NHTSA recall 23V885000

What's wrong: During vehicle start-up, the artificial sound generator control unit may experience a fault and fail to generate the external pedestrian warning sound. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles."

Why it matters: Without external warning sounds, pedestrians may be unaware of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dealers will update the external artificial sound generator software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 16, 2024.
