Recall campaigns
| Campaign | Reported | Part | Problem | Vehicles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 04V-036 | January 27, 2004 | Electrical system (ignition, switch) | On certain passenger vehicles. If the engine fails to start and the driver holds the key in the "start" position for an extended period, high current flows through the ignition switch, and sometimes produces enough heat to melt internal switch parts. | 1,415,231 |
