5 common questions answered
NHTSA’s six recalls address concerns that can develop in critical driving systems. A damaged tire inner layer may cause rapid pressure loss and affect control. Blue headlamp illumination may confuse oncoming traffic. A battery connection issue can increase fire risk, while a loose steering connection may affect handling. An integrated brake system problem can reduce ABS and braking assistance, and a rearview-camera software issue may limit the image used for reversing.
