Electrical#2017216April 19, 2017
40 units affected
Certain vehicles may have been built with an incorrectly sized alternator cable. This could potentially result in the cable overheating, which may increase the risk of a vehicle fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the alternator cable.
Steering#2016078February 18, 2016
130 units affected
On certain vehicles, the roll pin may not have been installed on the upper yoke on the steering shaft during assembly. If the roll pin is missing, the steering shaft may disconnect from the yoke. Separation of the shaft from the yoke would result in complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the steering shaft, and replace it if the roll pin is found missing.
