I was delayed in getting this out but… if you own a Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, GMC, Fiat, Infiniti, Jeep, Lexus, Lotus, Nissan, Pontiac, Subaru or Toyota then your car might be subject to a recall.
Certain units of the following vehicle models are under recall by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to address these potential issues:
- 2012 Cadillac CTS for brake boost pushrod retention nuts (p. 4).
- 2012 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks for replacement of loose seatbelt buckle
- 2012 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans for airbag replacement (p. 6).
- electrical connectors (p. 8).
- 2008-2012 Chrysler Jeep Wrangler (right hand drive models) for airbag non-deployment (p. 2).
- 2012 Dodge Journey and Fiat 500 vehicles for replacement of contaminated brake fluid and components (p. 8).
- 2011-2012 Infiniti G37 and 2011 Nissan 370Z coupes for power window switch controllers (p. 5).
- 2011 Lotus Elise for erratic turn signal/hazard lamps (p. 5). For a British car it would be too easy to insert a Prince of Darkness joke here even though they no longer use Lucas electrical components.

- 2011 Nissan Rogue for electric power steering assist control unit replacement (p. 11).
