2009 Annual Summary of Emission- Related Recall and Voluntary Service Campaigns Performed on Light-Duty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks United States jWU Environmental Protection kl Agency ------- 2009 Annual Summary of Emission-Related Recall and Voluntary Service Campaigns Performed on Light- Duty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks Compliance and Innovative Strategies Division Office of Transportation and Air Quality U.S. Environmental Protection Agency United States EPA420-B-10-007b Environmental Protection june 2010 Agency ------- INTRODUCTION Federal regulations require motor vehicle manufacturers to report to EPA all recalls that affect emission-related components or systems. The following report briefly describes light- duty vehicle recalls reported to EPA that affect emission-related components or systems. Note that some of the recalls listed in this report fix problems that do not impact emission control performance even though they involve the repair or replacement of emission-related parts. Manufacturers voluntarily recall vehicles for various reasons, such as safety or customer satisfaction, but if they affect emission-related parts, they still must be reported to EPA. They are all considered "emission-related" for the purposes of this report. This report is divided into two sections. The first section is titled, "Emission-Related Recalls". These are the typical recalls where the manufacturer recommends that the owner bring the car in for repair under the recall. In this case, the owner should not wait until the problem is apparent before getting the vehicle fixed. The second section titled, "Emission- Related Voluntary Service Campaigns". Under EPA rules, these are still considered recalls, but are listed separately because the manufacturer is telling the owner to bring the car in for repair only if the problem is apparent (such as a warning light, noise, drive problem, etc.). There is usually a warranty extension associated with these types of recalls. Note that the manufacturer might not call a voluntary service campaign a "recall" in the owner or dealer notifications. Recalls can be initiated voluntarily by the manufacturer or can be ordered by EPA. Voluntary recalls could also be directly influenced by EPA. Influenced recalls are those where EPA has had a direct role in convincing the manufacturer to voluntarily recall the vehicles. Because EPA is fairly successful at influencing recalls, ordered recalls are extremely rare. This report indicates these categories in the "Type" column. A "V" designation is a voluntary recall without direct EPA influence, an "I" designation is a voluntary recall that was directly influenced by EPA, a "VSC" designation is a voluntary service campaign not directly influenced by EPA, and an "I-VSC" designation is a voluntary service campaign directly influenced by EPA. If there is an ordered recall, the type will be designated with an "O". It should also be noted that recalls may not include all of the vehicles in the described year, model, and engine family. Some recalls are specific to subsets of these categories because the problem or defect only affects part of a production run. The specific vehicles subject to a recall are identified by the manufacturer in the technical service bulletins provided to the repair facilities. These are usually listings based on the Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN, that is stamped on each vehicle. You should direct any questions regarding your vehicle's inclusion in a recall to the dealer repair facility. If there are still issues or problems, direct these to EPA at the e-mail address: vehicle-recalls@epa. 2009 Annual Report 1 EPA-420-B-10-007b ------- Abbreviations and Acronyms Acronym/Term: Definition: CARB California Air Resources Board CFV Clean Fuel Vehicle DTC Diagnostic Trouble Code ECU Engine Control Unit ECM Engine Control Module EGR Exhaust Gas Recirculation MIL Malfunction Indicator Light MY Model Year NHTSA National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NLEV National Low Emission Vehicle OBD On-Board Diagnostics PCM Powertrain Control Module TCM Transmission Control Module TSB Technical Service Bulletin VECI Vehicle Emission Control Information VERR Voluntary Emissions Recall Report Recall Type: Definition: 0 Ordered by EPA V Voluntary Recall by Manufacturer VSC Voluntary Service Campaign by Manufacturer 1 Manufacturer voluntary action with EPA Influence 2009 Annual Report 2 EPA-420-B-10-007b ------- Section 1: Emission-Related Recalls New recalls received after 4th Quarter 2009: Manufacturer EPA# Bentley 3461 BMW 3765 Chrysler 3748 3802 GM 3624 Honda (Amended) 3750 Hyundai 3591 Jaguar 3536 Kia 3592 Mitsubishi 3897 Nissan 3799 3903 Subaru 3754 3850 3894 VW 3697 3727 2009 Annual Report 3 EPA-420-B-10-007b ------- 2009 Emissions-Related Recall Campaigns through December 2009 Mfr.
