Details
What's wrong: There is a potential for the voltage converter that relays power from the integrated motor assist (ima) system to the vehicle's electrical components to fail.
Why it matters: This failure will cause the headlights to turn off, the engine to stall, and prevent the vehicle from being restarted, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the voltage converter free of charge. The safety recall began on March 25, 2011.
