Car Recall Check

There could be a fault with the pressure sensors for the airbag system. This could lead to the non-deployment of the side/curtain shield airbags and/or front airbags, increasing the risk of injury to the occupants in the event of a crash.

Over time, the parking brake cable, which is part of the foot-operated parking brake system, could disengage, causing the parking brake to become inoperative. If the transmission is left in a gear other than 'Park' while ignition is on, the vehicle could roll away.

A crack could develop in the fuel evaporative emission control unit which is attached to the fuel tank. When the fuel tank is full, fuel could leak from the crack which, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a vehicle fire.

The Engine Control Unit (ECU) could reset, causing the hybrid system to shut down and resulting in the vehicle stopping while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.

In limited instances, as a consequence of a problem with the inverter assembly, the motor/generator ECU could reset, causing the hybrid system to shut down and resulting in the vehicle stopping while being driven, increasing the risk of a crash.

As a result of a problem with the brake pressure accumulator, nitrogen gas could leak from the brake pressure accumulator into the brake fluid and gradually cause the brake pedal stroke to become longer, resulting in decreased hydraulic pressure. This could result in increased stopping distances.

Due to loss of control of the vehicle, the product poses a risk of accident. Given the improper moulding of the resin body of the crankshaft position sensor installed on the engine block, engine oil may penetrate the seal and enter the sensor wiring connector. In this condition, engine oil inside the sensor wiring connector could cause expansion due to the heat of the engine and could deform the sensor wiring connector. In the worst case, the connector may become disconnected, which could cause the engine to stall while driving and not be able to be restarted.

Insufficient waterproofing of the door opener switch may allow water to infiltrate and cause a short circuit. This could result in the door opening unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion or during an accident if it is not locked, increasing the risk of injury to occupants. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

The accessory seat cover kit may not be installed correctly causing the seat covers not to tear as designed in the event of an airbag deployment. As a result, the cover could prevent the seat-mounted side airbag from deploying properly, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Specific transistors in the boost converter of the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) can be damaged by the high thermal stress caused by repeated driving under certain high-load driving patterns (e.g. from a stop, applying nearly full throttle and then gradually further accelerating to full throttle).This may cause the hybrid system to be shut down without entering a failsafe mode. As a result the vehicle may lose motive power while driving at higher speeds, increasing the risk of an accident.

An electrical short circuit may occur in the instrument panel. This may cause the speedometer, odometer and fuel gauge to malfunction, increasing the risk of an accident.

The programming of the Pre-Collision System (PCS) feature may be improper, which could cause the application of the pre-crash brake assist function to be delayed.This can result in less overall vehicle speed reduction than designed, increasing the risk of injury. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of Motor Vehiclesand their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technicalunits intended for such vehicles.
