5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information describes several safety concerns that should not be ignored. A hatchback on certain manual-transmission vehicles may unlatch with one interior-button press, exposing unsecured rear passengers to greater injury risk. A weak weld in the rear left seat-back frame may reduce strength during a crash. Fuel-system concerns may create excessive vapor-system vacuum, causing an unexpected stall and inability to restart. On certain manual-transmission vehicles, a fractured clutch may leak fluid near hot components and increase fire risk. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved, so have the VIN checked promptly and follow the manufacturer’s remedy.
