20141912014-05-27. Engine. On certain vehicles, the engine oil cooler lines could fail, causing an oil leak. Oil may contact a hot engine or exhaust component, which could result in a fire. Oil may also be sprayed onto the tires and/or brakes, which could adversely affect vehicles stability. As well, engine oil spilt on the roadway could endanger other road users by making the roadway unexpectedly slippery. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will repair or replace the engine oil cooler lines. Note: This is an expansion of recalls 2011-390 and 2013-039 for vehicles not included in previous campaigns.
20091512009-05-27. Suspension. On certain vehicles, the bolts securing the rear hubs to the suspension may not have been adequately tightened during vehicle assembly. An insecure wheel hub may cause a loss of vehicle control, which could result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will verify the tightening torque of the rear hub bolt.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
