Details

What's wrong: The transmission wiring harness connection might not have been correctly wired during a prior recall repair, and during production. Which can expose the electrical connector to corrosion, and result in an electrical short-circuit.

Why it matters: An electrical short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.

The fix: Dealers will replace the two-part wiring harness and connector, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed August 9, 2024. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available.
