Recall no.89 Tailpipe, Adjustment
Background:
Due to normal production variability, the tip of the tailpipe may protrude beyond the contour of the rear bumper cover. If the vehicle is equipped with a third seat, passengers may come into contact with the tailpipe when exiting or entering the vehicle through the cargo area. If the tailpipe is hot this could result in injury.
