Package names currently documented include Pro4xgraphics package and Pro4xluxury package. Package availability does not prove that a package is installed on a particular vehicle.

Safety evidence in context
This Guide includes 2 recalls, 25 complaints, 72 manufacturer communications, and 2 recall campaigns. These are different kinds of records, not a reliability score or failure rate, and applicability can vary by version or powertrain.
Safety evidence stays separated by what it actually measures.
Crash-test observations, recalls, manufacturer communications and driver-assistance equipment are different evidence types. AutoUnite does not collapse them into an artificial score.
Ask AutoUnite which safety facts apply to the version you're considering.
What ownership looks like
Original manufacturer coverage shown here includes Basic: 3 years / 36,000 miles, Powertrain: 5 years / 60,000 miles, Seat belts: 10 years / Unlimited miles, and Corrosion perforation: 5 years / Unlimited miles. On a used or nearly new vehicle, remaining coverage depends on in-service date, mileage and eligibility.
What changed for this model year
The year-over-year record is not complete enough to say exactly what changed. A missing change record is not treated as proof that the vehicle carried over unchanged.
