- Some owners were notified of recall campaign 23V858000 for the fuel pump module but reported the replacement part was not yet available at the dealer.
- One owner reported a high pressure fuel pump failure on a low-mileage van, with the mechanic finding the area near the fuel pipe saturated with fuel.
- A separate report describes the vehicle shifting into Park on its own or losing electrical power after idle-stop system service, distinct from the fuel pump complaints.
