According to NHTSA, the heat shield can drop and rub against the drive shaft, causing it to wear and break, resulting in the power loss and inflation of the side air bags may inflate.
The company has also recalled about 30,000 small SUVs because a faulty hose inside the gas tank can cause them to run out of fuel.
