On affected vehicles the Parking Assist ECU software may cause (1) the rearview image to freeze briefly during the backing event if reverse is selected within a specific time after ignition is turned on; or (2) the rearview image not to display on the next ignition on if the ignition is turned on and off within a specific time

Fix: Parking Assist ECU software to be updated.

Due to the programming of the HVAC control ECU software under certain conditions such as a specific failure mode of the electric compressor the HVAC system will enter a failsafe mode that suspends the heater operation of the system and affects defroster function. In some cases when the vehicle is operated in certain low temperatures the defrosting performance reduces and may not remove frost ice and/or fog from the windshield glass. This can reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions

Fix: Update the HVAC control ECU software.
