Recalls

6 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Exterior lights Vehicle recall #25V174000 · 2025 · 3,919 vehicles

What's wrong: The headlight vertical aim adjustment is not accessible, and the horizontal aim adjustment is not covered as intended. As a result, the headlights May not be able to be adjusted properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Why it matters: Incorrectly adjusted headlights can reduce driver visibility or create a glare for oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will remove the plugs from the vertical aim and install plugs on the horizontal aim, as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 3, 2025.

Body & structure Vehicle recall #25V575000 · 2025 · 8 vehicles

What's wrong: The vehicles are equipped with an incorrect cross car beam in the instrument panel. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "occupant crash protection."

Why it matters: An incorrect cross beam May not adequately protect occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dealers will replace the cross beam, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 16, 2025.

Transmission & drivetrain Vehicle recall #25V574000 · 2025 · 75 vehicles

What's wrong: An incorrectly installed spring May cause the loss of the park function when the vehicle’s gear selector is placed in the park (p) position, which can result in a vehicle rollaway.

Why it matters: A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash.

Electrical Vehicle recall #26V262000 · 2026 · 20,271 vehicles
