A dangling tie bar could contact rotating wheel-end parts or brake components could flex, increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and tighten fasteners or install missing tie bars free of charge.
- Tire valve stem extension. Recall 21V921000 impacts 16,676 vehicles with tire valve stem extensions for inner wheels that may contact outer wheel rims and become damaged. Damaged valve stems can cause tire pressure loss and raise crash risk. Dealers will remove the inner valve stem extensions and stabilizers at no cost.
- Steering arm and tie rod bolts. Recalls 21V256000 address 12,470 vehicles with defective bolt seams that can fracture. A fractured bolt risks steering loss and a crash. Dealers will replace tie rod arm and steering arm bolts for free.
Owners dealing with multiple recalls related to safety critical systems or unresolved repair issues may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting a consumer protection attorney could help clarify legal options.
