Exterior lights Vehicle recall #22V903000 · 2022 · 740,108 vehicles

What's wrong: The daytime running lights (drls) May not deactivate when the headlights are on. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Why it matters: Drls that do not deactivate as intended May result in a glare, reducing visibility, and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: The body control module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (ota) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 23, 2023.

What's wrong: The electronic brake control module software May fail to display a warning light when a loss of brake fluid occurs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal vehicle safety standard number 135, "light vehicle brake systems."

Why it matters: Without a warning light, the vehicle May be driven with low brake fluid, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
