Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Your Safety

NHTSA recall information describes potential safety concerns involving braking, air-bag deployment, rear suspension strength, unintended rollaway, regulatory compliance, and engine shutdown. A leaking master cylinder could reduce braking ability. A contaminated clock spring could prevent the driver’s frontal air bag from deploying. A fractured trailing arm could cause loss of control, while a key removed outside Park could allow the vehicle to roll. Certain water pumps may contribute to timing-belt failure and engine shutdown. These risks make waiting unnecessary. A prompt VIN check identifies whether your vehicle is covered and whether a manufacturer remedy should be completed.
