5 common questions answered
NHTSA’s recall information identifies risks involving seat belt retractors, glass roof hatches, foldaway seats, and a hybrid-system universal joint. A retractor problem may leave an occupant unsecured in a crash. A shattering hatch may send glass toward passengers. A seat that does not stay locked can move during a sudden stop, while a failed universal joint may cause loss of drive power or create a road hazard. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A free VIN check helps determine whether one of these campaigns applies to your van, so contact our team promptly if you received a notice or have questions.
