Safety timeline

Full timeline
  1. Recall

    Recall 21V599000

    A rear-view camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

  2. Recall

    Recall 21V402000

    The steering knuckle or rear axle could deform upon impact, such as from hitting a curb, resulting in a loss of steering control, or possible wheel separation. Both of these conditions can increase the risk of a crash.

  3. Recall

    Recall 21V234000

    A lack of fuel may cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
