Details

What's wrong: The rear headrests may be incorrectly mounted to the seatbacks.

Why it matters: Incorrectly mounted headrests could move or detach from the seat during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the rear seatback guide bushings and replace them if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 16, 2021.
