- Investigation opened
NHTSA opened investigation PE25002
Unintended Transmission Downshift and Rear Wheel Lock-up
- Recall
A loss of brake fluid may result in a change in brake pedal travel, increased pedal effort and reduced front brake function, requiring greater effort and distance to stop the vehicle. These conditions can increase the risk of a crash.
- Recall
An incorrectly installed ball joint may cause the ball joint stud to break, which can compromise front wheel control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall
A loss of brake fluid may result in a change in brake pedal travel and feel, increased pedal effort and reduced front brake function, possibly requiring greater effort and distance to stop the vehicle. These conditions can increase the risk of a crash.
- Recall
A damaged cable could cause a resistive short, increasing the risk of overheated or melted wiring, increasing the risk of a fire.
- Recall
When the heater is plugged in, prolonged corrosion could cause a resistive short, increasing the risk of overheated or melted wiring which can increase the risk of a fire.
- Investigation closed
NHTSA closed investigation PE18008
Seatbelt Pretensioner Fire
- Recall
A vehicle fire could result if materials ignite inside the vehicle.
- Investigation opened
NHTSA opened investigation PE18008
Seatbelt Pretensioner Fire
- Recall
Despite the transmission shift lever being placed in 'Park' and the instrument panel display indicating 'Park,' the vehicle may roll away after it has been exited if the parking brake has not been applied, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.
- Recall
The disconnected linkage may cause the vehicle to not move forward or backward as selected by the driver with the shift lever. Additionally, despite selecting 'Park', if the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.
- Recall
A door that opens while driving can increase the risk of injury.
- Recall
The seat belt buckle weld may fail, preventing the occupants from being properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- Recall
An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
- Recall
If the left rear inflatable seat belt buckle separates from it's mounting bracket, the seat occupant may not be adequately restrained, increasing their risk of injury.
- Recall
If the doors unlatch and open in a side impact collision, the occupants have an increased risk of injury.
- Recall
If the occupant is not adequately restrained in the event of a crash, they have an increased risk of injury.
- Recall
If the transmission gear position indicator fails to illuminate, the driver may be unable to tell the transmission shift position, increasing the risk of a crash or injury from unintended vehicle movement.
