Electronic stability control · Standard
The NHTSA record was matched using the decoded model year, make, model, body, drivetrain and any required cab or powertrain details. Source naming differences do not combine different configurations.
Ratings describe a tested configuration, not the condition or crash history of this individual used vehicle. Compare NHTSA overall and frontal ratings only within the same vehicle class and within 250 pounds of curb weight.

Autorrive assessment
An Autorrive score needs an additional permitted, configuration-matched independent assessment of crash protection, prevention and headlights.
Additional independent testing
IIHS evaluates crash protection, crash prevention and equipment using its own tests and grading system.
A verified independent assessment is not yet included in this report. NHTSA results above remain separate from an Autorrive composite score.

This may be due to the software in the driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM). Power folding mirror operation from the physical button is not affected by this condition. Inform customers that engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition that is expected by the end of Q2 2027. Replacement or reprogramming of the accessory protocol interface module (APIM), DDM, or PDM will not resolve this condition. Monitor Professional Technician System (PTS) for additional inf
