On certain vehicles equipped with a power liftgate system, the gas-filled struts (which help to raise and support the liftgate) may be prone to early life failures due to a manufacturing flaw. This could allow the liftgate to drop suddenly, placing anyone beneath or near the gate at risk of personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will replace both liftgate struts.

On certain vehicles, the vent shut-float valve case (a component of the on-board vapour recovery system located inside the fuel tank) may have been incorrectly manufactured and could fail. This could allow fuel leakage from the tank which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel tank assembly.
