There are 10 recalls affecting various systems, including the airbag system, HVAC components, ignition switch, rear axle, and steering wheel. These recalls address safety-critical defects that could cause injury or increase crash risk. The recalls require free repairs or part replacements by authorized dealers.

• HVAC condensate leak. A leak from the HVAC drain grommet can cause water intrusion onto the occupant restraint control module. This triggers airbag warning lights and risks inadvertent airbag deployment. (Recall 11V394000 affecting 298,949 vehicles)
• Ignition switch defect. The ignition switch may accidentally move out of the run position due to road conditions or jarring events. This shuts off the engine and disables key safety systems such as airbags, power steering, and power braking. (Recall 14V373000 impacting 722,705 vehicles)
• Rear axle cracks. Some wheelchair accessible vehicles may develop rear axle cracks over time, risking axle failure and increasing crash chances. (Recall 14V055000 involving 130 vehicles)
• Airbag control unit corrosion. Corrosion may cause airbag control units to fail, preventing airbag deployment or causing unintended deployment during a crash. (Recall 16V047000 affecting 110,482 vehicles)
• Driver airbag module emblem. A loose or missing emblem or its attachment nuts in the steering wheel airbag module can become projectiles if the airbag deploys. (Recall 20V396000 covering 925,239 vehicles)
• HVAC drain grommet water leak. Certain vehicles may experience water leaks at the HVAC drain grommet leading to airbag warning light activation and possible inadvertent airbag deployment. (Recall 10V611000 covering 299,635 vehicles)
