Instrument Cluster Malfunction

Recalls indicate potential software glitches causing the instrument cluster to display blank screens or fail to show critical information like speed and warning lights. This can lead to a driver's unawareness of vehicle conditions. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $1,000.

Rearview Camera Failure

A significant number of recalls address issues where the rearview camera image may freeze or go blank, particularly when shifting into reverse. This impacts rear visibility and increases the risk of accidents. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $700.

Seat Belt Anchor Installation

Recalls have been issued for the third-row center seat belt anchor potentially being installed at an incorrect angle, which could compromise its ability to restrain an occupant properly during a crash. Estimated repair cost: $100 - $300.
