October 13, 2026 Aleksandra Snesareva

Plano, TX – October 13, 2026 – Toyota (NYSE:TM) is recalling 48,280 cars whose external oil reservoirs may detach and create road debris. The debris would up the risk of an accident for other vehicles.

The following models are affected:

  • 2024 – 2025 Toyota Tacoma
  • 2025 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid

Recall summary

Shock absorbers are part of the car’s suspension system that help keep the car stable and minimize any sudden movements when the car hits potholes or bumps. The external oil reservoir helps the absorbers continue working in demanding conditions, such as when going off road.

The oil reservoir in the affected vehicles can corrode and detach from the car due to “moisture intrusion.”

Recall risks

The reservoir may end up on the road where other drivers may crash swerving around it. This scenario increases the risk of an accident for all the motorists on the road.

Other Toyota recalls

In April 2026, Toyota recalled 550,000 Highlander SUVs with unsecured rear seats, as reported.

In February 2026, more than 161,000 Toyota Tundra cars were recalled due to faulty rearview cameras, also as reported.

The repair

Dealers will replace the shock absorber assemblies free of charge.

Notifications to the owners will be mailed by September 21, 2026.

Recall summary

The instrument cluster in the affected vehicles may not turn on during startup. This would deactivate several critical functions, such as turn signals, the “seat belt warning system” and hazard lights.

Auburn Hills, MI – October 6, 2026 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the Dodge brand, is recalling 74,578 2021-2023 Dodge Durango SUVs because their rear spoilers may detach. The defect could result in an accident and subsequent injuries.

Recall summary

This could cause it to detach from the vehicle while it is in motion.

Recall risks

Background of the recall

The affected vehicles were recalled in 2021 and then subsequently, 2023 for the same issue, as reported.

In March 2026,  the manufacturer started an investigation after receiving reports of spoilers detaching on the repaired vehicles.

Leading up to the recall, Stellantis received “8 customer assistance records, 116 warranty claims, and 37 other service records.” No accidents or injuries have been reported.

Warning signs

The driver or occupants may hear a “rattle” if the spoiler becomes loose. They may also hear the spoiler hit the body of the car “when opening or closing the liftgate.”

Ford recalls Explorer SUVs with loose roof rail covers

Ford recalls Explorer SUVs with loose roof rail covers

September 24, 2026 Aleksandra Snesareva

Dearborn, MI – September 24, 2026 – Ford (NYSE:F) has issued a recall of 288,314 2016-2019 Ford Explorer SUVs whose roof rail covers may detach and land on the road while driving.

The recall is related to one conducted for the same issue back in 2021.

Recall summary  

Roof rail covers protect roof rails that are used to hold cargo – such as a surfboard – on top of the car. In the affected vehicles, these covers may detach and land on the road.

Recall risks

The road debris created by the covers may cause other drivers to swerve to avoid hitting them. These maneuvers may result in an accident, especially in dense traffic conditions.

Background of the recall

Ford conducted a widespread recall for the same model-year vehicles back in 2021, as reported. 

Vehicles included in the present recall were excluded as they were subject to a separate repair campaign, in which dealers were set to use adhesive to secure the covers. The repair was performed incorrectly, necessitating a second round.

Warning signs

Drivers with insecure covers may hear “squeaks and rattles” while driving. They may also notice a “misalignment” between the cover and the roofline.

Other Ford recalls

In August 2026, Ford recalled 45,000 F-150 pickups over a loss of control in a repeated recall after dealers failed to install the remedy in some of the affected vehicles back in 2024, as reported.

In May 2026, Ford recalled 180,000 SUVs with loose front seats, also as reported.

The repair

Ford or Lincoln dealers will replace the push pins or the covers themselves as needed. Owners were set to be notified of the recall by August 24, 2026. Another round of letters will be sent once the repair becomes available.

Is your vehicle part of this recall?

Over 288,000 vehicles are included in this recall. To see if your 2019 Ford Explorer is part of the recall, use MotorSafety’s free vehicle lookup tool to do a Ford recall check.

Fountain Valley, CA – September 22, 2026 – Hyundai (OTCMKTS:HYMTF) is recalling 47,749 cars whose seat belts may fail to properly restrain an occupant in the event of a crash. This defect increases the risk of an injury. 

The following models are affected: 

  • 2026 Hyundai Kona
  • 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric

 Recall summary

The rear center seat belt buckle may wear out prematurely and not provide enough protection in a crash due to being made “outside of specification” by a supplier in Korea.

Recall risks

If the seat belt buckle fails to hold the belt in place, the rear seat occupant can get flung from the seat, significantly upping the risk of a serious injury.

Safety tips

Owners are advised not to use the rear center seat until the repair is performed.

September 17, 2026 Aleksandra Snesareva

Dearborn, MI – September 17, 2026 – Ford (NYSE:F) is recalling 86,543 2023-2025 Mustang Mach-E SUVs whose window trim may detach and land on the road. This would create road debris, increasing the risk of an accident for other vehicles.

Recall summary

The supplier of the “rear side quarter glass window trim” reduced the installation time of the said trim. This resulted in “insufficient time for a trim primer” to cure, leading to its detachment.

Recall risks

The road debris created by the trim may cause an accident for other motorists on the road. 

Warning signs

Owners may notice squeaking or rattling sounds, as well as “wind noise” as the trim starts peeling off.

Other Mustang recalls

Mustang Mach-E vehicles were last recalled in February 2026 over a failure of multiple lights, including high- and low beams, as reported.

More recently, in August 2026, Mustang and Mustang GTD cars were recalled over faulty windshield wipers, also as reported.

The repair

Ford recalls Explorer and Aviator SUVs with faulty seats

September 10, 2026 Aleksandra Snesareva ,

Dearborn, MI – September 10, 2026 – Ford (NYSE:F), which also owns the Lincoln brand, is recalling 387,911 SUVs whose seats may move unexpectedly. The defect reduces the level of occupant protection in a crash, upping the risk of injury.

The following models are affected: 

  • 2020 – 2026 Ford Explorer
  • 2020 – 2027 Lincoln Aviator

This recall is both an expansion of and a replacement for a previous one conducted for the same issue in 2025.

Recall summary  

The second-row seats of the affected vehicles feature the so-called “easy entry” switch that allows them to be folded or slid forward when needed to provide access to the third row. The switch may “bind” or “stick,” which could result in the seats moving unexpectedly while driving. 

Recall risks

Seats that suddenly move could either injure occupants or fail to protect them in an accident.

Background of the recall

Some of the affected vehicles were already recalled in June 2025 with dealers replacing the switch and the decorative trim around it. After the recall was completed, Ford received several reports of both repaired cars and ones that were not originally included experiencing issues with the second-row seats. That eventually led to the present recall. 

No injuries or accidents have been reported.

Other Ford recalls

In July 2026, Ford recalled  10,700 F-150 pickups over faulty transmission, as reported.

Earlier that same month, Ford recalled 16,000 Bronco SUVs whose roofs would detach while driving, also as reported.

The repair

Dealers will replace the switch and the surrounding decorative trim free of charge.

The remedy is set to be available in January 2027.

When that happens, the owners will receive a letter inviting them to take the car to the nearest dealership.

Franklin, TN – August 27, 2026 – Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY) is recalling 5,283 2026 Nissan Rogue crossover SUVs that may roll away or experience “unintended movement.”

The defect augments the risk of an accident and injury to the car occupants and people around the vehicle.

Recall summary

In the affected vehicles, the transmission may fail to communicate with the engine. As a result, the instrument panel may not show the transmission gear indicator.

Operating the vehicle without knowing what gear it is in may cause the car to roll away or move unexpectedly.
