Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #06V313000 · 2006 · 81 vehicles
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, there is the potential for insufficient clearance between a brake pipe and an engine mounted hose clip, which could eventually result in failure of the brake pipe.
Why it matters: This failure could result in an increased stopping distance when braking increasing the risk of a crash and also a risk of fire due to brake fluid escaping into the engine compartment.
The fix: Dealers will inspect to ascertain the clearance between the brake pipe and hose clip and repair as necessary free of charge. The recall began on September 5, 2006.
Airbags Vehicle recall #08V072000 · 2008 · 4 vehicles
What's wrong: The replacement air bag trimmed covers have been manufactured with tethers of an incorrect length.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, this could result in damage to the air bag itself during deployment increasing the risk of injuries.

Fuel system Vehicle recall #08V217000 · 2008 · 13,420 vehicles
