Recall Service & Dealership Highlights
Safety Issues to Address
NHTSA recall information identifies wheel-bolt concerns that may allow bolts to loosen or break, potentially affecting handling and control. Suspension campaigns address rear upper control arm pivot bolts that may have been improperly hardened and could allow an arm to break. Child-seat campaigns concern lower anchor bars that may become damaged with an ISOFIX-type rigid connector, increasing a child’s injury risk in a crash. A rearview camera software issue may prevent the backup image from appearing, reducing visibility. Waiting can leave a safety-related condition unresolved, so arrange a free VIN check promptly.
