Things To Do In SW Florida

The automaker said the recalled vehicles may have an electronic control unit that does not have adequate protection against electrical noise that can occur in crashes, which could lead to incomplete or non-deployment of the airbags.

The Center for Auto Safety said that before its federal lawsuit, the service bulletins were often hard for the public to locate and the DOT wasn’t “consistently” posting them on the Internet. The center agreed to drop its case last month once the DOT posted thousands of the service bulletins, which include warranty and policy memos, product improvement notices and repair instructions for dealership service departments.

The promotion ties in to the automaker’s history of safety innovations.
