Safety timeline

Full timeline
  1. Do not drive

    Do-not-drive recall 26V289000

    Front or rear wheel lockup increases the risk of a crash.

  2. Recall

    Recall 19V761000

    Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
