The problem
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. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."
The risk
If the air bag 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.
The fix
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.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
