Issues but those such as the fuel pump assembly have the least amount of issued recalls representing a negligible amount of total vehicles.

The fuel pump may not supply enough fuel to the engine, causing hard starting, engine hesitation, or other potential impairment.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
