5 common questions answered
The two NHTSA recalls involve specific safety concerns. A Steering recall may allow the key to be removed while the shift lever is not in Park, increasing the chance of an unintended rollaway, personal injury or a crash. A Brake Caliper recall may involve insufficient piston coating that can reduce braking performance and increase crash risk. Waiting can leave a known safety condition unresolved, especially when the brake-related notice advises owners not to drive until the system has been checked. A prompt VIN check helps determine whether either recall remains open and whether the free manufacturer remedy is needed.
