Steering Vehicle recall #22V189000 · 2022 · 8,396 vehicles
What's wrong: Due to a software error in the hand detection control unit, the hands-off detection might not detect when the driver's hands are away from the steering wheel when using the active distance assist distronic system.
Why it matters: Deactivated hands-off detection will prevent distronic system features from functioning, including warnings to grab the steering wheel and calling first responders as part of the active emergency stop assist, which can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
The fix: Dealers will update the hand detection control unit software for the distronic system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 6, 2022.
