Most Severe Recalls

Critical

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS — Your vehicle's power steering return line hose wasn't properly fixed, which can cause it to break.

Critical

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER — Your vehicle's master cylinder, which helps control the brake system, may have a problem with a thin layer that can cause a slow leak of brake fluid.

Critical

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE — Your vehicle's fuel line has a part that's sensitive to extreme temperatures and could break, causing a fuel leak.

Critical

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP — The fuel pump's electronic control unit might get damaged from being in a salty-wet environment. This can cause the pump to send faulty signals, leading to low or no fuel pressure.

Critical
