Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 16 inch diameter front brake discs rather than 17 inch discs. Under conditions of intense brake usage, braking performance would be reduced.
Why it matters: Depending on traffic and road conditions, as well as a driver's reactions, reduced brake performance could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the front brake discs and pads and, if necessary, replace them. The recall began on October 16, 2008.
