Air Bag Emblem Detachment

A critical safety recall (23V067000) addresses the potential for the resin emblem on the driver's air bag cover to crack and detach during deployment. This poses a significant safety hazard. Estimated repair cost: $0 (Recall).

Over time, radiator hoses and seals can degrade, leading to coolant leaks. This can cause overheating and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $800.
