Details

What's wrong: Please see the recall report for a complete list of models. Software in the acoustic vehicle alerting system (avas) may cause an incorrect external pedestrian warning sound while reversing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "minimum sound requirements for hybrid electric vehicles."

Why it matters: A vehicle that makes an incorrect sound may fail to alert pedestrians of a reversing vehicle, increasing the risk of crash.

The fix: Dealers will update the avas software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 1, 2025.
