Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #24V752000 · 2024 · 21,069 vehicles
What's wrong: The brake pedal May collapse and cause a loss of brake function.
Why it matters: A loss of brake function increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will reinforce the brake pedal arm, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 17, 2024.
Backup camera Vehicle recall #25V246000 · 2025 · 48,527 vehicles
What's wrong: The display module May not show the rearview camera image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 111, "rear visibility."
Why it matters: A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the software or replace the display as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning May 13, 2025.
Seat belts Vehicle recall #26V510000 · 2026 · 48,777 vehicles
What's wrong: The rear outboard seat belts May become twisted and fail to retract properly.
Why it matters: A seat belt that does not retract May fail to restrain properly an occupant as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the retractors and pillar trim, as necessary, free of charge. Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed September 17, 2026. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available.
