1 NHTSA recall campaign on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
TURN SIGNAL CONTROL MODULES MAY CONTINUE TO FLASH IN THE PRESENCE OF A NON-FUNCTIONING TURN SIGNAL LAMP WHICH IS NONCONFORMANCE TO FMVSS 108.

Remedy
REPLACE TURN SIGNAL CONTROL MODULE, AS NECESSARY.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
