NHTSA’s five reported recalls address risks that deserve prompt attention. A driveshaft joint assembled without grease may overheat, seize, fracture, or separate and cause loss of drive or a road hazard. Manual-transmission clutch components may overheat and fracture, raising fire, debris, and loss-of-drive risks. A backup-camera image that remains displayed can distract the driver, while front seat belt retractors that do not lock properly may increase injury risk in a crash.
