Recalls
3 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Stability control Vehicle recall #22V239000 · 2022 · 458,110 vehicles
What's wrong: The skid control ECU software May not turn on the vehicle stability control (vsc) system when the vehicle is restarted after the driver has disabled the vsc system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 126, "electronic stability control systems."
Why it matters: Driving with a deactivated stability control system increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the skid control ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 27, 2022.
Suspension, Body & structure Vehicle recall #22V238000 · 2022 · 4,215 vehicles
What's wrong: Missing spot-welds between the body panels and the front shock absorber mounting areas May cause the front shock absorber to separate from the mounting area.
Why it matters: A separated shock absorber can cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will add welds to body panels or replace the body panels where welds have failed, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 10, 2022.
Electrical Vehicle recall #23V478000 · 2023 · 43,442 vehicles
What's wrong: The electric current rectifying module contained within the dc-dc converter May have been damaged during production, which can result in an electrical short-circuit.
Why it matters: A short circuit can cause the dc-dc converter to overheat, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
The fix: Owners are advised not to charge their vehicles when the ambient air temperature is below or expected to drop below 41 degrees fahrenheit (5 degrees celsius). Dealers will replace the dc-dc converter, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 29, 2023.
