Known issues on the 2014 Spark EV. Three recalls sit on the federal record. Two of them address the same danger: the front air bags and the seat belt pretensioners may fail to fire in a crash that calls for them, leaving the front occupants unprotected at the moment it counts. The third covers a secondary hood latch that corrodes at its pivot, so a hood not held by the primary catch can lift while the car is moving. Complaints total 168, with 40 on the power train, 35 on the electrical system and 21 on the engine.
