The information on this page is for general educational purposes only and is not a diagnosis. It is compiled from aggregated owner-reported data and publicly available sources, not from an inspection of your vehicle. Symptoms described here can have multiple causes, and the presence of a commonly reported problem does not mean your vehicle has it. Repair cost ranges are estimates that vary by region, shop, vehicle condition, and parts availability.

Passenger airbag Occupant Detection System sensor malfunctions disable airbag deployment on 2014 models excluded from a recall covering 2015-2018 models, and brake line junction corrosion is 'similar to previous recalls but 2014 excluded' — in both cases that model year sits outside the recall.
