What NHTSA recorded

Retaining bolts used throughout the car which ground certain electrical systems and components were improperly heat treated, making the bolts brittle and subject to breakage. Consequence of defect: depending on bolt which fails, the vehicle will experience loss of power to the fuel pump, front and rear lighting, windshield wipers, dashboard lights and/or interior accessories without warning. Loss of power to the fuel pump will cause the car to stall which may present a highway hazard. Loss of lights and/or windshield wiper action may prevent the driver from having clear vision of the road or have the car be visible to other traffic which may lead to an accident.

Remedy

Install replacement bolts which are properly heat treated.
