- Instrument cluster chime failure. The audible chime may fail to activate if the driver has not buckled their seat belt, causing non-compliance with FMVSS 208. (NHTSA 24V096000)
- Seat belt warning defect. Similar to the chime issue, seat belt warnings do not activate on certain vehicles, increasing risk during crashes. (NHTSA 24V096000)
- Loose front frame screw. One 2018 vehicle was recalled due to a potentially loose screw fastening the front frame support, compromising crash protection. The vehicle was advised not to be driven until repaired. (NHTSA 22V198000)
- ESC software malfunction. Electronic Stability Control may stay in Handling Mode after ignition, without defaulting to normal mode, which could degrade ESC effectiveness and increase crash risk. (NHTSA 20V732000)
- Side air bag heat shield installation error. Incorrect installation of the heat shield on the gas generator may reduce air bag performance during side impacts. (NHTSA 18V420000)
- Front seat recliner weld problem. Some front seat recliner brackets may lack proper welding, causing unexpected seat movement and potentially affecting driver control. (NHTSA 17V764000)
Owners affected by multiple recalls involving critical safety components may have rights under their state lemon law. Those who face repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues should consider consulting legal resources related to consumer protection and lemon law statutes.

Bugatti (Bugatti) is recalling certain 2017-2020 Chiron, 2018-2020 Chiron Sport and 2020-2021 DIVO vehicles.
