Reported Problems

4 Total Safety Recalls Found

EQUIPMENT

Total cars affected: 2398
NHTSA campaign: 11E041000
Date of the problem: 06/10/2011

WITHOUT THE CIRCUIT PROTECTION, THE MODULE CAN OVERHEAT POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FIRE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

Total cars affected: 980377
NHTSA campaign: 13V114000
Date of the problem: 01/04/2013

Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of PARK without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Total cars affected: 228829
NHTSA campaign: 20V088000
Date of the problem: 14/02/2020

An electrical short within the ABS Module may cause an engine compartment fire, even when the vehicle is turned off, increasing the risk of an injury.

EU rapid alert system

Risk level: 3
Rapex alert: A12/0592/13
Date of the problem: 24/05/2013

A fault in the brake light switch may result in the brake light not coming on when the brake pedal is pressed or in the brake light remaining on. Moreover, in vehicles with automatic transmission it may not be possible to move the lever out of the ‘P’ position. The electronic stability control (ESC) may fail to operate, causing the ‘ESC OFF’ warning lamp on the dashboard to light up; if the cruise control is used, operating the brake pedal may not de-activate the speed control.
