2011-2012 Volkswagen Jetta (766 units)
On certain vehicles, stainless steel exhaust tips, sold as over-the-counter accessories, can extend beyond the original length of the factory-installed exhaust pipes. Contact with warm exhaust tips could result in burn injuries.

2007-2008 Kia Sorento (750 units)
The Occupant Classification System (in the right front seat) may misinterpret an incorrectly seated adult as a small stature adult or a child, thereby deactivating the passenger frontal airbag. The front passenger airbag may not deploy in case of an accident.

2007-2008 Hyundai Santa Fe and Veracruz (31,078 units)
On certain vehicles, the clockspring assembly for the driver's airbag may become damaged and fail. As a result the airbag may not function as intended, and the instrument panel warning lamp would illuminate.

2009-2011 Honda Pilot (9,954 units)
The driver and front passenger seatbelt webbing may have been incorrectly manufactured. As a result, the seatbelt may detach from the anchor webbing during a crash.
