Defect: Bugatti is recalling certain 2016-2023 Bugatti Chiron vehicles. The audible chime may not activate when the vehicle starts, and the driver has not buckled their seat belt.

Consequence: The driver may be unaware that their seat belt is not fastened, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
