AFFECTED VEHICLES

YearModelTrimVIN Range

BACKGROUND

During manufacturing, the certification label was printed without the month and year. This causes the vehicle to be noncompliant with Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 567, “Certification.” In the event of a vehicle safety recall, an incorrect manufacturing date may prevent owners from determining if the recall affects them, increasing their risk of injury or a crash.

 

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION

Owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign.

Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible.

Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your new or used vehicle inventory.

Failure to repair a vehicle subject to a recall or campaign may subject your dealership to claims or lawsuits from the customer or anyone else harmed as a result of such failure. To see if a vehicle in inventory is affected by this safety recall, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.

 

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Replace the certification label.
