Details

What's wrong: Unused electrical connectors for the blind spot detection system may become corroded and could short circuit, which can cause a variety of conditions.

Why it matters: If the fuse for this circuit does not blow, the connectors could overheat and potentially catch fire.

The fix: Dealers will seal the power circuit at the subject connector and replace the fuse for this circuit if necessary free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2009.
