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 (split intrusion bar) that compromises side-impact protection, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.
Plain-English summary
Karma Automotive LLC is recalling certain 2018 Karma Revero vehicles. The recall involves 295 vehicles where the upper intrusion bar within the front left door may be split. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, "Side Impact Protection."
The split metal may compromise the vehicle's structural strength, which reduces side-impact protection and increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Karma will notify owners, and dealers will inspect all front doors and replace them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 1, 2019. Owners may contact Karma customer service at 1-855-288-6109 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
