Seat belts Vehicle recall #22V523000 · 2022 · 4,927 vehicles
What's wrong: The driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioners May be damaged, which can cause the seat belts to not properly restrain occupants.
Why it matters: Improperly restrained occupants have an increased risk of injury during a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the front seat belt assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 16, 2022.
Equipment, Backup camera Vehicle recall #25V016000 · 2025 · 28,370 vehicles
What's wrong: The touchscreen in the center console May go blank at vehicle startup, resulting in the rearview camera image not displaying as intended. 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 camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the touchscreen software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 3, 2025.
Electrical Vehicle recall #26V599000 · 2026 · 23,677 vehicles
What's wrong: The dc-dc converter May malfunction due to an electrical overload that can occur during high power demand. Additionally, a software error can cause the dc-dc converter to stop functioning at vehicle start-up under certain circumstances. Failure of the dc-dc converter will result in the loss of 12-volt system charging and can lead to complete loss of drive power and exterior lighting.
Why it matters: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed November 13, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available.
