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 25V236000

    A brake fluid leak can cause reduced brake function and extend the distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.

  3. Recall

    Recall 25V091000

    An electrical short circuit in the exterior mirror increases the risk of fire.

  4. Recall

    Recall 22V648000

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

  5. Recall
