A critical recall addresses potential short circuits in the power steering assembly, which can lead to a loss of steering assist. This poses a significant safety risk, especially at lower speeds or during maneuvering. Estimated repair cost: $800 - $1,500.

Instrument Cluster Malfunction

A recall exists for a software error linked to the tow hitch harness control module, affecting the instrument panel screen. This can lead to non-compliance with safety standards and potential driver distraction. Estimated repair cost: $500 - $1,000.

Recalls have been issued for loose roof molding, which can detach from the vehicle. While a lower safety risk, it can cause property damage or injury if the component detaches while driving. Estimated repair cost: $100 - $300.
