Visibility (wipers, glass) Vehicle recall #25V730000 · 2025 · 56,841 vehicles
What's wrong: The windshield glass May have visible air bubbles, which can obscure the driver's visibility. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 205, "glazing materials."
Why it matters: Reduced visibility while driving can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the windshield as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 6, 2025.
Engine Vehicle recall #25V828000 · 2025 · 6 vehicles
What's wrong: The cylinder head May have been improperly manufactured, which can cause the ball plugs to fail, resulting in an oil leak.
Why it matters: An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components increases the risk of a fire. In addition, the loss of oil can result in engine seizure and loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the cylinder head assembly, free of charge. All affected vehicles are still within dealership inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed.
Seat belts Vehicle recall #25V862000 · 2025 · 780 vehicles
What's wrong: The seat belt retractors for the left and right rear passenger seats May not be securely fastened.
Why it matters: An improperly secured seat belt retractor May not restrain an occupant as intended, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and secure, or replace the seat belt retractor bolts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 26, 2025.
Transmission & drivetrain Vehicle recall #26V301000 · 2026 · 208 vehicles
What's wrong: The integrated park module May fail to lock into the park position when the driver shifts into park. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 114, "theft protection and rollaway prevention."
Why it matters: A loss of park function can allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: The secondary on board diagnostic module c (sobdmc) software will be updated over-the-air (ota) or by a dealer, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed June 5, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in August 2026.
