On certain vehicles in certain types of crashes, airbag and seatbelt pretensioner deployment capability may be lost due to a short in the front impact sensor wiring affecting Occupant Restraint Controller function.

Certain vehicles equipped with a 2.4L gasoline engine may experience a loss of engine oil pressure and subsequent engine failure, causing a loss of motive power.
