| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |

| Production period | July 2007 — July 17, 2009 |

Defect
In the steering gear box, the pinion shaft retaining nut has been improperly machined, causing its clamping force to decrease during use. As a result, the nut gradually loosens and, in the worst case, the pinion shaft may disengage entirely, causing a complete loss of steering control.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the tightening condition of the retaining nut and add an anti-loosening clamp to secure it.
