The start-stop accumulator is a small part in your vehicle's automatic transmission system. It helps your engine and transmission work together smoothly. In some 2018-2020 models, this accumulator might be missing a few essential bolts.
Risk if Unfixed
If the bolts are missing, transmission oil could leak out, and you might lose power while driving. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially if the leak ignites a fire.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the start-stop accumulator and replace it if the bolts are missing. This service is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

What Happened
A safety issue with the rear brake calipers on your vehicle may cause a loss of braking performance. This is because the coating on the brake caliper pistons may not be properly applied, leading to gas pockets forming and reducing the effectiveness of the brakes.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake performance is reduced, you may be at a higher risk of being involved in a crash, which could result in injury or damage to your vehicle.
Free Fix
You will be notified by the manufacturer, and a free repair will be performed at a dealership to bleed the brake system and ensure proper brake function.
