On a small number of vehicles, water could leak into the starter relay and cause it to corrode. If this happens, the relay could short circuit and the starter could overheat.
Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L engine.
Safety Risk:
A short circuit and/or a starter that overheats can create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.
