Details

What's wrong: The obstacle detection software for the driver seat may malfunction at low speeds, resulting in the seat reversing unexpectedly while driving.

Why it matters: Unexpected movement of the driver’s seat may affect the driver’s ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: The seat control module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (ota) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 13, 2026.
