Known issues on the 2021 CT4. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the roof rail side-curtain air bags, which may not have been installed correctly and can deploy improperly in a crash. The second covers the communications gateway module, which can incorrectly process a loss of communication with the sensing diagnostic module and cause the air bag malfunction indicator light to fail to warn the driver of a problem. The third covers the daytime running light software, which may not deactivate when the headlights are on, producing glare that reduces visibility. The fourth covers the 10-speed automatic transmission, which can become internally damaged and cause the wheels to lock up while driving. Owners have filed 7 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From an air bag system fault to a transmission wheel-lockup diagnosis or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 CT4.
