- Safety recalls (104 records, model years 2002–2025) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, fuel system and equipment & accessories.
- Transport Canada recalls (89 records, model years 2003–2025) are most frequently classified under: fuel system, air bags (restraint system) and seat belts.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
