What this recall means for you

This recall covers certain 2024 and 2025 Storyteller Overland MODE XO vehicles. The seat assembly's floor mounting system may have been improperly welded, so the seat can loosen or come loose from the floor. The vehicles also do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 207 for seating systems.

A loose or detached seat assembly increases the risk of injury to occupants. If you own one of these vehicles, check whether it is affected by entering your VIN at NHTSA's recall lookup site, and check the second-row seats for any looseness.

The repair is free. Authorized dealers will inspect and replace the second-row seat mounting brackets and fasteners as necessary. Owner notification letters were mailed March 24, 2025. You can also contact Storyteller customer service at 1-888-999-7442.
