Certain vehicles may have received an incorrectly manufactured rear driveshaft coupling (part number TVF100010) as a replacement part during service. Drive coupling failure could allow the driveshaft to detach from the vehicle, resulting in a loss of propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. As well, a driveshaft separating from the vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the driveshaft coupling.
DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE SRS AND CRUISE CONTROL CIRCUITS IN THE AREA OF THE STEERING WHEEL, AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE CRUISE CONTROL COULD CAUSE THE ROTARY COUPLER TO FAIL. THIS COULD INITIATE AN INVOLUNTARY DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG. CORRECTION: A FUSED LINK WILL BE ADDED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL CIRCUIT ON ALL VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG.
THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR MAY FAIL TO FULLY LATCH, CAUSING THE DOOR TO "BOUNCE" BACK OFF OF THE DOOR SEALS. THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO INADVERTENT OPENING OF THE DOOR WHICH WOULD PUT AN OCCUPANT SEATED NEXT TO THE DOOR AT RISK OF HARM. CORRECTION: AN EXTENDED LENGTH LATCH MOUNTING FASTENER WILL BE INSTALLED TO ASSURE PROPER ORIENTATION OF THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LATCH RELATIVE TO THE MOUNTING LEG OF THE ADJACENT WINDOW FRAME. IN SOME CASES WHERE LATCH LOADS HAVE BEEN EXCESSIVE, REPLACEMENT OF THE LATCH MAY BE REQUIRED.
