Chrysler is recalling the 2025 Pacifica PHEV minivan because one of the brake caliper brackets may be loss, possibly causing loss of control. Other recalls ranged from the seemingly trivial (incorrect labels on the Nissan Kicks and Cadillac Lyriq) to the serious. 2019-20 Ford Transit Connects may overheat and 2018-20 Ford Expeditions/Lincoln Navigator seat belts … Read more
Once again Ford has a fire-related recall, this time on the 2020-22 Escape and 2021-23 Bronco Sport; cracked fuel injectors may cause a gasoline-fed fire. Around 34,000 vehicles sold in the United States are being recalled, presumably along with others around the world. This recall is only for vehicles fixed under one of two earlier … Read more
Ford is again dominating the recall lists, though they are not alone. The 2023 Ford F-250 and F-350 front windows may fail to reverse direction, while 2021-24 Mavericks and Bronco Sports may stall due to an undetected low battery. Rear view camera problems afflict the 2021-22 Edge, as well as the 2020-23 Explorer and Lincoln … Read more
Today’s NHTSA recall list contains slim pickings for cars, though RVs are, as always, quite well represented. A variety of GM vehicles may lock of their wheels when the transmission is damaged; all are from 2019-22—the Cadillac CT4, CT5, and CT6, and the Camaro. The 2023 Mercedes EQE’s wheel rim inserts may “detach” or, dare … Read more
This week, the NHTSA announced numerous Ford recalls and none from Stellantis or General Motors. The 2015-17 Lincoln Navigator’s exterior mirror lights may cause fires, while Ford Mavericks may have dark instrument panels (2022-23), have the brake lights go on when they should not (2022), or lose power because their battery voltage dropped (2022). In … Read more
There were many recalls on the NHTSA’s weekly roundup today; but first, one from the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2021-22 Grand Cherokee L. On these SUVs,
The NHTSA announced two Toyota recalls last week, one for leaking rear brake hoses on the 2024-25 Tacoma and one for damaged second-row seat belts on the 2025 Camry Hybrid, 2025 Lexus NX, and 2024-25 Lexus RX. In addition, those who had Vantage Mobility convert their 2023-24 Siennas may not have enough welds on the … Read more
Ford had two recalls this week, one for loose transmission crossmember bolts on around 260 2025 Explorer/Aviators, and one for using the wrong rack in the steering gear of three 2024 F-150s. Honda had the same number of recalls, one for missing rearview camera images on the 2025 Acura MDX, and one for software-based stalls … Read more
GM and Stellantis dominated last week’s recall list. First up is side-curtain airbags which may throw sharp metal fragments at passengers, on both the left and right; only 6,066 vehicles might be affected, all made from December 6, 2015, through October 19, 2019 (there are specific dates for each type of truck in this file). … Read more
Over the last few months, it seems that just about every automaker has recalled cars due to rear-view camera failures—as though an outbreak of camera flu has been making the rounds. This week, it’s Tesla’s and Aston Martin’s turn. Tesla recalled the 2023-25 X and Y, and the 2024-25 3 and S, while Aston Martin … Read more
Most of the recalls this week came from Ford, which like seemingly every automaker in the world is recalling cars for rear-view camera images that don’t show up. This week, it’s Ford’s turn with the 2019 Fiesta, Flex, and Lincoln MKT, and Land Rover’s turn with the 2022-23 Range Rover. Ford adds to that with … Read more
Jeep has recalled two sets of vehicles for two different problems. 2021-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokees may have front seat airbags that do not work in a crash, because of an improperly secured connector. The solution is obvious, and every affected vehicle has already been fixed, making the paperwork seem superfluous; and only 14 vehicles sold … Read more
Braun, an aftermarket company, is recalling 44 Chrysler minivans sold in the United States under the Pacifica and Voyager names because the seat limiter may not have been included, so that owners may be too close to the airbags. Some more minivans outside the US are likely recalled as well. This only affects minivans which … Read more
While Carlos Tavares may have resigned yesterday, according to one Italian rumor taking with him an absolutely massive bonus, that does not change the weekly list of recalls, which includes one Stellantis note (backup cameras not working on 2023-24 Grecals and 2024 GranTurismos) along with some recalls to other cars which may be worrying to … Read more
Jeep had two more recalls this week, both affecting 2024 models. The Jeep Wrangler can have inoperative trailer lighting, but only 34 vehicles in the US (and presumably a handful elsewhere in the world) are affected. This only affects vehicles made from January 24 through March 18, 2024, with the tow package but with the … Read more
Ford and GM dominated the recall list this week, though they were not alone. Ford had incorrect airbag deployments on the 2024-25 Escape, oil leaks from a badly installed engine cup plug on the 2024 Expedition/Navigator and 2024-25 F-150, and missing airbag warning labels on a wide variety of vehicles from 2018 through 2025.
