Safety timeline

Full timeline
  1. Recall

    Recall 23V393000

    Rear passenger doors that open while driving can increase the risk of a crash. An instrument cluster warning light that fails to alert the driver about unsecured doors can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

  2. Recall

    Recall 21V117000

    The driver may be unaware that the high beams are illuminated, reducing visibility for oncoming traffic, and increasing the risk of a crash.

  3. Recall

    Recall 20V143000

    If the trailer lights are not working, following traffic won't be aware the vehicle is slowing down or stopping, increasing the risk of a crash.

  4. Recall

    Recall 18V625000

    If the AEB does not intervene when needed, without warning, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
