Defect
FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM FORKS COULD DEFORM AFTER SUBSTANTIAL IMPACTS, SUCH AS IN AN ACCIDENT.

Defect
THE FLEXIBLE OIL HOSES FOR THE ENGINE OIL RADIATOR COULD LEAK ENGINE OIL DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CLAMPING OF THE METAL CONNECTORS TO FLEXIBLE PORTION OF OIL HOSE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: LACK OF LUBRICATION COULD CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE; OIL LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE.

Defect
FLEXIBLE RUBBER HOSE FOR RETURN OF FUEL TO RIGHT SIDE FUEL TANK MAY CHAFE IF POSITIONED TOO CLOSE TO METALLIC DISCHARGE CONNECTOR OF AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: FUEL LEAKAGE COULD OCCUR CREATING A FIRE POTENTIAL.
Remedy
REPOSITION FLEXIBLE FUEL HOSE; REPLACE IF HOSE SHOWS ABRASION OR DAMAGE.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 3 recalls should be verified as completed.
