Recalls- Back-over prevention camera system. Recall 16V839000 affects 7,481 vehicles. In freezing temperatures, the entertainment telematics module may disable the back-up camera.

- Tire sidewall cracking. Recall 16V840000 covers 1,861 vehicles equipped with certain Pirelli P Zero All Season tires.

An engine software issue can cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift to neutral or park, or the engine to shut off at slow speeds. This raises crash risk. Dealers will re-flash the engine control module software when the recall begins in May 2018.
- Rear differential pinion nut torque. Recall 16V856000 involves 326 vehicles. The rear differential pinion nut may loosen, risking rear wheel lockup and possible crash. Dealers will check and repair or replace parts as needed starting December 30, 2016.
