What’s wrong with it?
The split metal may compromise the vehicle’s strength reducing the side-impact protection and increasing the risk of injury.
Karma Automotive (Karma) is recalling certain 2018 Karma Revero vehicles.
The upper intrusion bar within the front left door may be split.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, “Side Impact Protection.”
