Recall number 02V223000 · Recall details

What is wrong

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The brake lamps in these vehicles are controlled by a switch activated by the movement of the brake pedal. This switch could fail internally, causing it to remain either in the "brake lamps off" position or in the "brake lamps on" position.

Risk

If this happens, the brake lamps either will not operate or will be continuously illuminated, regardless of brake pedal position.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the existing brake lamp switch with an improved switch.

What is wrong

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. It is possible that the retaining clip that secures the brake booster pushrod to the brake pedal arm was not properly installed during production. It is possible for the clip to detach from the pin on the brake pedal arm allowing the pushrod to disconnect from the arm.

Risk

If this occurs, braking is not possible.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the clip for tight installation and replace the clip if it is loose.

Recall number 99V100000 · Recall details

What is wrong

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. These vehicles are built with a side air bag system consisting of door-mounted thorax air bags (rear door air bags are optional), a head protection system (hps) for front occupants, a central electronic sensor and diagnostic system, left and right satellite impact sensors, and associated wiring. This system is unduly sensitive to certain non-crash impacts, such as contacting large potholes or curbs at substantial speed.

Risk

This could cause the side air bag and hps to deploy without an actual side crash. In addition, the battery safety terminal (bst) would also activate, disconnecting the starter cable from the battery. In this case, vehicle electrical system would continue to operate and the engine would continue to run, but after stopping, could not be restarted.

Remedy

Dealers will reprogram the central computer control module that regulates the performance of all of the vehicle's occupant protection systems.
