Automotive Recalls
(Continued)
2010 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Dodge Ram, Jeep Commander, Jeep Grand Cherokee
More than 40,000 Chrysler vehicles could have an ignition problem. Certain vehicles may have been built with a wireless ignition node (WIN) module exhibiting a binding condition of the solenoid latch. The result of the defect could lead to a condition where the key may be removed from the ignition switch (WIN module) prior to placing the shifter in park.
This could result in the potential for unintended vehicle movement and could increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace the WIN module free of charge.

2010 Surbaru Legacy |
2010 Subaru Legacy, Outback
More than 29,400 Subaru vehicles could have a transmission cooling hose problem. On certain vehicles manufactured from July 31 through December 1, 2009, a crack or split can occur in the CVT cooler hose resulting in a fluid leak.
If the fluid is completely leaked during driving, the vehicle will come to a stop, possibly resulting in a crash. Subaru will notify owners and dealers will replace any affected cooler hoses free of charge.
2006-2010 Hummer H3
More than 162,000 Hummer vehicles could have a hood problem. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the integral clip-tabs on the louver on the hood may fracture, causing the hood louver to rattle against the hood and become loose. If this indicator is unnoticed, additional clips could fracture and the hood louver could detach from the vehicle.

2010 Hummer H3 |
If the vehicle is being driving when this occurs, it could strike a following vehicle and cause injury and/or property damage. Dealers will apply an adhesive to the hood louver to secure it to the hood. This service will be performed free of charge.
2005-2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe; 2005-2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan
More than 134,000 Infiniti vehicles could have a seat problem. On certain sedans manufactured from March 29, 2004 through August 25, 2006 and coupes manufactured from April 1, 2004 through May 30, 2007, the wire harness connecting the belt tension sensor (BTS) and the occupant detection sensor (ODS) control unit under the front passenger seat can experience relative movement which can cause wear and oxidization of the terminals and may cause interruption of the signal.
In the event of a crash, the airbag may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury. Nissan has not yet provided a remedy plan or notification schedule.
