Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Recall campaigns

1 campaign cover this model year — what the defect is, what it could cause, and what the remedy is

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

1,000 units potentially affected
The defect: THE FRONT BRAKE LINE CONNECTING THE FRONT SECTION OF THE DUAL BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WITH THE MASTER BRAKE PIPE CONNECTOR WAS IMPROPERLY ROUTED IN ASSEMBLY. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BRAKE LINE TO CHAFE AGAINST A CLAMP ON THE EMISSION CONTROL AIR PUMP OUTPUT HOSE. CONTINUED ABRASION MAY CUASE PERFORATION OR RUPTURE OF THE BRAKE LINE, RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND LOSS OF FRONT BRAKING CAPABILITY.
The remedy: DEALER WILL REROUTE THE FRONT BRAKE LINE TO PRECLUDE CHAFING. IF DAMAGED, THE BRAKE LINE WILL BE REPLACED, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
