Vehicle recalltype
Details
What's wrong: This vehicle has electronic power steering (eps), and the contact pins on the eps control unit may not have been welded properly resulting in increased resistance.
Why it matters: An increase in pin contact resistance can increase the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and ignition is off.
The fix: The vehicle was repaired at the dealership before sale. Therefore, an owner notification notice will not be issued for this campaign.
