Also covered under recall 22V720000 for 226 vehicles, the digital instrument cluster does not illuminate critical "BRAKE" and "ABS" warning lights under fault conditions. This noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards creates a risk of undetected brake system failures. The manufacturer will perform a software update at no cost.
