Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles may have accessories installed by set, such as running boards or other items, that were incorrectly installed. The accessory attaching fasteners were not tightened with the proper torque, possibly causing the accessory to detach from the vehicle.

Why it matters: Accessories that detach from a vehicle may result in a vehicle crash and/or personal injury.

The fix: Set will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the affected bolts, free of charge. The recall began February 23, 2015.
