Steering
2014-11-05 · campaign 2014-502
Certain vehicles serviced as part of recall 2013-287 (13S08) or special service campaign 13R01 may require re-inspection and repair. The service procedure may have resulted in over-extension of one part of a collapsible joint in the intermediate steering shaft. This could potentially result in the shaft becoming disconnected, resulting a loss of steering, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the intermediate shaft connection and replace the intermediate shaft if necessary.

2013-08-27 · campaign 2013-287
On certain vehicles originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador), the steering column lower intermediate shaft can become severely corroded. This could cause the swing link joint to become stiff or seized. As a result, the upper intermediate shaft could collapse, allowing the steering column lower bearing to separate, causing a loss of steering capability. A loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering lower intermediate shaft. The upper intermediate shaft and steering column lower bearing will be inspected and, if necessary, repaired or replaced. If the steering column lower bearing has separated, a retainer clip will be installed.
Brakes
2007-04-27 · campaign 2007-132 · 35 vehicles
Certain vehicles may have brake lines that are incorrectly connected at the ABS hydraulic control unit. This would cause brake pressure to be applied to the right front wheel that would normally be intended for the right rear wheel and vice versa. As a result, braking performance would be adversely affected, including the potential for increased stopping distances that could result in a crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will reroute affected brake lines.
