Park outside

An electrical short in the power liftgate module may lead to a vehicle fire with the ignition on or off. A fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.

Fix: Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will relocate the power liftgate module and add a water shield.

Cruise control may not switch off

Crash risk

A short in the wiring can keep the cruise control engaged even when you press the brake or turn the system off, so the car may hold its speed or speed up. This raises the risk of a crash, so stop using cruise control until the repair is done.

Fix: The dealer will update the engine or powertrain control software at no charge.
