Address Safety Concerns
NHTSA recall information identifies fuel rail problems that may cause fuel leaks and create a fire risk, along with a replacement master cylinder issue that may leak brake fluid and reduce braking ability. A shift-lever switch concern may allow the key to come out when the vehicle is not in Park, creating a rollaway risk. A separate brake concern may cause loss of brake assist and lengthen stopping distance. Waiting can leave a known safety issue unresolved. If you notice a recall warning, smell fuel, see a brake concern, or are uncertain about prior work, contact our Lakewood service team promptly and schedule an appointment.
