The engine compartment fusebox on affected vehicles may come loose over time, potentially damaging fuses and disrupting critical functions including engine, power steering assist, electronic stability control (ESP), and Active Brake Assist. “A loss of engine operation, power steering assist, ESP system, or Active Brake Assist can increase the risk of a crash,” NHTSA said.
