Details

What's wrong: The infotainment control unit may reset while the vehicle is in motion and cause the instrument panel display to go blank.

Why it matters: An instrument panel display that fails to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer and warning lights, increases the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will update the infotainment control unit software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 29, 2026. Mbusa's number for this recall is 2026050004.
