Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Transmission Control Module.
- Structure#2016263
18,078 units affected
On certain vehicles, the secondary hood latch can potentially disengage due to a tolerance build-up between the latch and catch mechanisms.

This could result in transmission fluid leaking from the hose, and cause abnormal transmission shifts and/or illumination of the instrument cluster malfunction indicator lamp. If enough fluid is lost, the loss of hydraulic pressure to the transaxle could cause a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the cooler hose with the revised hose.
- Airbag#2014177
39,271 units affected
On certain vehicles, bolts securing the driver's front airbag to the steering wheel may have been insufficiently tightened.

Correction: Dealers will verify bolt torque.
- Electrical#2013325
110,104 units affected
