    Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

    Risk: If the sway bar bolts loosen, the sway bar may detach from the axle, affecting the handling and increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 15V758000Nov 16, 2015257 vehiclesModel years 2015–2016

    Risk: The overheating of the water may result in the release of steam, possibly causing the operator to scald themselves and increasing the risk of injury.

  • Recall 15V625000Oct 6, 20158,842 vehiclesModel years 2013–2016

    Risk: An LP leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

    Risk: A missing range enclosure may allow the gas range flame to be extinguished due to air flow. In such a case, propane gas will continue to flow without a flame. If propane continues to flow, in the presence of an ignition source, it may suddenly combust resulting in a fire and/or personal injury.

  • Recall 12V566000Dec 6, 20121,521 vehiclesModel years 2010–2013

  • Recall 11V520000Oct 20, 2011237 vehiclesModel years 2011

    Risk: If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. If both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/dpf housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.

  • Recall 10V525000Oct 26, 201018,461 vehiclesModel years 2005–2011

    Risk: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
