Brakes

2015-01-26 · campaign 2015-029

On certain vehicles, The front brake hoses may rupture. This could cause a loss of front brake function, causing increased brake pedal travel and reducing braking performance. This could result in increased stopping distances and result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the front brake hoses.

Airbag

2008-06-04 · campaign 2008-193

On certain vehicles, the wiring that connects the steering column rotary coupler (clockspring) to the driver's airbag module may fracture as a result of relative motion between the clockspring and the steering wheel hub. This may result in the deployment of only one stage of the dual stage airbag during a vehicle crash of sufficient severity, or cause the airbag to not deploy at all. Should the airbag module fail to deploy in the intended manner, it could increase the driver's risk of injury or death. Correction: Dealers will insert alignment spacers into specific areas of the steering column.

Brakes
