Recalls

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

Communication, Electrical Vehicle recall #21V058000 · 2021 · 1,292,258 vehicles

What's wrong: Please refer to the part 573 report for specific vehicle model details. The software design of the communication module May fail to communicate the correct vehicle location for the emergency call system (ecall) in the event of a crash.

Why it matters: Failure of the ecall system May result in emergency responders being dispatched to the wrong location, increasing the risk of injury following a crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and the communication module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (ota) update, free of charge. The recall began March 12, 2021.

Backup camera Vehicle recall #22V232000 · 2022 · 126,443 vehicles

What's wrong: Please refer to mbusa's recall report for specific vehicle model details. The rearview camera May not display the rearview image due to a software error. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "rear visibility."

Why it matters: An inoperable rearview camera display reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 15, 2022.
