https://carrecalltracker.com/latest/NHTSA vehicle safety recalls explained in plain English. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v571000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v571000/Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000The sticker inside your door that tells you how much weight your vehicle can safely carry shows the wrong numbers. It was added after the truck or SUV was built to account for extra equipment, and the added-weight figure printed on it is inaccurate. If you trust that label when loading people, cargo, or towing gear, you could put more weight in the vehicle than it was designed to handle. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v562000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v562000/Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000The rear coil springs are the big metal springs that hold up the back of your Jeep and soak up bumps. On these vehicles they may have been installed incorrectly at the factory, and a spring can work loose and come off the vehicle while you are driving. Chrysler is replacing the rubber pads the springs sit on. The final fix is not ready yet, so owners are getting a warning letter first and a second letter later. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v559000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v559000/Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000A software error means the tire pressure system may not spot a low tire, and the low-pressure warning light on your dash may not come on when it should. You could drive on an underinflated tire without knowing, which makes the vehicle harder to control and raises the chance of a crash. The fix is a free software update at the dealer. Owner letters are expected to start going out September 29, 2026; until then, check your tire pressures yourself with a gauge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v561000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v561000/Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000A small electrical part inside the brake pedal sensor on these Chrysler minivans may be cracked. That sensor tells the stability control system when you are braking, and a cracked part can shut the system down. Stability control is what quietly steps in to keep the van from sliding or spinning on a wet road or in a sudden swerve. Without it, the van is harder to keep under control. A dealer will inspect the sensor and replace it if needed. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v547000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v547000/Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000Ground wires in the engine bay of some 2024-2026 Mustangs can crack where they connect. These connections complete the electrical circuits for several systems, so a break can shut down the engine's power while you drive, or stop the headlights, windshield washer, air conditioning, or engine cooling fan from working. Ford has told owners about the risk, but the parts to fix it are not ready yet; repair letters are expected around March 2027, and the work is free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v549000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v549000/Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2025-2026 Outlanders and 2026 Outlander PHEVs, the software that runs the dashboard screen was programmed incorrectly. When you shift into reverse, the screen may fail to show the picture from the backup camera. That means you could be backing up with a blank screen instead of a view of what is behind you, making it easier to hit a person, a pet, or something you cannot see out the back window. Dealers reprogram the system. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v545000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v545000/Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000Some Kia EV9 vehicles have a wire or tube routed incorrectly under the front passenger seat. That part of the system is what senses who is sitting there and turns the front passenger airbag off when a child or a child seat is in the seat. Because of the bad routing, it may fail to shut the airbag off. Front airbags open with a lot of force and can hurt a child. This doesn't meet the federal rules for crash protection. Dealers will inspect and replace the sensing mat and tube. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v568000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v568000/Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000Marathon Industries is recalling a single 2025 Ford F-650 SD work truck. The pins that hold the liftgate platform in place can break. If they do, the platform can drop without warning, and anyone standing near it or loading cargo could be hurt. Marathon will work with the equipment supplier to check the platform bushings and hydraulic parts and install new deck pins, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v528000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v528000/Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000The trim piece across the top of the rear window isn't lined up right with the roof, so opening and closing the rear hatch can damage it. A damaged spoiler can break off while you're driving and land in the road, where it becomes a hazard for the cars behind you. Dealers will inspect it and repair or replace it and realign the hatch, free. Note: if your Durango was fixed under an earlier recall, it needs this repair too. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v530000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v530000/Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000Some 2024-2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and GMC Sierra 2500 trucks with the enhanced towing option and the 20-inch accessory wheel and tire package have a sticker listing the wrong rear tire pressure. If you follow it, your rear tires end up underinflated. Worse, the truck's tire pressure warning system will not light up to tell you the tires are low, so you may never notice. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v526000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v526000/Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000The front passenger airbag and the passenger knee airbag may have been installed with the wrong mounting fasteners. If those airbags are not held in place the way they were designed to be, they may not inflate properly in a crash, so they may not protect the person sitting there. Dealers will replace the mounting fasteners at no charge. Nissan expects to mail owner letters on September 25, 2026, and affected VINs became searchable on NHTSA's site on August 17, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v525000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v525000/Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000The joint where the driveshaft meets the rear differential — the parts that send engine power to the rear wheels — can become damaged. If it fails, the vehicle can suddenly lose power to the rear wheels while you are driving. The same damage can also allow the vehicle to roll away on its own when parked if the parking brake is not set. A dealer inspects the connection and applies adhesive or replaces the parts, free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v524000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v524000/Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000The steering spindle — the shaft that links your steering wheel and column to the rest of the steering system — may have been attached incorrectly when the vehicle was built. If that connection comes apart, you could lose the ability to steer. A dealer will inspect the connection and either replace the hardware or replace the spindle and steering column, whichever is needed, at no cost. Owner letters are expected to be mailed October 2, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v510000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v510000/Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000The rear seat belts on the outer seats can get twisted inside the mechanism that pulls the belt back in. When that happens, the belt does not wind up the way it should and may not sit correctly against the person wearing it. A belt in that condition may not hold someone properly in a crash. Dealers will replace the retractor — the spring-loaded reel that takes up the slack in the belt — at no charge to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v514000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v514000/Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000Shock absorbers are the parts that soak up bumps. On these trucks, a metal flange on the front and rear shocks can corrode and break, letting the external oil canister attached to the shock come loose and fall off. A heavy metal part dropping onto the roadway becomes a hazard for your truck and for the drivers behind you. Toyota expects to mail owner notification letters starting September 21, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v511000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v511000/Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2025-2026 Toyota Camry Hybrids, the instrument cluster — the display screen behind the steering wheel — can fail as you start the car. When it fails, the hazard lights, turn signals, seat belt warning, and smart key reminder all stop working. That means other drivers cannot see when you are signaling a turn or warning them of trouble. The vehicles do not meet several federal safety rules. Dealers will update the display software for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v508000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v508000/Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000One or both front turn signals on these trucks and SUVs may not light up and flash when you signal. Drivers ahead of you and at intersections then get no warning that you are about to turn or change lanes. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rule covering lamps and signals. You may not notice the problem from the driver's seat, since the front lamps are hard to see while you are driving. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v513000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v513000/Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000Certain 2026-2027 Volvo VNL and VNR trucks may have a center roof marker light that does not light up. Marker lights are the small lamps across the top of the cab that show other drivers how tall and wide the truck is, especially at night or in bad weather. With one out, the truck is harder to see and judge, and it does not meet the federal lighting rule. Dealers will replace the center roof marker light free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v507000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v507000/Wed, 05 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000The low-beam headlights on these cars put out more light than federal rules allow. The extra brightness is not a problem for you — it is a problem for everyone coming the other way. Drivers facing your car can be dazzled and may not see the road clearly, which could lead to a crash. Tesla has not finished working out a fix yet, and letters to owners are not expected until October 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v500000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v500000/Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000A small screw that locks the handlebars in position on these Honda motorcycles can loosen and fall out. If it drops down between the frame and the steering stem, it can get in the way of your steering and cause a crash or injury. Honda does not have the final fix ready yet. Warning letters are expected to be mailed around September 21, 2026, and a second letter will follow once parts are available, expected in winter 2026. Dealers will then install a new screw with thread lock. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v495000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v495000/Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000The anchors that hold the seat belt buckles for the center and left second-row seats may not have been attached correctly at the factory. If an anchor is not properly secured, the seat belt may not hold a passenger in place during a crash. Because of this, the trucks do not meet the federal standard for seat belt anchorages. Dealers will inspect the anchors and fasten them to the body of the truck as needed, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v494000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v494000/Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000A part inside the big battery pack that powers these electric vehicles may not have been fastened down properly. If it comes loose, it can shift around and damage the battery, and a damaged battery can catch fire. You cannot see or hear this problem from the driver's seat, so there is no warning sign to watch for. Your dealer will replace the entire high-voltage battery pack at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v481000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v481000/Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000A small switch inside the driver's door lock can corrode over time and stop sensing when the door is opened. That switch is what tells the car to set the electronic parking brake, or Auto-Park, automatically when you get out. If the switch fails, the parking brake may never come on, and the vehicle can roll away by itself after you step out. The dealer replaces the driver's door lock free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v478000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v478000/Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000Vibration from riding can wear out a part inside the ignition lock until it fails. When that happens, the instrument display can go dark, the rear lights can quit, safety systems such as anti-lock brakes can stop working, or the engine can shut off while you are riding. BMW does not have the fix ready yet. Letters warning owners are expected in September 2026, and a second letter will follow once the repair is available. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v473000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v473000/Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000Some 2024-2026 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport vehicles can have a brief drop in electrical power that upsets the dashboard display screens. When that happens, the backup camera picture may not come up when you shift into reverse. Without that picture you cannot see a small child, a pet, or an object sitting right behind the vehicle. A dealer will update the rearview camera software at no cost to the owner. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v470000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v470000/Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000On these SUVs, the driver's seat can tip backward on its own when nobody is sitting in it — for example, after you unlock or start the vehicle remotely. If someone is riding or sitting in the second row behind that seat, the seat back can move into them and pin them against their own seat. Until replacement parts are ready, the dealer will switch off the seat feature that causes it, then replace the seat motor later. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v468000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v468000/Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000The bundle of electrical wiring in your Bronco's engine compartment can get damaged. Damaged wiring can short out, and a short circuit creates heat or sparks under the hood, which can start a fire. Ford dealers will wrap protective sheathing around the wiring so it cannot rub through, at no cost to you. Ford is handling this in three groups by model, so your letter may come later than another Bronco owner's letter. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v455000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v455000/Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000The sticker on the door frame lists how much weight each axle can safely carry. On these vehicles with 22-inch wheels, that number is printed too high. If you load up to what the label says, you could actually be carrying more than the tires and wheels are built to handle. Nissan will install a corrected label free of charge and is also mailing replacement labels to owners. Nothing mechanical is wrong with the vehicle itself. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v451000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v451000/Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000This is a wider version of an earlier recall and covers more model years. The button for the second-row outside easy-entry seats can stick or jam, so the seat may unlatch, tip, or slide when you do not expect it. A seat that moves on its own may not hold a passenger properly in a crash. Dealers will check the switch and replace the plastic ring around it if needed, free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v448000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v448000/Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000The covers over the roof rails — the trim strips running along the top of your Explorer — may work loose and fly off while you are driving. A piece coming off at speed can land in the road and become a hazard for you and the drivers behind you. Ford will check the covers and fix or replace the clips, push-pins, or the covers themselves. The parts for the repair are not expected to be ready until January 2027. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v452000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v452000/Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000Hyundai found that the seat belt buckle for the middle rear seat may not hold a passenger properly in a crash. Someone belted into that center spot might not be restrained the way the belt is supposed to restrain them, so they could be hurt more badly in a collision. Hyundai is telling owners that nobody should sit in the rear center seat until the fix is done. A dealer will replace the buckle assembly at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v444000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v444000/Thu, 09 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000On these Volvo trucks, the bolts joining the steering arm to the steering knuckle — the parts that turn the front wheels when you turn the wheel — may not have been tightened enough at the factory. If those fasteners are loose, the steering arm can move when it should not, and the driver can lose steering control of the truck. A dealer will check the fasteners and tighten any that are not right. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v436000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v436000/Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000The sticker on the door frame that lists how much weight each axle can safely carry shows the wrong numbers on these Subarus. If you load the car based on that sticker, you could end up putting more weight on it than it is built to handle. Overloading a vehicle makes it harder to control and harder to stop. Subaru is mailing owners a corrected sticker, and a dealer will put it on for free if you prefer. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v445000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v445000/Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000These cars were originally built for sale in another country and never set up to meet U.S. safety rules. They do not have knee airbags, may be missing some interior protection features, and their bumpers were not tested to U.S. impact standards. That means people inside may be less protected in a crash. Because the missing equipment cannot simply be added at a service center, Tesla is buying these vehicles back from owners rather than repairing them. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v432000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v432000/Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000Inside the big battery that powers your Ioniq 5, some of the cells were built with parts that do not line up correctly. Over time that flaw can start a fire, whether the car is parked or being driven. Until a dealer replaces the battery, Hyundai says to park outdoors and away from buildings, and to charge the car only to 80 percent instead of full. The new battery costs you nothing. Owner letters are due to go out August 31, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v430000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v430000/Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000The motor that moves your front power seat can overheat. This happens if the seat's slide knob gets stuck, or if an earlier recall repair was not done correctly. An overheated motor can start a fire, whether the vehicle is parked or being driven. Kia will install an electronic fuse in the seat circuit to prevent overheating. This replaces an earlier recall, so even if your Telluride was already fixed under that one, it needs this new repair. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v431000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v431000/Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000Some of the cells inside the big battery that powers your EV were built with parts slightly out of line. A cell like that can overheat and start a fire, whether the vehicle is parked or driving. Until the repair is done, Kia says to park outside, away from buildings, and to charge the battery no higher than 80 percent. Dealers will replace the entire high-voltage battery pack at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v422000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v422000/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000The integrated brake system in these vehicles can malfunction. When it does, you can lose the power assist that makes the brake pedal easy to press, so the pedal goes hard and the vehicle takes longer to stop. The fault can also stop the anti-lock brakes and the stability control from working, which can let you lose control of the vehicle. The dealer inspects the brake unit and replaces it if needed. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v423000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v423000/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000Water can get inside the backup camera on these minivans. When that happens, the picture may not come up on the dashboard screen after you shift into reverse. You lose the view directly behind the van, so it is easier to back into something, or someone, that the mirrors do not show. Federal rules require that picture to appear, which is why this is a recall. The dealer replaces the camera at no charge to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v413000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v413000/Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000Certain Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Wagoneer and Wagoneer L vehicles have a software error that can stop the gear display from showing. That is the readout that tells you whether the vehicle is in park, reverse, neutral or drive. Without it, you cannot confirm the vehicle is actually in park before you step out, and it may move when you do not expect it or roll away on its own. Dealers reprogram the shifter software for free.
