2 recalls covering model years 2026. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
A part inside the big battery pack that powers these electric vehicles may not have been fastened down properly. If it comes loose, it can shift around and damage the battery, and a damaged battery can catch fire. You cannot see or hear this problem from the driver's seat, so there is no warning sign to watch for. Your dealer will replace the entire high-voltage battery pack at no cost to you.
The radio in these vehicles was not set to the right status at the factory, so it never downloaded the electronic owner's manual that is meant to live on the dashboard screen. Nothing mechanical is wrong with the vehicle. The concern is that without the manual, owners may not find instructions for using the vehicle safely — including airbag and seating information — and could be hurt in a crash as a result. A dealer resets the radio so the manual downloads automatically.
