Summary

This could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace both rear suspension tie rods and perform a wheel alignment.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the front and rear suspension upper and lower ball joint nuts may have been incorrectly torqued during vehicle assembly. This could allow the nuts to loosen, which may result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will verify tightening torque of the ball joint nuts and, if necessary, replace the suspension arms, ball joints and hub carriers.
Summary
Certain vehicles have a non-functioning button with the words "passenger airbag off" etched into it. This button is located, along with an LED light, on a console adjacent to the sunroof. This non-functioning button does not deactivate the passenger side airbag, nor is the LED light an indication that the passenger side airbag has been deactivated. The button is non-functional and cannot be depressed when pushed. Correction: Dealers will replace the console with one which does not contain the non-functioning button and LED light.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the outer door handle's internal wiring harness may short circuit and open the door's electrical switch. In certain situations the door might open without any action from the vehicle occupant. The central locking system will prevent this from occurring at speeds greater than 10 km/h. Correction: Dealers will replace the outer door handles.
