What's wrong, in plain English
The 12-volt battery in these vehicles can degrade over time and suddenly stop working. If that happens, the vehicle could lose electrical accessories like the hazard lights, or lose the power needed to keep driving. Dealers will inspect the battery and replace it if needed, at no charge. Vehicles already repaired under an earlier recall for this issue will need this new remedy completed.
