- Emergency call system software. Recall 21V058000 involves 1,292,258 vehicles. The communication module software might fail to send the correct location during emergencies.

- Rear passenger door lock. Recall 17V816000 covers 8,700 vehicles. The driver-side rear door may show as locked when it is not, allowing unintended opening. This fails FMVSS 206 requirements and raises injury risk. Dealers will inspect and replace the door lock as necessary free of charge.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues should consider their rights under state lemon laws. Safety defects and multiple recalls may qualify them for further legal protections.
