Safety timeline

Full timeline
  1. Recall

    Recall 26V329000

    An inflator rupture may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.

  2. Recall

    Recall 15V666000

    In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of one or both of the side impact air bags, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Additionally, if the air bag does not properly inflate, the driver or passenger is at an increased risk of injury.

  3. Recall

    Recall 14V541000

    Brake pads that remain partially engaged with the rotors may cause excessive brake heat that may result in a fire.
