- Transmission park pawl engagement. NHTSA recall 17V796000 affects 3,493 vehicles where a communication error may prevent the transmission park pawl from engaging. Without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could roll unexpectedly on slopes increasing crash risk. Dealers update the transmission control module software for free.
- Battery supply cable damage. NHTSA recall 17V795000 covers 1,953 vehicles where the battery cable can be damaged if the driver seat is fully rearward. A grounded short circuit risk may cause fire. Dealers inspect and protect the cable with a routing block free of charge.
