December 11, 2025 Bojan Popic

Franklin, TN – December 11, 2025 – Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY) is recalling 41,797 2025 Nissan Sentra sedans with defective windshields that may reduce drivers’ visibility. This defect ups the chances of a crash and injury. 

Recall summary

An automotive windshield has two layers of glass with a plastic sheet between them to prevent it from shattering under impact. In the affected vehicles, the windshield’s layers were not properly glued together during the manufacturing process, which can allow air bubbles to form between them. 

Recall risks

Air bubbles within the windshield may obstruct the driver’s field of view, increasing the risk of a crash and injury. 

Other Nissan recalls

In October 2025, Nissan recalled more than 19,000 Leaf EVs whose batteries could burst into flames while charging. 

In August 2025, nearly 450,000 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles were recalled over an engine defect that could cause them to stall or even catch fire.  

The repair

The dealers will replace the windshield free of charge. 

Notifications to the owners will be mailed by January 15, 2026.

Plano, TX – December 9, 2025 – Toyota (NYSE:TM), which owns the Lexus brand, is recalling 126,691 SUVs and pickup trucks that may stall while driving. This ups the risk of a crash and injury, especially in dense traffic.

December 1, 2025 Bojan Popic ,

Fountain Valley, CA – December 1, 2025 – Hyundai (OTCMKTS:HYMTF) and Kia (OTCMKTS:KIMTF) are recalling 85,043 2020-2023 Hyundai Sonata and 250,547 2021-2024 K-5 vehicles whose fuel tanks may develop a leak. This defect ups the chances of a vehicle fire and injury. 

Hyundai owns a significant stake in Kia and they share some parts, engine components and engineering platforms.

Recall summary

A fuel tank has a purge check valve that regulates the pressure inside it. In the affected vehicles, the valve may get stuck and cause a pressure increase that could result in the tank touching the “hot exhaust pipe components.” Over time, this can lead to “localized melting” of the tank and a fuel leak.

Recall risks

Leaking fuel may cause a vehicle fire, significantly augmenting the risk of injury.  

Safety tips 

You can learn what to do if the vehicle catches fire in this article.

Warning signs 

The driver may hear a “pop” sound from the back of the vehicle or notice a “fuel odor.” In addition, the car may be difficult to start, run rough or have a check engine light come on the dashboard.  

Background of the recall  

Hyundai and Kia tried to tackle the problem by issuing a service bulletin to their dealers in January 2025. The document instructed dealers to replace the check valve when its failure triggered a check engine warning light.

Other Hyundai recalls

In October 2025, more than 30,000 Hyundai Ioniq 6 EVs were recalled because their charging port door panels could have detached while driving. 

In March 2025, Hyundai recalled approximately 32,000 Genesis vehicles due to inoperable instrument clusters. 

The repair

The dealers will replace the fuel tank and the purge check valve and will update the corresponding software. All repairs will be done free of charge.

Notifications to the owners will be mailed by January 16, 2026.
