- Recall
An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
- Investigation opened
NHTSA opened investigation EA23001
High pressure fuel pump failure
- Recall
Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall
A separated inflator end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape, resulting in the end cap or other components being propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
- Recall
An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
- Recall
Combustion in the intake manifold can increase the risk of a fire.
- Recall
If the tailgate opens while the vehicle is being driven, cargo may fall out the vehicle and create a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.
- Recall
If the tailgate latch releases and the tailgate opens while driving, cargo may fall out, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall
If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
- Recall
If the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.
- Recall
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

- Recall
If the seat cover impedes the air bag deployment, the seat thorax air bags may not provide adequate protection in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of a injury.
- Recall
If the vehicle experiences a loss of power steering assist, extra steering effort will be required, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Investigation closed
NHTSA closed investigation RQ15004
Software security vulnerability
- Recall
If the rear axle shaft was not properly heated treated, it may fracture and a wheel separation could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall
In the event of a vehicle crash, if a SABIC does not inflate as intended, there is an increased risk of injury to the rear seat occupant.
- Recall
If the harness shorts, the vehicle may stall and there is an increased risk of a fire.
- Investigation opened
NHTSA opened investigation RQ15004
Software security vulnerability
- Recall
Exploitation of the software vulnerability may result in unauthorized remote modification and control of certain vehicle systems, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall
Air bags that unexpectedly deploy increase the risk of a crash or injury.
