Other notes:
- Though most know the Holden Cruze today as the compact four-door sedan or five-door hatchback, the original Cruze — the vehicle being being recalled here — was far different from the current model. Rather than a compact sedan or hatch, the first Holden (and Chevrolet) vehicle to carry the Cruze name was based on the subcompact Suzuki Ignis/Suzuki Swift five-door hatchback. The vehicle was a subcompact crossover.
- Known as YGM1 internally and sold as the Chevrolet Cruze and Holden Cruze in various global markets, the vehicle was developed by Holden, which is also credited for generating the Cruze nameplate.
