What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
This could allow air pressure to build up in the engine and cause the cylinder head cover gasket to be pushed out of place and leak oil. Oil leaking from the engine during operation could drip or spray onto the rear tire creating the risk of a crash, possibly resulting in injury or death.
What to check before buying
- Engine and cooling. Radiator and fan after a frontal hit, coolant level and condition, overheating.
- Service brakes. Pedal feel, ABS operation, leaks, discs and hoses.
