- [04V305000](/recalls/nhtsa/04V305000.md), 2004-06-24: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY. ON CERTAIN PASSENGER AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLES MAY EMIT A "CLICK" SOUND DURING THE BUCKLING PROCESS THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE SOUND EMITTED WHEN A BUCKLE IS BEING LATCHED, WHEN IT IS NOT.

- [00V205000](/recalls/nhtsa/00V205000.md), 2000-07-27: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE.  THESE VEHICLES WERE DISTRIBUTED WITH OWNERS MANUALS WITH AN INCORRECT JUMP START DIAGRAM.   THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUMP STARTING ARE ACCURATE.  HOWEVER, THE DIAGRAM DEPICTS THE JUMPER CABLES ATTACHED TO THE WRONG POLARITY TERMINALS.  IF THE DIAGRAM WERE FOLLOWED WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE INSTRUCTIONS, THE RESULTING IMPROPER CONNECTIONS COULD CAUSE THE BATTERY TO RUPTURE AGGRESSIVELY DUE TO INCREASED INTERNAL PRESSURES.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2005064](/recalls/tc/2005064.md), 2005-03-17: Fuel System. Certain vehicles may develop fuel leaks at the fuel pump outlet spigot located on top of the fuel pump cover plate.  Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.  Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel pump outlet spigot with an improved version.
- [2004294](/recalls/tc/2004294.md), 2004-08-23: Seats And Restraints. On certain vehicles, the front seat belt buckles may not latch properly, even though they emit a clicking sound during latching.  Improperly latched buckles would not provide passenger restraint and could pull out at any time, especially during a collision.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the front seat belt buckles.
- [2000095](/recalls/tc/2000095.md), 2000-04-14: Other. Certain vehicles do not comply with Regulation 6 \- Statement of Compliance.

Correction:  A correct National Safety Mark will be affixed to affected vehicles.  An adhesive label, which indicates the vehicle type in both French and English, will be affixed to the permanent compliance label.
