- [2008374](/recalls/tc/2008374.md), 2008-10-10: Other. On certain vehicles, the bracket that is the anchor point for the left rear fuel tank mounting strap may have been improperly formed during the manufacturing process.  This may have caused the metal to spilt in the area where the bolt holds the fuel strap to the underside of the vehicle.  In the event the tank is full of fuel and the vehicle is involved in a serious collision the bracket could break and the tank could drop down. This situation could result in a fuel leak and the possibility of a fire.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and if necessary install a reinforcement cap to the fuel tank bracket.
- [2008264](/recalls/tc/2008264.md), 2008-07-28: Other. On certain vehicles, the ignition key interlock cable may allow the interlocking cam to fall forward and allow the ignition key to be removed from the ignition when the gearshift mechanism is not in the PARK position.  If the driver does not shift to PARK before removing the key, and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.  This could result in property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
- [2005268](/recalls/tc/2005268.md), 2005-09-16: Brakes. On certain vehicles, the brake master cylinder was improperly assembled which can result in reduced braking pressure and increase brake pedal stroke.  Should this condition occur, the braking distance required to stop the vehicle will increase and may lead to a vehicle crash.  Correction: Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder.
