Known issues on the 2017 3. The federal record holds 16 recalls for the 2017 3. On certain cars the low beam headlights might be set too bright, above the permitted output, and could dazzle oncoming drivers; at the time of the notice the remedy was still being developed. Certain cars also had a tire pressure warning light that could switch off between drives, so a low tire might go unflagged; a software update kept the light on. Owners lodged 26 complaints, spread across forward collision avoidance at 8, air bags at 7, seat belts at 6 and seats at 6; 1 complaint reported a crash and 1 an injury. Headlamp, tire pressure and restraint systems are served by wiring diagrams, diagnostics, procedures and specifications.
