Airbag

2016-05-27 · campaign 2016-265

On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

Airbag

2016-05-12 · campaign 2016-216

Certain vehicles which are subjected to dusty environments and/or extensive usage with top/doors removed, the clockspring assembly for the driver's airbag may become damaged and fail due to dust ingress. This could compromise the airbag circuit, which would result in the illumination of the airbag warning lamp and possible non-deployment of the driver's frontal airbag during a crash where deployment is warranted, which could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the clockspring, wheel back cover, and column shroud with a design that will further reduce the amount of dirt/dust intrusion.

Other

2012-05-15 · campaign 2012-159

On certain vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the exhaust system is located too close to the transmission skid plate. Debris collecting in this area could contact the exhaust catalyst, which could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the transmission skid plate with a skid bar.

Suspension

2011-03-03 · campaign 2011-101

On certain vehicles, fastener torque for various front and rear axle attachments may degrade over time, due to variability in the axle painting process. This could result in noise or cause a degradation in steering and handling characteristics. A loss of vehicle control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will re-torque nineteen fasteners to specifications.

Brakes

2010-07-07 · campaign 2010-223

Certain vehicles may have an improperly formed master cylinder to hydraulic control unit brake tube assembly end-flare that could lead to a loss of brake fluid and reduced braking performance. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the suspect brake tubes.

Brakes

2010-06-04 · campaign 2010-185

On certain vehicles, the right and left front inner fender liners could contact the right front and left rear brake tubes respectively, which could cause a partial loss of braking at the affected wheel. A partial loss of braking could result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will trim the front inner fender liners and replace the retaining fasteners. In addition, the right front and left rear brake tubes will be inspected and brake tubes found to have the corrosion protection coating compromised will be replaced.
