On certain vehicles operated in the "salt-belt" provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador. The rear suspension subframe components were produced with poor paint quality which, after continued exposure to corrosive road salts for a period of several years, may result in rust-out of the component and possible breakage of the subframe. Correction: Dealer will clean and rust-proof with anti-rust oil and anti-rust wax.
On certain vehicles, the headlamp assemblies may not comply with the marking requirements of CMVSS 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The bulb center mark on the lens has been interchanged between 2-bulb headlamps and 4-bulb headlamps. Correction: No corrective action will be taken due to the inconsequence to vehicle safety. The manufacturing process has been remedied to assure correction of the non-compliance on vehicles manufactured since January 30, 2000.

Moisture can get inside the gearbox and disrupt the electrical connections on the mode selection switch circuit board. This can result in the vehicle failing to discern the engaged gear position, causing the reverse light not to illuminate and the rearview monitor to fail to display the image from the rearview camera. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries. Production dates not stated in the alert. Types: e13*2018/858*00010*00.
The Electronic Park Brake (EPB) may not operate as intended. This can lead to the vehicle moving or rolling away whilst in the park brake mode, creating a risk of an accident.
