There are 38 recalls affecting various systems including the fuel system, airbags, driveline, and fuel tank assembly. These recalls address defects that could affect engine performance, safety restraint systems, and vehicle stability.
- Fuel pump failure. Recall 23V858000 involves potential fuel pump failure inside the fuel tank that can cause engine stalls, increasing crash risk. Dealers will replace the fuel pump module free of charge.
- Deformed fuel tank. Recall 19V052000 covers a deformed fuel tank that may raise the fuel pump height and cause the fuel gauge to show inaccurate fuel levels. This could lead to stalling from running out of gas. Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel tank as needed.
- Driver airbag inflator rupture. Recall 19V182000 concerns driver frontal air bag inflators that may explode in a crash due to manufacturing defects, causing serious injury or death. Dealers will replace the inflator with an alternate type free of charge.
- Driveshaft separation risk. Recall 19V424000 addresses excessive grease causing incomplete engagement of the set-ring on the half shaft, which can lead to driveshaft separation. This can result in loss of drive or unintended vehicle movement. Dealers will inspect and replace parts if necessary.
- Airbag inflator moisture intrusion. Recall 16V061000 pertains to dual-stage driver frontal air bag inflators susceptible to moisture intrusion that may rupture on deployment. Dealers will replace the inflator free of charge.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs, critical safety defects, or unresolved recall issues may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consultation with a consumer protection attorney could clarify potential remedies based on individual circumstances.
