Recalls

1 vehicle recall from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Body & structure Vehicle recall #10V411000 · 2010 · 630 vehicles

What's wrong: There is a potential for the "b" hood ornament's retracting mechanism to become corroded. This May lead to the "b" hood ornament not retracting as intended when a vehicle is involved in a crash.

Why it matters: If the hood ornament does not retract, it could increase the risk of injury to a pedestrian in the event of a crash between the vehicle and the pedestrian.

The fix: Dealers will replace the retractable "b" mechanism free of charge. The safety recall began on September 27, 2010.
