Vehicles covered by 12V065000 (8)
Is my car affected?
Being on this list means your year, make and model fall inside campaign 12V065000. It does not mean your individual car does: a campaign covers a range of VINs built in a specific window, and cars either side of that window are untouched.
Check the 17-character VIN from the driver-side dashboard or door jamb against NHTSA's lookup. If it is covered, the dealer must do the work free of charge, regardless of the car's age or mileage.
