There are 99 recalls covering a range of vehicle systems, including service brakes, exterior lighting components, electrical systems, tires, and steering linkages. Many recalls involve problems with the rear Power Distribution Module affecting exterior lights. Other recalls address brake caliper mounting bolt tightness, tire valve stem damage, and steering component fasteners.
Recalls- Brake caliper mounting bolts. Recall 19V431000 and 18V703000 affect small groups and larger numbers of vehicles where brake caliper mounting bolts may be loose, reducing brake effectiveness and increasing crash risk. Repairs involve inspection and tightening of bolts at no charge.
- Exterior lighting system. Multiple recalls including 20V404000, 18V582000, and 21V00H000 involve damage or internal faults in the rear Power Distribution Module. This can cause rear marker lights, brake lights, or turn signals to stop functioning, increasing crash risk. Dealers will replace the PDM or install a secondary fused harness free of charge. Owners receive notifications and interim remedies where applicable.
- Tire valve stems. Recalls 21V921000 and 20V529000 address damage to the tire valve stem extensions on inner wheels due to contact with outer wheel rims, potentially causing loss of tire pressure and crash risk. Dealers will inspect, adjust, or remove valve stem extensions free of charge. Prior remedies under related recalls must be updated.
- Instrument panel brightness. Recall 20V485000 involves the inability to adjust instrument panel brightness, causing glare that could reduce nighttime visibility. Dealers will update software and processors free of charge.
- Steering and tie rod arm bolts. Recall 18V913000 addresses loose steering and tie rod arm bolts that might separate, risking loss of vehicle control. Dealers will inspect and tighten bolts or replace fasteners for free.
Owners with repeated repairs, safety-related defects, or unresolved recall concerns may have rights under their state lemon laws and should seek guidance accordingly.
