Recalls
- Front brake hoses. Recall 15V039000 affects 74,648 vehicles manufactured between April 15, 2005, and September 4, 2012. Flexible front brake hoses may rupture causing loss of brake fluid which increases stopping distance and crash risk. Repairs involve free replacement of left and right front brake hoses.

- Passenger air bag inflator (Zone B). Recall 18V015000 covers 8,480 vehicles from the 2011-2012 model years initially sold or registered in specified states. Inflators may explode during air bag deployment due to propellant degradation, sending metal fragments into occupants and causing serious injury or death. Dealers replace the front passenger air bag assembly free of charge. Recall started June 27, 2018.
- Passenger air bag inflator (Zone A and B). Recall 16V374000 includes 34,738 vehicles from 2007-2011 model years originally sold or registered in certain southern and eastern U.S. states. Similar to recall 18V015000, inflators may rupture risking occupant injury or death. The remedy is replacement of the passenger frontal air bag assemblies at no cost. The recall began March 2017.
Owners encountering repeated engine failures, safety-related defects, or unresolved recall repairs may have rights under state lemon laws. Consulting qualified legal counsel could provide further guidance on these matters.
