Recalls- Seat belt retractors. NHTSA recall 21V554000 affects 21,537 vehicles. The passenger seat belt automatic locking retractor may release webbing early, compromising occupant restraint. This increases injury risk during a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace retractors if needed free of charge. Owner notifications were sent in September 2021.
- Air bag control unit. NHTSA recall 20V283000 covers 76 vehicles. A defective rollover sensor in the air bag control unit may prevent head air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and other safety systems from activating in a rollover. This raises injury risk. Dealers will replace the control unit at no cost. Notification began in July 2020.
Owners with unresolved safety defects or repeated repairs related to recalls may want to explore their rights under applicable lemon laws. Consulting a qualified attorney could clarify potential remedies based on individual circumstances.
