Model Year	2013
File date	22/11/12
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Highway driving @ 65 mph with a crosswind gusting to 25 mph. Across front right fender. The rear of the car is far too light to hold it to the road straight. Broadside wind is of course a lot worse. Being passed by a truck you could almost get jerked right under it. There should at least be a small fin across the trunk to catch air and make some down force, because the trunk area is so short it may not even catch air if wind tunneled. 30 years of driving and being a retired professional driver tells me this is the most unsafe car i have ever owned.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
