THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE BRAKE FAILURE IF BOLTS ARE USED TO MOUNT A STEEL SPARE WHEEL ASSEMBLY. THE BOLTS MAY PROTRUDE INTO THE BRAKE AREA WHEN FASTENING THE STEEL SPARE WHEEL. WHEN THE WHEEL ROTATES, THE BOLTS MAY CONTACT THE ELECTRIC BRAKE MAGNET CAUSING BRAKE MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGE.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
