Five recalls address defects affecting seat belts, steering, windshield defrosting, and engine components. These issues involve critical safety and operational systems that require dealer inspection and repair.

• Seat belts. NHTSA recall 23V717000 affects 3,841 vehicles. An extra spacer added during assembly may create an unsecured connection between the seat and seat belt tether and buckle. This defect risks occupant injury in a crash. Dealers will inspect and remove the spacer and replace bolts if needed at no cost.
• Steering gear. Recall 22V547000 impacts 47,500 vehicles including the W900. Incorrect assembly can cause the steering gears to fracture, risking loss of steering control and a crash. Dealers will inspect serial numbers and replace defective gears free of charge.
• HVAC controls. Under recall 21V546000 for 6,916 affected units, insufficient soldering between the potentiometer and PCB board may cause windshield defrost failure. This can reduce driver visibility and increase crash risk. Dealers will replace the HVAC control head at no cost.
• Engine flywheel. Recall 21V080000 covers 132 vehicles with a Cummins X15 engine. Improperly torqued flywheel capscrews may allow detachment, causing loss of power and ejection of driveline parts, increasing crash and injury risk. Dealers will retorque capscrews and inspect or repair the engine free of charge.
