On certain vehicles, the inner tie rod attachment to the steering gear may not have been tightened to specification. With this condition, the tie rod can separate from the steering gear without warning, which could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the entire steering gear assembly.
On certain vehicles, insulation on the engine block heater power cord may become damaged if the cord is handled during very cold days (temperatures below -25C). This could create an electrical shock hazard, which could result in personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the block heater cord.
On certain vehicles, the driver's (frontal) airbag inflator was built with an incorrect part which could cause the inflator to rupture during a deployment. In a crash, this may cause airbag components to separate, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. In some cases, the airbag may not inflate. Failure of the driver airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver's (frontal) airbag.
On certain vehicles, the passenger side halfshaft could fracture and separate. If this were to occur while the vehicle is being driven, it could result in a loss of motive power. If this were to occur while the vehicle is parked on an incline without the parking brake applied, it could result in unintended vehicle movement. Both situations could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace affected halfshafts. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2013323. Some vehicles that were inspected and/or repaired under the previous recall will need to be re-inspected and repaired if necessary.
