• Steering System. NHTSA recall 10V475000 affects 23,237 vehicles. The power steering pressure hose assembly may separate at the crimped end, causing leaked fluid to contact hot engine parts which could ignite a fire. Dealers will inspect and replace hoses free of charge starting December 20, 2010.
• Brake System. NHTSA recall 10V009000 covers 20,045 vehicles. An improperly formed or missing brake booster input rod retaining clip can cause brake failure without warning, increasing crash risk. The remedy involves replacing the clip at no cost, with the recall beginning February 2010.
• Seat Belt Pretensioner. NHTSA recall 16V668000 includes 1,435,625 vehicles across multiple models. The occupant restraint control module may short circuit preventing frontal airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and side airbags from deploying in a crash. Owners will be notified and the module replaced free of charge; the recall began August 15, 2017.
• Air Bag Control Module. Also under recall 16V668000, the same large vehicle population is affected. The control module failure disables frontal airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and side airbags, increasing injury risk during a collision. Dealers will replace the module at no charge.
• Air Bags. Part of recall 16V668000, the defective occupant restraint control module affects airbag deployment. The recall addresses safety system inactivation with free module replacement, starting August 15, 2017.
