Visibility (wipers, glass) Vehicle recall #23V681000 · 2023 · 42 vehicles
What's wrong: The windshield May have been assembled without the proper urethane sealant required to bond the windshield to the vehicle body.
Why it matters: A windshield that is not properly bonded May detach during a crash and increase the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the windshield and apply primer and urethane sealant. If the windshield is damaged, the dealer will replace it. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 14, 2023.
Electrical Vehicle recall #24V459000 · 2024 · 6,942 vehicles
What's wrong: The instrument panel May not illuminate when the hazard warning lights, high beams, or turn signals are activated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 101, "controls and displays" and 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and assoc. Equipment."
Why it matters: Without the illuminated reminder, the driver could fail to turn off the lights when no longer needed. Hazard warning lights, high beams, or turn signals that remain activated unintentionally can confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the instrument panel software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 13, 2024.
