Recall 2017167

The issue

Certain vehicles may have a loose differential pin retaining screw. This could damage or lock up the rear axle differential, resulting in a loss of motive power which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the differential pin retaining screw as necessary. If the inspection reveals that the retaining screw is loose or damaged, the rear axle assemble will be replaced.
