Installation of incorrect A-pillar trim could increase the risk of personal injuries during a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the A-pillar trim panels.
On certain vehicles, the aluminum trim on the front and rear door speaker covers could come loose. If this were to occur, the loosened trim may bend away from the speaker cover and could expose sharp edges, which could increase the risk of injury to occupants.
No risk description available.
Dealers will remove the aluminum trim from the speaker covers and replace the trim with an updated part.
Possibility of gradual loosening of the rear wheel sprocket mounting bolts. This condition could result in decreasing clamping force to adequately secure the rear wheel lsprocket to the wheel. Also the bolts may interfere with the spacer plate and cause the rear wheel to lock-up.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
On certain vehicles, an inadequate weld on the exhaust system could allow the tailpipe to detach while the vehicle is in motion, this could startle the driver and/or endanger other road users.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the tailpipe.
On certain Audi A6 Avant and Q7, if one of the automatic rear lid struts has a total loss of pressure, the resultant slow movement of the rear lid is interpreted by the software as an intended manual close, and the motor clutch releases to close the rear lid immediately. This can result in an unintended rapid closing of the rear lid with a risk of personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install updated software.
Certain vehicles do not comply with Regulation 6 - Statement of Compliance. The abbreviation "GAWR" on the Compliance Label was recorded in error as "GVWR".
No risk description available.
No action will be taken since this poses no risk to motor vehicle safety. The front and rear axle ratings adjacent to these abbreviations are correct and conspicuous.
On certain Panasonic Edition vehicles, the driver's floor mat may slide along the interior floor carpet when pressure is applied to the mat by getting in or out of the vehicle. As a result, the floor mat may come into contact and interfere with the accelerator pedal.
No risk description available.
Dealer will install new floor mats and clips.
The owner's manual that was included with certain vehicles may contain printing errors. Specifically, parts of the English manual may have some details written in French only. This could cause confusion to a reader.
If an owner does not understand French, they may not receive important safety information about features in the vehicle.
Lamborghini will notify owners by mail and will provide a corrected copy of the owner's manual.
On certain vehicles, an incorrectly assembled engine pre-heater jumper wiring harness may allow continuous electrical power to the engine pre-heater power relays if the fuse in the harness opens. This condition could cause the engine pre-heater to overheat resulting in damage to the pre-heater and other engine heat sensitive components near the pre-heater.
No risk description available.
Dealer will inspect and where required re-index affected circuits in the pre-heater jumper wiring harness connector.
On certain trucks, the propeller shaft may not have received adequate heat treatment during the manufacturing process. As a result, the shaft may break and fall off while the vehicle is being driven. Separation of the driveshaft would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. In addition, once separated from the vehicle the driveshaft could cause vehicle damage or damage to other vehicles and property, and could potentially result in personal injury or death to bystanders.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the propeller shaft.
The potential defect involves the electronic programming of the digital engine management control unit with regard to throttle valve control. On certain vehicles, when moving slowly in first gear, with low but constant throttle (approximately 1,500 - 2,000 rpm), and the clutch pedal partially depressed (approximately 1 - 2 inches) and held at this position, engine speed may increase resulting in undesired vehicle acceleration.
No risk description available.
Dealers will reprogram the digital engine management control unit.
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH REGULATION 6 - STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE. COMPLIANCE LABEL INCORRECTLY IDENTIFIES THE TIRES APPROPRIATE FOR THE VEHICLE AS P235/75R15 SL (STANDARD LOAD) TIRES RATHER THAN THE INTENDED P235/75R15 XL (EXTRA LOAD) TIRES.
No risk description available.
CORRECT COMPLIANCE LABELS WILL BE MAILED TO OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES.
On certain trucks, the axle housing may have been manufactured with steel that was out of specification (9.5mm thick instead of 11mm thick), which could result in a fatigue failure over time. If failure occurs, the axle may lock-up or the end of the axle could come off, which may result in a vehicle crash with injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the axles.
On certain vehicles, the wire harness for the Occupant Detection System (ODS) and the Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) is routed underneath the carpet on the driver's side floorboard. In areas where road salt is used, salt from the snow on the drivers shoes will melt and may penetrate the carpet and leak into the wire harness. If the harness is exposed to salt brine, corrosion may occur and the wire may break causing the Safety Restraint System (SRS) indicator light to illuminate. A failure of the ODS and OPDS may not detect the presence of a child seat or an out-of-position passenger and deployment of both the front seat passenger's frontal and side airbags will not be suppressed. In the event of a crash, a deploying front passenger airbag or front passenger's side airbag will increase the risk of injury to small or out-of-position occupants.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the wire harness. If there is no corrosion, the harness will be re-insulated; if corrosion is evident, the wire harness will be replaced.
On certain pickup trucks, the alternator wire may be improperly attached, leaving it susceptible to a possible loss of clamp load under certain circumstances. If the alternator connection becomes loose, the high resistance circuit may overheat the power distribution center (PDC), possibly causing a vehicle fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the installation of the alternator wire connection to the PDC and if necessary re-position the wire and re-tighten the attaching nut if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the ignition/park shift interlock system may become inoperable. This can allow the shifter to be moved out of the PARK position with the ignition key removed (or in the lock position) or it could allow the ignition key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the PARK position. This could allow the vehicle to roll away, possibly causing property damage and/or personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the gearshift blocker and bracket assembly.
Certain vehicles may experience failure of the cab entry step mounting strap in the area of the step support bracket to strap weld interface. If the cab entry mounting strap fails while a person is attempting to enter the cab, personal injury could result.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
On certain vehicles, accelerator pedal movement may become rough, slow to return, or the pedal may stick in a depressed position. This could result in a loss of throttle control and a vehicle crash, causing property damage, personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a steel reinforcement bar to the accelerator pedal assembly. With this reinforcement in place, the excess friction that can cause the pedal to stick is eliminated.
