Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the brakes cover the 2023 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The transmission may not shift into the selected gear, allowing the vehicle to roll away while in Drive or Reverse.
The brake module software may cause an unexpected reduction in regenerative braking, decreasing the braking performance.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 5 of 126 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
