• Rear axle lock nut failure. Recall 21V295000 affects 40,993 vehicles. Lock nuts on the rear axle’s trailing arm may break due to stress corrosion, risking axle misalignment and loss of control. The fix involves replacing lock nuts and bolts if needed at no cost to owners.
• Engine control module moisture intrusion. Recall 21V111000 applies to 238 vehicles. A missing sealing pin may allow moisture to enter the engine control module connector, potentially causing stalling and increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect, install missing pins, and replace corroded connectors free of charge.

Owners with repeated axle issues, electrical charging defects, or unresolved recall repairs should consider their rights under state lemon laws. Persistent safety risks and multiple recalls may qualify vehicles for relief under consumer protection statutes.
