAIL, THE TRAILING ARM MAY BECOME DETACHED ON ONE SIDE, ALLOWING THE WHEEL TO MOVE REARWARD OF ITS INTENDED POSITION. THIS COULD CHANGE THE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSTALL IMPROVED BOLTS ON BOTH MOUNTING POSITIONS OF THE TRAILING ARMS.
Airbag
Summary
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS. DEFECT: AFFECTED VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE A TERMINAL HOLDER FITTED TO THE FEMALE PORTION OF THE CONNECTOR WHICH CONNECTS THE CLOCK SPRING CONTACT ASSEMBLY TO THE AIR BAG WIRING ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD CAUSE THE ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE WITHIN THE TERMINAL CONNECTION TO INCREASE OVER TIME AND CAUSE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIR BAG) WARNING LAMP TO ILLUMINATE. CORRECTION: A TERMINAL HOLDER WILL BE INSTALLED.
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
Summary
THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WAS IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED AND COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE FROM INCREASED ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE.
Potential Consequence
AN INCREASE IN THE ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE MIGHT PREVENT THE AIR BAG FROM ACTIVATING DURING A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR TO DETERMINE IF IT CONTAINS A TERMINAL HOLDER. IF IT DOES NOT, ONE WILL BE INSTALLED.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
Summary
IN SOME VEHICLES, THE MANUFACTURER'S PROTECTIVE INTERNAL COATING OF THE ELECTRONIC CRANK ANGLE SENSOR DOES NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN OPEN CIRCUIT AT HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURES. THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL.
Potential Consequence
ENGINE STALLING HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH IF IT OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE SENSOR IS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL, AND REPLACE ANY SENSOR FOUND WITH THE DEFECTIVE INTERNAL COATING.
