Body & structure Vehicle recall #25V379000 · 2025 · 92,851 vehicles
What's wrong: In certain crash scenarios, where the rear occupant's head contacts the c-pillar, the pillar May not absorb an adequate amount of the impact. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 201, "occupant protection in interior impact."
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, insufficient impact protection can increase the risk of injury.

What's wrong: Please refer to mbusa's recall report for specific model information.

This May result in a vehicle rollaway.
Why it matters: A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash or injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the driver's door lock, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 18, 2026. This will be a phased campaign, with the remedy becoming available in different phases based on model and model years.
