Known issues on the 2023 S. Steering tops the complaint list for the 2023 S with 20 of 112, followed by forward collision avoidance at 16 and the electrical system at 9, and 8 complaints reported a crash. The federal record holds 13 recalls for the year. Certain cars could suffer a torn driver air bag during deployment, reducing the protection it gives; a replacement assembly was the fix. Certain cars could also fail to register that the hood had been left unlatched after opening, so it might rise fully while driving. The steering system, restraint wiring and latch sensing are addressed through procedures, specifications, wiring diagrams and diagnostics.
