AN UNLATCHED REAR SEAT BACK MAY HAVE REDUCED LUGGAAGE RETENTION CAPABILITIES AND MAY HAVE INCREASED FORWARD DISPLACEMENT
The rear seat back release latch housing may become damaged and unlatched.
Replace left and right side rear seat back release bezels.
THE PASSENGER AIRBAG (PAB) MAY CONTAIN LOOSE FASTNERS DUE TO AN ASSEMBLY PROBLEM AT THE SUPPLIER
The Passenger Airbag (PAB) may contain loose fasteners.
Replace passenger airbag.
REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE CORROSION
The rear lower control arms may experience excessive corrosion eventually resulting in a fracture A fractured rear control arm could cause reduced vehicle control and can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning
Replace both rear lower control arms

Replace both rear lower control arms
VEHICLE SHORT CAUSING CAN-C BUS TO STOP COMMUNICATING
A short in the vehicle causing the CAN-C bus to stop communicating while the cruise control is active and the vehicle speed is below the set speed such that the cruise control system is requesting positive torque at the exact moment of the short it is possible for a positive torque request to be locked on the PCM. This may result in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
Inspect the software level of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and if necessary reprogram the PCM

BRAKE LAMP SWITCH MAY MALFUNCTION
The brake lamp switch may malfunction which can be identified by a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination an audible chime and the brake lights will be illuminated. A malfunctioning brake switch could allow the vehicle to be shifted out of PARK without the brake pedal being depressed and could cause the rear brake lamps to be continuously illuminated. Being able to shift a vehicle out of PARK when the brake pedal is not depressed (and the ignition is in the RUN mode) and/or having the rear brake lamps continuously illuminated could cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.
Replace the brake lamp switch.
Passenger Airbag inflator
The front passenger airbag inflator (PAB) may contain propellant that could possibly degrade over a period of time. This may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed which may result in injury to vehicle occupants in the event of a deployment event.
On affected vehicles replace the inflator assembly.
BRAKE BOOSTER WATER SHIELD MAY BE INCORRECTLY INSTALLED
There is a risk that the brake booster water shield may be incorrectly installed. This may result in limited braking ability due to water ingress into the brake booster.
On affected vehicles the brake booster water shield must be inspected for proper installation. If the brake booster water shield is found to be missing or incorrectly installed the brake booster must also be vacuum tested. Brake boosters that do not pass the vacuum test must be replaced. At the conclusion of this the brake booster must be equipped with a properly installed shield to protect the brake booster crimp joints from water exposure.
AIRBAG CIRCUIT MAY BE COMPROMISED
The driver' s airbag clockspring may ingest dust. This may cause the airbag warning light to illuminate. It may also affect the air bag operation in the event of a collision.
On affected vehicles replace the air bag clock spring steering wheel back cover and steering column shrouds.
TRANSAXLE WIRING HAS BEEN INCORRECTLY FITTED
The transaxle wiring harness may have been built with insufficient wire terminal crimp(s). This may cause the transmission to select neutral.
Reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Where necessary the transaxle range sensor wire harness replaced.

Reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Where necessary the transaxle range sensor wire harness replaced.
SIDE WINDOW AIRBAGS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY
The left and right side window airbags were manufactured with incorrectly manufactured airbag inflator initiators that may not ignite when a deployment voltage is provided to the initiator. As a result vehicles may experience a non-deployment of the window airbag during a crash event warranting an airbag deployment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the left right or both window airbags as instructed on all involved vehicles.
SEAT MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY IN A COLLISION
Front and/or rear seats may have been fitted with incorrectly tightened fasteners. This may increase risk of injury to occupants during a collision.
Replace affected seat assemblies.
AIRBAG AND/OR PRETENSIONER MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY IN A COLLISION
The front impact sensor wire(s) may become detached during a crash event before the �impact signal� is recorded by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). This may affect deployment of airbags and/or operation of pretensioners.
On affected vehicles the existing front end module wiring harness must be modified then routed and secured to a new location.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The sun visors may experience a high resistance short at the sun visor vanity lamp wiring after a service repair to the sun visor headliner or while gaining access above the headliner. This may result in an inoperative vanity lamp and/or an electrical fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the sun visors modify the surrounding sheet metal and install vanity lamp wiring guides.
AIRBAG CIRCUIT MAY BE COMPROMISED
The driver' s airbag clockspring may ingest dust. This may cause the airbag warning light to illuminate. It may also affect the air bag operation in the event of a collision.
On affected vehicles replace the air bag clock spring steering wheel back cover and steering column shrouds.
VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY
The electronic shift lever on about 210000 of the above vehicles may allow a roll away condition if the vehicle�s engine is left running the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the �PARK� position before exiting the vehicle.
On affected vehicles new software will be installed which includes an �Auto Park� feature. A handbook addendum leaflet will also be provided.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES
The ignition switch may unintentionally change position while driving. This may result in a loss of engine power power steering assist power brake assist or disable the airbag function.
On affected vehicles replace the ignition switch and lock cylinder

On affected vehicles replace the ignition switch and lock cylinder
HEADLIGHT DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY FAIL
The Body Control Module (BCM) may have incorrect headlamp levelling parameters. This can result in headlamp levelling switch operation being the opposite of the headlamp directional movement desired. This could cause a crash without warning.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and the headlamp levelling parameters will be reprogrammed within the BCM.
INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF A FRONT AIRBAG
The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module may allow a front airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioner to inadvertently deploy.
On affected vehicles replace the ORC Module. Due to issues with parts supply the recall of WG/WJ models is suspended however KJ models remain unaffected.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
Water intrusion into the power liftgate module electrical connectors can lead to corrosion and higher resistance. This condition can cause the module to become inoperative and/or cause a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected. The vehicles will be inspected for evidence of water intrusion and electrical connector corrosion. The vehicle will be repaired to eliminate the possibility of further water intrusion. On vehicles found with corrosion in the power liftgate module electrical connectors the module and electrical connectors will be replaced. All the vehicles will receive a power liftgate module water shield.
INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF A FRONT AIRBAG
The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module may allow a front airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioner to inadvertently deploy.
On affected vehicles replace the ORC Module. Due to issues with parts supply the recall of WG/WJ models is suspended however KJ models remain unaffected.
