What is the issue?

In the course of routine quality inspection, it was determined that the upper intrusion bar in the front left door of certain 2018 MY Karma Revero vehicles may contain a segment of split metal and, as a result, may not be compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

In the event of a crash, if the left front door intrusion bars do not perform as designed due to a split in the metal, , there is an increased risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

 

What will we do?

Karma will inspect all front doors on your vehicle at a Karma authorized repair center. Any front doors found containing an affected upper intrusion bar will be replaced.  Both the inspection and, if necessary, the repair will take place at a Karma authorized repair center, and will be provided free of charge. The process of inspection of the front doors will take approximately one (1) hour total.  If necessary, the process of replacing the front doors of the affected vehicles will take approximately six (6) hours per door.  Please contact your Karma authorized service provider for further details.

 

What should you do?

As always, Karma recommends that all vehicle occupants fasten their safety belts before driving and keep them fastened for the duration of the travel.

Please contact your Karma authorized service provider without delay to schedule this recall repair.  For your convenience, you can also visit www.karmaautomotive.comand click on the “Locator” link to locate a dealer near you and schedule this service.
