5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information identifies five recalls involving the headlight, seat, tire and steering knuckle components. A low driver-side headlight aim can reduce visibility. Improperly welded seat components may allow a backrest adjustment to break in a rear-end crash, increasing injury risk. Over-cured tires may suffer a sidewall break, sudden air loss or tread separation. Damaged or fractured steering knuckles may cause loss of steering or vehicle control; owners are advised not to drive until inspection and repair if necessary when that condition applies. Waiting can leave a safety issue unresolved, so contact our team promptly for a VIN check and guidance.
