Seat belts, Airbags Vehicle recall #24V510000 · 2024 · 337,128 vehicles

What's wrong: A seat belt buckle switch sensor May be improperly connected, preventing the front seat air bag from deploying as intended.

The fix: Dealers will repair the connection, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning August 27, 2024.

Body & structure, Exterior lights Vehicle recall #24V918000 · 2024 · 2,135 vehicles

Why it matters: The incorrect reverse lights May have reduced visibility, and not alert pedestrians and other drivers that the vehicle is backing up, increasing the risk of a crash.
