The controversy began when the U.S. federal government announced a recall, citing issues with trim panels that could detach while in motion.

The vehicle’s nearly 7,000-pound weight and over 2.2-meter width require special licensing, while its sharp stainless steel edges violate pedestrian safety rules.
