5 common questions answered
NHTSA’s two recalls address safety concerns that deserve prompt attention. The Steering recall involves silicate buildup on shift-lever microswitch contacts, which may let the key be removed when the transmission is not in Park. That can allow an unintended rollaway, potentially causing injury or a crash. The Brake Caliper recall involves insufficient coating on brake-caliper pistons, which may reduce braking performance and increase crash risk. Owners are advised not to drive until the brake system has been checked. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved, so contact our team and schedule service for a VIN check.
