2019 FCCC XBR Complaints and Recall Information
The 2019 FCCC XBR has 0 complaints and 76 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to exterior lighting and electrical system malfunctions, particularly involving the rear mounted Power Distribution Module. There are no customer complaints registered despite the volume of recalls.
There are 76 recalls affecting various systems, primarily the electrical system controlling exterior lights and brake components. The recalls cover potential failures that could reduce vehicle visibility and braking effectiveness.
- Exterior lighting defects. Multiple recalls address damage to the rear Power Distribution Module which results in rear marker lights, brake lights, or turn signals not functioning, increasing crash risk.
- Electrical system malfunctions. Damage or internal faults in the Power Distribution Module can cause lighting failures and are subject to ongoing recall remedies.
- Brake system concerns. Brake caliper mounting bolts may be insufficiently tightened, potentially reducing brake effectiveness and raising crash risk.
- Tire valve issues. Valve stem extensions for inner wheels may contact outer wheel rims causing damage and loss of tire pressure, increasing crash risk.
Each recall typically involves dealer repairs or component replacements free of charge. Recall numbers 20V404000 and 21V00H000 repeatedly cover rear lighting and electrical issues related to the Power Distribution Module for tens of thousands of vehicles. Repair remedies include replacing or installing a secondary fused harness for these modules. Other recalls address brake caliper bolts and tire valve stems with inspections and part removals or tightenings.
- Rear lighting and electrical recalls (20V404000, 21V00H000, 18V582000). Affecting 16,776 to 24,869 vehicles, these recalls address damage in the rear mounted Power Distribution Module causing brake lights, turn signals, or marker lights not to work. The risk includes crashes from reduced visibility. Dealers replace the module or add a secondary fused harness at no cost. Owner notifications were issued between 2018 and 2022.
- Brake caliper mounting bolts (20V127000, 18V353000). Between 2,585 and 8,741 vehicles have bolts that may loosen, reducing braking performance. Dealers inspect and tighten bolts free of charge. Recall notices began in 2018 and 2020.
- Tire valve stem extension (21V921000). This recall covers 16,676 vehicles where the inner wheel valve stem extension may sustain damage from contact with the outer rim, causing tire pressure loss and crash risk. Dealers remove valve stem extensions and stabilizers for free. Notifications were mailed in early 2022.
Owners who face repeated repairs or unresolved defects related to these recalls may have rights under their state lemon law. Cases involving ongoing safety system malfunctions or unresolved recall remedies should be reviewed for potential consumer protection options.
