Summary

Karma Automotive LLC (Karma) is recalling certain 2018 Revero vehicles. In the event of a crash, the side curtain/head protection air bags may partially detach from the inflator during air bag deployment, affecting the performance of the air bags.

Remedy

Karma will notify owners, and dealers will install new side curtain/head protection air bags that have an additional clamp on the air bag to secure it to the inflator, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 17, 2018. Owners may contact Karma customer service at 1-855-288-6109. Karma’s number for this recall is RC-18-84-01.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

April 2018

<CUSTOMER NAME>

<CUSTOMER CITY STATE ZIPCODE>

 

This notice applies to your vehicle: <VIN>

NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V114

Subject: Compliance Recall Campaign RC-18-84-01 – Head-protection Side Airbags (HSABs) Certain 2018 Model Year Karma Revero

 

Dear Karma Owner,

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Karma has decided that certain 2018 model year Karma Revero vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 226 – Ejection Mitigation. Our records show that you are the owner of a vehicle affected by this action.

 

What is the issue?

Testing revealed an issue with the curtain shield air bags also known as head-protection side airbags (HSABs).  This testing found that a disengagement of the airbag rear connection point from the inflator during deployment compromises the effectiveness of the air bag’s protective capacity.  If the air bags are not fully connected to the inflator, the air bags may not inflate properly, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

 

What will we do?

To address the problem, Karma dealers and service providers will install new curtain side airbags/head- protection side airbags that have an additional 3rd clamp on the curtain shield airbag to inflator housing at no cost.  It will take approximately 3 hours for the repair, but the vehicle may need to be at the repair facility for a longer period of time.   The addition of the 3rd clamp improves the cushion attachment to the inflator housing.

 

What should you do?

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

Lease vehicles and address changes

If you are the lessor and registered owner of the vehicle identified in this action, the law requires you to forward this letter immediately via first-class mail to the lessee within ten (10) days of receipt. If you have changed your address or sold the vehicle, please fill out the enclosed prepaid Owner Reply card and mail it to us so we can update our records.

 

Can we assist you further?

Client Services by calling Toll Free at 1-855-288-6109 from 8 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time, Monday through

Checking your vehicle for open Recalls and Service Campaigns
