Known issues. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering air bags: a varistor in the occupant classification system control unit could have been manufactured out of specification, which could interrupt the signal between the OCS and the air bag control unit and result in the passenger air bag being suppressed, failing to provide adequate protection in a crash. Owners have filed 5 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged.
