American Stellantis Marques had no recalls in the past week, but Ford managed to sell 2023 F-150s, Expeditions, and Navigators without heat-treated front axle pinions, and have inactive defoggers in 2023 Transits.
Nissan’s problem sounds a bit more comical—steering wheels which may come off the steering columns (2023 Ariya), while 2023 Mazda CX-30s could drop their trailer harnesses. In the child protection world, 2023 Land Rover Defenders’ third-row child seats could have low strength, while 2021-23 Ferrari SF90s could have their passenger airbags hitting child seats.
Rounding up the week, 2022-23 Toyota Tundra tonneau covers could come off; Lordstown Endurance parking brakes could fail; 2021-23 Kia K5 side curtain airbags might not deploy properly; and, oddly enough, 2012-13 Hyundai Veloster parking sensors may short-circuit, causing fires.
