Post Recall Remedy Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) Failure
- 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
Wheel separation can cause a vehicle crash.
- Investigation closed
NHTSA closed investigation PE18016
Steering loss due to linkage separation
- Investigation opened
NHTSA opened investigation EA19004
Steering loss due to linkage separation
- 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
A drag link separation can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of crash.
- Investigation opened
NHTSA opened investigation PE18016
Steering loss due to linkage separation
- Recall
The weakened connection may result in a fractured steering drag link, causing a loss of steering and increasing the risk of a 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
The leaking water pump can increase the risk of an engine compartment fire.
- Recall
If the wheel fractures, a loss of vehicle control can occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Recall
If the rollover side curtain air bags and seat belt pretensioners are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a crash that necessitates activation of these safety systems.
- Recall
If the bracket components separate from the frame, the vehicle may have a reduced response to steering input, increasing the risk of 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.
- Investigation closed
NHTSA closed investigation RQ15004
Software security vulnerability
- 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.
