What this recall means for you

Some front subframe bolts may not have been tightened properly during assembly, so they could be loose. The subframe is the structure that supports the front suspension and mounts components to the body.

If the bolts are loose, the vehicle's performance in a crash may be reduced, which increases the risk of injury to occupants.
