5 common questions answered
The six NHTSA recalls involve risks that should not be ignored. Communication software may send an inaccurate emergency-call location, potentially delaying responders. Air-bag concerns include an inflator that may send metal fragments toward occupants, unintended driver air-bag deployment, and air bags that may not deploy as intended. A steering coupling bolt may contribute to loss of steering, while a diesel chain-tensioner gasket leak may create fire and road hazards. Waiting can leave a safety issue unresolved. If you notice a warning, receive a recall notice, or are unsure about prior work, schedule service promptly.
