NHTSA Recall History
2006:
Starter wiring harness may be misrouted, leading to chafing of protective sleeve covering starter wiring harness; over time, could result in electrical short and loss of electrical-system function.
2006:
Threads in nut that secures seatbelt buckle in limited number of second-row seats may be missing; in a crash, occupant may not be properly restrained.
2006-08:
An incorrect software calibration number (SCN) coding received during a recent workshop visit can affect a number of functions: (1) the fuel gauge readings may be incorrect; (2) a stuck fuel-level sensor may not be displayed in the instrument cluster; (3) the check engine light may illuminate incorrectly; and, (4) the speedometer may be out of tolerance. In the event of a vehicle crash, the electrical fuel pump may not receive a crash signal that is required for the fuel pump to disconnect and prevent future fuel delivery as designed. Dealers will recode the SCN.
2007 R-Class with diesel engine:
Engine may stall and not restart due to a failed crankshaft sensor. Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensor.
2007:
Accelerator pedal in some vehicles might not have been fully fastened; over time, pedal may not maintain a consistent position, making it more difficult to operate.
