Exterior lights Vehicle recall #25V511000 · 2025 · 136 vehicles
What's wrong: The front headlights May have missing headlight aim markings, which can result in improperly aimed headlights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: Incorrectly aimed headlights can reduce driver visibility or create a glare for oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the headlights as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 3, 2025.
Latches & locks Vehicle recall #26V481000 · 2026 · 310,667 vehicles
What's wrong: Please refer to mbusa's recall report for specific model information. The micro-switch in the driver's door lock May corrode and fail to detect an open door, preventing the electronic parking brake or "auto-park" feature from engaging automatically. This May result in a vehicle rollaway.
Why it matters: A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash or injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the driver's door lock, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 18, 2026. This will be a phased campaign, with the remedy becoming available in different phases based on model and model years.
