Answered from the register this site holds. NHTSA is the record to act on.
This is an independent copy of the official notice, kept so you can see what changed. CarsMultiverse is not a safety authority: to act on this recall, use the authority’s own version at NHTSA, or the official register for your country (linked at the foot of this page).
What the authority says can happen if this is not fixed: “The operator may be unaware of a system malfunction or the presence of excessive methane levels, increasing the risk of injury or fire.”
We have not read the wording of this notice, so we cannot tell you whether it has been edited.
This site re-reads the most recent American campaigns every few hours and keeps every version. Campaign 21V00N000 sits outside that set, so there is no earlier version here to compare against. We would rather say that than imply a check we did not make.
