This can diminish or disable safety systems such as Automatic Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Active Cruise Control, and Collision Mitigation System, increasing crash risk. Dealers will reprogram the ECU software free of charge.

• Hubcap separation. Recall 21V417000 involves 1,050 vehicles. The hubcap compression spring can cause the hubcap to separate, creating a road hazard and increasing crash risk. Dealers will remove the hubcaps free of charge.
• Hubcap cover detachment. Also under recall 21V417000 affecting 1,050 vehicles, the hubcap cover can detach due to a faulty compression spring. Dealers will remove the hubcap covers at no cost.
• Air service brakes pedal plate. Recall 20V536000 includes 11,127 vehicles. The die-cast pedal plate for the brake pedal may break at its attachment points, leading to potential dislodgment of the brake pedal.

• Critical fasteners on pneumatic brake fittings. Recall 20V782000 affects 6,982 vehicles. Damaged collets on brass fitting inserts in the pneumatic pass-through plate may allow the air brake line to release under pressure, causing unexpected park brake application and loss of vehicle control. Dealers will inspect and secure the fittings free of charge.
