On certain vehicles, the tunnel heat shield may drop down and rub on the drive shaft, which could eventually result in the drive shaft breaking and loss of motive power. In conjunction with traffic and road conditions and driver reactions, this could increase the risk of a crash. A broken drive shaft could also impact the tunnel with sufficient force to cause airbag deployment. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation could startle the driver which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will install a heat shield support bracket.
On certain vehicles, the windshield wiper motor may contain excessive adhesive that may also experience water ingestion which could result in intermittent and eventual inoperative windshield wipers. A loss of windshield wipers could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the windshield wiper motor.
On certain vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the park brake lever clutch drum may distort and reduce the effectiveness of the park brake system. This could allow the vehicle to move inadvertently and cause a crash without any warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the park brake lever assembly.
On certain vehicles, the windshield and/or the fixed rear quarter glass may have been assembled using incorrect urethane adhesive. This situation could affect glass retention. Should the glass separate while the vehicle is underway, it could strike a motorist or pedestrian, which could result in personal injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will replace windshield and/or fixed rear quarter glass.
