- Fuel return hose deterioration. (NHTSA 15V850000) The fuel return hose may swell and detach due to chemical exposure, creating a fuel leak risk and potential fire hazard. This recall covers 9,456 vehicles. Dealers will inspect and replace the hose if necessary free of charge.
- Automatic transmission fluid oil cooler hose. (NHTSA 14V605000) The ATF oil cooler hose may burst, causing a fluid leak that could disable the transmission. About 9,138 vehicles are affected. Dealers will replace defective hoses at no cost.
- Transmission contamination. (NHTSA 14V046000) Debris contamination of transmission fluid due to insufficient cleaning at manufacture may lead to transmission failure and engine stalling. This impacts 7,819 vehicles. Dealers will flush and refill the transmission or replace it as needed free of charge.
- Brake pad shim corrosion. (NHTSA 15V504000) Brake pad shims may rust or corrode after exposure to road chemicals, causing increased brake pedal travel and longer stopping distances. About 7,104 vehicles are included. Steel shims will be replaced with stainless steel shims free of charge.
- Crankcase ventilation heater wiring. (NHTSA 16V116000) Optional PVC pipe heater wiring may chafe on a metal clamp and short circuit, increasing fire risk. This recall affects 853 vehicles. Dealers will replace the PVC pipe heater kit at no cost.
- Fire extinguisher malfunction. (NHTSA 18V047000) Certain Kidde plastic-handle fire extinguishers may clog, require excessive force to activate, or have nozzles that can detach, causing injury and failing to operate in a fire. The recall covers 1,153 vehicles. Owners will be instructed to contact Kidde for a free replacement extinguisher.
