Safety timeline

Full timeline
  1. Recall

    Recall 25V616000

    A damaged seat belt retractor may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

  2. Recall

    Recall 24V829000

    A B-Pillar structure with reduced strength may not adequately protect passengers in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

  3. Recall

    Recall 24V104000

    A loss of power brake assist can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle. Additionally, malfunctioning ABS and/or DSC systems can cause a loss of vehicle control. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
