Two companies coincidentally reported steering column issues. Ford recalled 2023 Ford F-250 through F450 trucks for loose or missing bolts, while Jeep recalled 2021-23 Grand Cherokees due to incorrectly made ThyssenKrupp steering columns. The problem can cause drivers to lose control.
In other news, Fox Factory recalled its 2021-23 modifications to GM, Ford, Ram, and Jeep pickups due to corrosion on remote-control circuit boards. VinFast, the Vietnamese automaker trying to make a name for itself with subscription-based EVs, had its first recall, for blank telematics screens. Ford recalled 2021-23 Broncos because the seat belt latch is difficult to reach. Mercedes had to recall its 2022 EQS and 2023 S-series to fix stability control software errors; and Nissan had to recall the 2023 Leaf due to corrosion in the brake lines.
