NEW YORK, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued multiple recalls last week, including notices for more than 22,000 KIA all-electric EV9 sport utility vehicles, because some seats were missing mounting bolts.

Meanwhile, Volvo is recalling two of its 2023-2024 Volvo C40 electric crossover vehicles because the clamps may be improperly crimped on the driver's side inner far side air bag module (FSAB), which can cause the air bag to deploy improperly, Volvo said in an NHTSA report. Dealers will replace the driver's side inner FSAB, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on Feb. 11, 2025.

In addition, Lamborghini is recalling two of its 2024 Revuelto sports cars because the oil circuit connection flange screws may have been improperly tightened during assembly, which could cause the oil line to leak and increase the risk of a fire, the company said in an NHTSA report.

Polestar Automotive USA is recalling seven of its 2024 Polestar 2 electric vehicles because an inner airbag may not deploy properly. Mercedes-Benz is recalling 17 of its 2025 E 350, E 350 4MATIC and E 450 4MATIC sedans and E450 4MATIC All-Terrain station wagons because the camber strut bracket may have been improperly welded onto the rear axle carrier, possibly resulting in separation of the bracket from the rear axle carrier.

Jaguar Land Rover North America is recalling 34 of its 2019 Jaguar I-PACE electric SUVs vehicles that received an improper interim repair under recall number 24V-633 because the high-voltage battery may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire, according to an NHTSA report.

Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, is recalling 53 of its 2025 Ram 1500 pickups because incorrect headlight module software may cause the headlights to become inoperative, reducing visibility which can cause a vehicle crash, the company said in an NHTSA report. The vehicles also fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards.
