Median failure at 64,000 miles
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.
WIPER MOUNTING BRACKET
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones.
Steering
NOTE: VEHICLES BUILT ON GENERAL MOTORS P30 CHASSIS. THE STEERING WHEEL NUT RETAINING CLIP MAY BE MISSING FROM THESE VEHICLES. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD ALLOW THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. SHOULD THIS OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, A CRASH COULD OCCUR. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND RETAINING CLIP WILL BE REINSTALLED WHERE REQUIRED.
Accessories
THE TELEVISION MOUNTED IN THE FRONT OVERHEAD CABINET CAN VIBRATE LOOSE AND FALL, POSSIBLY STRIKING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER, OR DISTRACTING THE DRIVER FROM THE DRIVING TASK. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: RETAINING BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED TO SECURE THE TELEVISION IN ITS CABINET.
Recalls cover specific build ranges, so check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or, in Canada, Transport Canada.
