Recalls- Bumper hose tray latch. NHTSA recall 10V300000 affects 25 vehicles due to drop-down fire hose trays under the front bumper that may open accidentally while driving.

- Front lower ball joint boots. Recall 15V615000 affects 910 vehicles with torn protective boots on front lower ball joints. Contamination may cause premature failure and possible wheel separation. Dealers inspect and replace worn ball joints at no cost.
- Front upper ball joint boots. Also part of recall 15V615000 covering the same 910 vehicles, upper ball joint boots may tear with the same risks and remedies as the lower joints. Free inspection and replacement apply.
- Aerial device software. Recall 19V022000 includes 994 vehicles where aerial ladders may unexpectedly rotate right during extension. This could lead to contact with objects or electrical wires, increasing injury risk. Dealers reprogram the control module free of charge.
