The defect
Karma Automotive (Karma) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Revero GS-6, Revero GS-6s, Revero GS-6L, Revero GTS, and Revero GT vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associate Equipment."
The risk
Turn signals that do not function properly may fail to indicate the driver's intention to change vehicle direction, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will install new headlights with updated software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 13, 2025. Owners may contact Karma customer service at 1-855-288-6109.
