On certain vehicles, wiring within the underhood fuse panel wiring may break, causing intermittent low beam function. This could compromise driver visibility and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the underhood fuse panel.
A failure of this component (lights and instruments) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
Certain vehicles equipped with tilt and telescoping steering column may have an intermittent or open condition in a connector in the Steering Wheel Position Sensor (SWPS) circuit located in the steering column. If this intermittent or open condition occurs, the “SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM” message is displayed, and a short-duration brake apply may occur if the signals for steering wheel rotation or ground are corrupted. The manufacturer assessed the brake application as observable, but controllable and vehicle handling is maintained by minor corrections in steering, however, if the driver does not respond to the change in vehicle movement, it could result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, install a terminal position assurance clip to the connector.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles equipped with a removable roof, the adhesive between the roof and the frame may separate. If there is a complete separation, the roof panel may detach from the vehicle and should this happen while driving, it could result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a new design roof panel.
A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Certain vehicles may have been built with a power steering hose that is not to specification. Under extreme steering manoeuvres, such as turning the steering wheel fully to the left or right while braking, the hose may fracture and leak fluid. If this were to occur, power steering assist would be lost and increased steering effort would be required. On vehicles equipped with hydro-boost power brakes, it could also result in loss of power brake assist and increase braking effort would be required. If power steering fluid were to spray onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur. Correction: Dealers will inspect the power steering hose(s) for two suspect date codes and replace them if required.

Certain vehicles were produced with one or both rear brake hydraulic lines that can come in contact with or be affected by heat from the left engine exhaust manifold and the left exhaust pipe. Also, on some 2005 vehicles, the crossover brake line to the right rear brake can come in contact with the rear differential case. In both cases, a half system brake failure could occur, resulting in increased stopping distances. Correction: Dealers will repair/reposition the rear brake lines.
