The issue is linked to one accident, but the company is unaware of any related injuries.
The problem can cause the ignition key to move out of the “on” position while the car is being driven, usually because it was bumped by a driver’s knee, the company said in a statement. That could cause the engine to stall and the front airbags to stop working.
Problems with ignition switches have been found in millions of vehicles recalled this year. Chrysler recalled 696,000 minivans and SUVs for a similar issue in June.
General Motors (GM) is currently under investigation after it took ten years to recall 2.6 million vehicles for an ignition switch problem that has been linked to at least 13 deaths. It found a problem with the same part in 11.6 million vehicles it recalled in June.
