Total cars affected: 3141731
NHTSA campaign: 14V355000
Date of the problem: 23/06/2014

If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Total cars affected: 429170
NHTSA campaign: 15V519000
Date of the problem: 14/08/2015

Headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

NHTSA campaign: 09E005000
Date of the problem: 17/02/2009

A BROKEN STEERING KNUCKLE COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
