• Fuel system - EGR cooler. NHTSA recall 21V907000 affects 50,404 vehicles. The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler may leak coolant internally, mixing with diesel soot and potentially causing smoldering particles that melt the intake manifold. This defect increases the risk of fire. Dealers will replace the EGR cooler and inspect or replace the intake manifold as needed, free of charge.
• Fuel pump failure. Recall 21V586000 covers 11,216 vehicles. The high-pressure fuel pump can fail, causing engine stall while driving and raising crash risk. Dealers will replace the pump at no cost to owners.
• EGR valve cooler leak. Under recall 18V755000, 44,368 vehicles are affected. Internal leaks in the EGR cooler allow coolant and soot to mix, which may result in the intake manifold melting due to high temperatures. Dealers will inspect and replace the EGR cooler and intake manifold free of charge.
• Constant-velocity joint defect. Recall 20V185000 involves 8,536 vehicles. The joint transferring power between the transfer case and rear drive shaft may suffer damage, leading to loss of power to the rear wheels. This can impair vehicle control and lead to unintended rollaway if the parking brake is not engaged. Dealers will replace the joint and inspect or replace the transfer case as necessary, free of charge.

Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved safety recall issues might have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting a consumer protection attorney or local agency may provide guidance on potential remedies.
