What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (improper welding of seat brackets) that could lead to a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Bugatti is recalling certain 2017-2018 Chiron vehicles due to a defect in the front seat recliner brackets. The brackets may not be welded properly, which can cause the back of the seat to move unexpectedly. This movement affects the driver's seating position.

If the driver's seating position changes unexpectedly, it could increase the risk of a crash. The recall began on December 7, 2017.

Bugatti will notify owners, and service centers will inspect the welds on the recliner brackets for both seats. Service centers will replace the seat assembly, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Bugatti customer service at 1-805-557-1050 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
