Faraday Future is recalling 11 2023 FF-91 Alliance vehicles because a software error can keep the air bag malfunction warning light from turning on when the Airbag Control Unit detects a fault.

What's wrong?
The iHub module on the 2023 Faraday Future FF-91 Alliance is the information gateway that passes vehicle data between control systems and the driver display. One of its jobs is to receive air bag fault information from the Airbag Control Unit, or ACU, which monitors the supplemental restraint system. If that system detects a fault, the air bag malfunction warning light is supposed to turn on.
On affected vehicles, the iHub software does not correctly handle a loss of communication with the ACU. When that communication drops, the display does not show the air bag malfunction indicator even though the air bag system has a fault condition. The revised iHub software is designed to read that loss-of-communication data and show the fault to the driver.
The warning sign is the missing warning light itself. If this fault occurs, the air bag malfunction indicator will not illuminate to tell the driver that the system needs attention.
Who's affected?
The air bag warning lamp and electrical software concerns both trace to the same Information Gateway.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
When the air bag malfunction indicator does not light for a system fault, the driver loses a key warning that the air bags need attention. That missing warning can increase the risk of injury during a crash because the deployment problem is not shown before the crash. Schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Faraday Future dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023 Faraday Future FF-91 Alliance is included in this recall.
- Contact Faraday Future customer service at 1-800-228-7702 to confirm the free OTA iHUB software update for recall number 24V173.
- Install the free OTA iHUB software update that fixes the air bag malfunction warning-light software error.
- Treat any air bag or SRS message as a service issue until the update is complete.
What happens at the repair
Faraday Future deploys the recall fix as an over-the-air iHUB module software update, so the repair is a software update rather than a parts replacement at the dealer. The update is free. If service support is needed, a Faraday Future technician can confirm that the iHUB module software received the recall update and that the air bag malfunction warning light function is covered by the corrected software. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because all covered vehicles are under warranty. Ask Faraday Future customer service how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
