Volkswagen, Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Toyota Recall a Batch in the U.S.
By James B. Bleeker
Volkswagen AG is recalling 39,583 2005 Jetta sedans because of a fuel leak that may result in a fire.
Ford Motor Company is recalling 10,061 2006 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigators because of tread damage on driver-side tires that occurred during the manufacturing process.
Nissan Motor Company is recalling 125,466 2003-2005 Murano sport utility vehicles because a wire in the alternator may break and as a result the battery may be depleted and the engine may stop running.
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is recalling 3,700 2006 Eclipse coupe hatchbacks because the brake cylinder may have been installed incorrectly. The company reports that it knows of two instances of such incorrect installation.
Toyota Motor Corporation is recalling:
1. 11,592 2005 Tacoma pickup trucks because a seat belt buckle sensor may function improperly and as a result the airbag may deploy improperly in the event of an accident.
2. 345,000 2004-2005 Sienna minivans because some seat belts may, as they retract, get stuck in the bezel through which they are to glide. This recall is termed, in government parlance, a voluntary "Special Service Campaign."
3. 2,500 2005 Tundra pickup trucks because an incorrect lens may have been placed on the airbag indicator light in Tundra trucks equipped with a Captain's passenger chair and as a result the passenger may not be able to verify airbag activation status. This recall is also termed a voluntary "Special Service Campaign."
