"Front brake caliper mounting bolts may not have been tightened properly during assembly, possibly allowing the calipers to loosen," the NHTSA notice said.
It added: "Loose brake calipers can reduce braking performance or interfere with wheel rotation, affecting vehicle handling.
"Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash."
The automaker will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front brake caliper bolts, tightening them as necessary.
