Infiniti M45 2003-2004
174 units

Certain vehicles may experience fuel gauge errors. The gauge may read higher than the actual level in the gas tank, or always indicate full. As such, the vehicle could run out of gas without notice. Engine stalling would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will modify the electrical circuit for the instrument gauge cluster.

Jeep Liberty 2004-2005
24,720 units

On certain vehicles, excessive corrosion could cause a rear suspension lower control arm to fracture and fail. This could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will replace the rear lower control arms.

Buick Regal 2012
299 units

On certain vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, the Body Control Module (BCM) was incorrectly programmed during the manufacturing process, thereby preventing parking lamp activation. This could render the vehicle less visible to other motorists during hours of darkness, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Body Control Module.

Toyota Camry 2009
Toyota Venza 2009-2011

30,477 units

On certain vehicles, silicone grease may have come into contact with the stop lamp switch during vehicle assembly. If grease infiltrates the switch, instrument panel warning lamps could illuminate, a no start condition could result, or the shift lever may not shift from the PARK position.

In some instances, the vehicle stop lamps could become inoperative. Failure of the stop lamps to illuminate when the brakes are applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch.

Toyota Tacoma 2005-2009
17,178 units

On certain vehicles, electrical circuitry in the steering wheel assembly may become damaged. As a result, the driver's airbag may not function as intended, causing the instrument panel airbag warning lamp to illuminate. Failure of the driver's airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.

Correction: Dealers will replace the spiral cable assembly.
