Recall Service & Dealership Highlights
Address Safety Concerns
NHTSA identifies brake and steering defects that can affect stopping and vehicle control. A ruptured front brake hose may leak fluid and lengthen stopping distance. Incorrect ABS and ESC software may prevent a warning and allow a loss of engine torque control. Corroded steering gear motor bolts may lead to loss of power steering assist and greater steering effort at low speeds. Each condition can increase crash risk, so waiting to investigate a recall can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A free VIN check helps determine whether one or more manufacturer remedies remain open.
