Recalls

2 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Seats Vehicle recall #99V139000 · 1999 · 639 vehicles

What's wrong: The thermostat regulating the temperature of the heated seats was incorrectly positioned during assembly. This incorrect positioning creates the potential that the surface of the heated seat can reach an unacceptably high temperature.

Why it matters: In extreme cases, this could cause damage to any object in contact with the seat cushion.

The fix: Dealers will install an additional temperature control with each seat equipped with heating elements.

Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #02V187000 · 2002 · 2,085 vehicles

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles and limousines, the low pressure brake fluid feed pipe between the master cylinder and remote reservoir has the potential to trap or retain air.

Why it matters: This air could enter the master cylinder causing excessive pedal travel and partial failure of the primary circuit, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace both hoses and brake fluid reservoir. Owner notification began July 19, 2002.
