Recall Service & Dealership Highlights
Safety Comes First
NHTSA recall information identifies risks that should not be ignored. A transmission shifter cable bushing may fail, allowing the cable to detach and possibly leaving the vehicle out of the selected gear or able to roll in Park. A transmission control module problem may shift the vehicle into neutral and cause loss of motive power. Oil affecting the brake booster may reduce brake assist and lengthen stopping distance. Other campaigns address side air bag installation, cold-weather engine stalling and an inoperable parking brake. Waiting can leave a safety-related condition unresolved, so arrange a free VIN check and address any open remedy promptly.
