Recalls

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

Suspension, Body & structure Vehicle recall #22V238000 · 2022 · 4,215 vehicles

What's wrong: Missing spot-welds between the body panels and the front shock absorber mounting areas May cause the front shock absorber to separate from the mounting area.

Why it matters: A separated shock absorber can cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will add welds to body panels or replace the body panels where welds have failed, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 10, 2022.

Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #22V661000 · 2022 · 83,725 vehicles

What's wrong: The skid control ECU within the brake actuator assembly May falsely detect an overcurrent condition of the electronic parking brake (epb) actuator and enter a failsafe mode which prevents the epb from being engaged. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "light vehicle brake systems."

Why it matters: An electronic parking brake that cannot be engaged while in "park," May result in a vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will reprogram the skid control ECU, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 1, 2022.
