U.S. Safety Recalls by Volkswagen, Ford, Nissan, and Toyota
By James B. Bleeker
The following U.S. safety recalls have been announced within the past month.
By Volkswagen AG:
(1) 28,000 1996-1997 Audi A4 sedans for an ignition that may fail to return to running position and consequently prevent the windshield wipers and headlights from turning on.
By Ford Motor Company:
(2) 139,537 2005 Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego sedans and 2005-2006 Ford Freestar minivans for side door latches that may let in water which may freeze, prevent the door from properly latching, and consequently cause the door to open while the vehicle is in motion.
(3) 6,164 2006 Ford Escape hybrid sport-utility vehicles for a driveshaft that may fracture.
By Nissan Motor Company:
(4) About 70,0001 2004-2006 Nissan Murano sport-utility vehicles for excessively long rods from the ignition to the engine that may cause the engine to start without turning on the ignition.
(5) About 10,0001 Nissan Maxima sedans for the same ignition problem.
By Toyota Motor Corporation:
(8) 30,000 2005-2006 Scion tC coupes (about 1/5 of the total sold) for seat-mounted and side curtain air bags that may deploy when the door is forcefully closed while the ignition is on or within 90 seconds after the ignition is turned off.
1 The numbers are for all of North America.
