Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
- What is wrong
- The wiring from the electronic control unit was connected to the wrong wheel sensor or to the wrong brake modulator valve. It is possible that either or both wiring may have occurred at either the front or rear axle or both axles.
- Risk
- Should the anti-lock braking system (ABS) wiring be crossed, it would result in a significant degradation in vehicle stopping distance. A signal would be sent to the wrong brake chamber when a brake imbalance is detected. This condition increases the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the ABS wiring and, if necessary, properly connect.

Wheels: hubcap/cover
- What is wrong
- The front wheel hub can develop cracks at the wheel mounting studs. When mounted to the hub, the hydraulic brake disc rotor does not properly support the hub at the wheel studs causing excessive stress and fatigue cracks in the hub.
- Risk
- Should sufficient cracks occur, the mounting flange portion of the hub along with the wheel could separate from the vehicle without warning. Should this occur while the vehicle is driven, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and/or the separated wheel and hub could strike another vehicle, pedestrian or property.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install new, redesigned hubs on these vehicles.
