Brakes
2009-10-29 · campaign 2009-313
On certain vehicles, an incorrectly manufactured brake master cylinder may allow brake fluid to slowly leak into the brake booster assembly. Brake fluid leakage could ultimately result in a reduction of braking capability, which could increase the vehicle's stopping distance and cause a crash with personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the brake master cylinder assembly.
Airbag
2009-04-27 · campaign 2009-125
On certain vehicles, one or both of the side curtain airbags may have been incorrectly positioned during vehicle assembly. If this occured, in certain types of crashes where side curtain airbag deployment is expected, a portion of the bag may be restricted from fully deploying. The side curtain airbag will still timely deploy, meet and exceed applicable safety standards. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reposition the curtain airbag. This action is deemed a voluntary service campaign and is not being conducted under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
