What is wrong

On certain vehicles, when stationary, water may leak into the kick panel areas and can then enter electrical components located in that area. Subsequent corrosion can result in a high resistance short circuit that can heat up to the point of igniting the plastic in the electrical components or heat up other paths to ground which can lead to ignition of the kick pad trim panels, instrument panel, etc.

What the dealer will do

Replace the 25 amp circuit breakers with 25 amp fuses in the fuse block; remove a temporary paper fuse box cover; install a plastic shield over the fuse block; reorient the power door lock relay; replace remote keyless entry module if corroded and reorient it and apply additional body sealer in key areas.

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may have a bead damage to the tires which occurred during tire mounting. The damage to the tire reinforcing structure in the bead "toe" area would likely manifest itself as a bulge in the sidewall after the tire is inflated. This damage could result in rapid air loss, which could cause injuries to anyone if they were handling the tire when this occurred.

What the dealer will do

Tires will be demounted and inspected for bead damage. If bead damage is present, the tire will be replaced.
