Karma Revero Recalls

The Karma Revero has 9 recalls covering the 2018-2020 model years, with the most serious being multiple 2018 defects affecting side curtain airbags and door structure that reduce crash protection, including airbags that can fail to deploy in a rollover and a front driver's door with a split intrusion bar that weakens side-impact resistance.

The 2018 model year carries the bulk of the recall activity. On the airbag side, two separate issues affect the side curtain system: the connection between the curtain airbags and their inflators can come apart during deployment, causing the bags to inflate poorly and reducing ejection protection in a crash, and a rollover sensor system that was not enabled means the curtain airbags may not deploy at all during a rollover. On the structural side, the upper intrusion bar inside the front left door can be split, reducing the door's ability to protect the driver in a side impact. There is also a driver's side exterior mirror issue on 2018 vehicles where convex glass was installed instead of flat glass, making following vehicles and objects appear farther away than they actually are and reducing the driver's ability to judge distances accurately.

The 2020 model year has one recall involving front turn signals that can fail to activate when switched on. The failure does trigger a warning light and an abnormal flash rate on the instrument cluster, so the driver gets a visible indication, but other road users lose the directional signal.
