Engine May Loose Power
Date: 19-05-2008
It has been identified thatthere is a risk that subject vehicles will unnecessarily enter a reduced power mode which would result in severely reduced engine power output.
NHTSA R/2007/071
Possibility Of An Electrical Short Circuit
Date: 17-04-2007
It has been identified that the alternator terminal wiring could be positioned too close to the exhaust heat shield. Under extreme conditions this proximity could result in an electrical short circuit.
NHTSA R/2012/079
Steering May Fail
