On certain vehicles operated where road salts are frequently used, corrosion of the spare tire carrier assembly cable may cause the separation of the spare tire stowed under the vehicle. The spare tire falling on the road surface creates a safety hazard that may result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: As an interim measure, dealers will remove the spare tire and store it in the cargo area of the vehicle. Dealers will replace the spare tire carrier assembly when parts become available. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2010-123. Vehicles that were inspected and/or repaired under the previous recall may still be at risk of spare tire separation and will require re-inspection and/or repair.

A loss of steering power assist could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the crankshaft pulley.

On certain vehicles, if the retention clip used to secure the center console trim panel was not reinstalled following a service repair, the trim piece could interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal. If this occurs, the accelerator pedal may become stuck at nearly full throttle, which could result in a loss of vehicle control causing property damage, personal injury or death. Note: As this problem result from a servicing issue, it is being handled as a safety improvement campaign instead of a Notice of Defect as prescribed by the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Correction: Dealers will replace the center console trim panel with an updated version which will minimize the risk of interference with the accelerator pedal in the event the retention clip is missing for any reason.

In the event of a crash, this could result in an increased chance of injury for that occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the seatbelt bezel.
