Safety timeline

Full timeline
  1. Recall

    Recall 25V572000

    A rearview camera that displays an inverted, distorted, or blank image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

  2. Recall

    Recall 22V648000

    Front blower motor failure can increase the risk of a vehicle interior fire.

  3. Recall

    Recall 22V150000

    A loss of brake fluid may result in a change in brake pedal travel, increased pedal effort and reduced front brake function, requiring greater effort and distance to stop the vehicle. These conditions can increase the risk of a crash.
