The Ineos Grenadier, an SUV built for off-road enthusiasts, is facing a recall due to a problematic door mechanism. The issue? According to CarScoops, it's a faulty door button. During manufacturing, these buttons received an insufficient grease coating. This oversight results in buttons that stick and prevent door latches from fully engaging, leaving the doors unlocked and posing significant safety risks.
While the Ineos Grenadier promises thrilling adventures, it comes with a few quirks:
- Steering Concerns: During the SUV of the Year evaluations, judges noted the Grenadier's unusually loose steering, making it ill-suited for casual driving.
- Styling Nostalgia: Although its resto-mod design is nostalgic, the SUV resembles a patchwork of spare parts—charming for some, but potentially bothersome over time.
For Grenadier owners, Ineos assures that notifications will be sent out by March 31, 2025, if their vehicle is affected. Owners are encouraged to contact their dealer promptly for a free repair. While there is no metaphorical medal of bravery included, ensuring your door remains firmly shut is a worthy incentive.
