No risk description available.
Dealers will update vehicle software.
On certain hybrid models, an error in communication between the electric motor inverter and the transmission control module could cause the electric motor to stop functioning when the vehicle is operated in electric-only mode, causing a loss of motive power and illuminating the warning lamp. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will update vehicle software.
On certain motorcycles, the hydraulic clutch system may develop a tear in the primary cup (seal) on the clutch master cylinder piston, if this occurs, the system may lose the ability to maintain sufficient lift to keep the clutch disengaged. If this condition remains undetected, it could allow the motorcycle to "creep" forward from a stop, which could lead to a loss of control of the vehicle possibly causing a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will rebuild the clutch master cylinder with a recall repair kit.
On certain vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions, the shift cable may detach from the shift lever. As a result, the driver may not be able to select a different gear position, or place the transmission in the PARK position. If the driver cannot place the vehicle in the PARK position and exits the vehicle without applying the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the shift cable connection and repair as necessary.
On certain vehicles, a defect in the transmission control switch could cause the transmission to shift to the neutral gear position without driver input, resulting in a loss of motive power. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace affected transmission control switches.
On certain vehicles equipped with 1.8T engines and torque-converter (non-DSG) automatic transmissions, out of specification transmission cooler sealing O-rings may allow transmission fluid to leak in proximity to hot surfaces. This could increase the risk of a fire, potentially causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace affected O-rings.
On certain vehicles, the right-side halfshaft retention clip may not have been fully engaged, and could allow the halfshaft to separate. If this were to occur while the vehicle is being driven, it could result in a loss of motive power. If this were to occur while the vehicle is parked on an incline without the parking brake applied, it could result in unintended vehicle movement. Both situations could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect halfshafts for full retention and affect repairs as necessary.
Certain vehicles equipped with an Automatic Transfer Case may have a condition in which an electric signal short may cause the transfer case to switch to neutral without operator input. The transfer case mode selection knob would still indicate the last selected drive mode, but the driver would not have any feedback that the transfer case is in neutral. If the transfer case switches to neutral while the vehicle is in motion, the driver would experience a loss of motive power and, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could roll away. Both scenarios could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will re-program the software of the Transfer Case Control Module.
On certain 2012 to 2014 model year vehicles, due to improper manufacturing of the oil seal boss in certain transfer assemblies, the oil seal can become out of position and allow automatic transmission fluid to enter into the transfer assembly, resulting in reduced automatic transmission fluid pressure in the transaxle. This condition would illuminate the “Automatic Transmission” (A/T) warning light in the instrument panel and could result in the inability to shift gears or to drive the vehicle, increasing the risk of crash causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transfer assembly.
On certain vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions, the shift cable may not be fully seated on the shifter and/or transmission bracket. If the cable were to detach, the driver may not be able to select a different gear position, or place the transmission in the PARK position. If the driver cannot place the vehicle in the PARK position and exits the vehicle without applying the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and ensure the cable is fully seated at the transmission and at the shifter bracket.
Some motorcycles may have been assembled with drive chains that have improper riveting. If the drive chain were to come off, the motorcycle could unexpectedly lose driving force, increasing the risk of a crash causing personal injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, affect repairs.
On certain vehicles, the passenger side driveshaft could fracture and separate. If this were to occur while the vehicle is being driven, it could result in a loss of motive power. If this were to occur while the vehicle is parked on an incline without the parking brake applied, it could result in unintended vehicle movement. Both situations could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace affected driveshafts.
On certain vehicles equipped with 4 speed automatic transmissions, the shift cable could fracture without warning. If this occurs, the driver may not be able to select a different gear position, remove the key from the ignition, or place the transmission in the PARK position. If the driver cannot place the vehicle in the PARK position and exits the vehicle without applying the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a revised shift cable and mounting bracket.
On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine, the transmission control module calibration may cause a three-to-four second delay in acceleration. This will occur if the following sequence is commanded within two seconds: during an upshift from first to second gear (12 – 16 km/h), the driver then brakes the vehicle to less than 8 km/h, and then accelerates again. A lag in acceleration could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will reprogram the transmission control module.
On certain motorcycles, the gearbox sealing ring could be displaced due to changes in internal gearbox pressure, causing an oil leak into the rear suspension swingarm. If the swingarm sealing bellow is not fully tightened, leaking oil could be dispersed onto the rear tire, which could decrease tire traction and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a sealing ring retaining bracket.
On certain vehicles equipped with 1.8T engines and torque-converter (non-DSG) automatic transmissions, out of specification transmission cooler sealing O-rings may allow transmission fluid to leak in proximity to hot surfaces. This could increase the risk of a fire, potentially causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace affected O-rings.
Certain vehicles may have been built with improperly machined transmission cases which could affect park pawl engagement. If the parking brake is not applied, this could result in unintended vehicle movement and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the transmission and replace if necessary.
On certain vehicles equipped with 6 speed automatic transmissions, transmission cooler lines may not have been securely seated in their fittings at time of assembly. This could result in a transmission fluid leak in proximity to hot surfaces which could increase the risk of a fire, potentially causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect connections and repair as necessary.
On certain vehicles, the transmission oil cooler hose may detach due to the use of clamps with insufficient clamping force, causing transmission fluid leakage and the illumination of the malfunction indicator light in the dashboard. Continued operation in this condition could result in noise, vibration and a loss of motive power which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will affect repairs.
On certain motorcycles, the motor rotor may contact the stator at sustained maximum motor RPM. Should this occur during motorcycle operation, rear wheel lockup could result, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will conduct a stationary screening test of affected motors and replace if necessary. In the interim, owners are advised to keep motor RPM below 5 000 RPM - This equates to 136 km/h for the SR model, and 127 km/h on the S model.
