Karma Revero Recall 19V408: Front Door Bar May Split, Weakening Side-Impact Protection

NHTSA campaign 19V408, reported May 31, 2019, 295 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some 2018 Karma Revero vehicles may have a split in the upper intrusion bar inside the front left door. The split metal can weaken the vehicle's structure, so these vehicles do not fully meet federal side-impact protection requirements (FMVSS 214).

If the bar is compromised, the vehicle may offer reduced protection in a side impact, which increases the risk of injury to occupants.

Karma will notify owners. Dealers will inspect all front doors and replace them as necessary, at no cost to you. To learn more, contact Karma customer service at 1-855-288-6109 and reference recall number RC-19-70-01. You can also check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
