Toyota expands Tundra stall recall for second time

June 30, 2026 Bojan Popic

Plano, TX – June 30, 2026 – Toyota (NYSE:TM) is recalling 43,566 2024 Toyota Tundra pickup trucks that may stall while driving. This defect increases the chances of a crash and injury, particularly in dense traffic. 

This is an expansion of two previous recalls for the same issue.

Recall summary

A crankshaft is a rotating component inside the engine that transfers power to the transmission to propel the car forward. In the affected vehicles, this process is disrupted by “engine machining” debris that were not cleared prior to the start of manufacturing. These debris could cause the crankshaft bearings to fail which would stall the engine or result in it “rough running” or “knocking.”

Recall risks

A stalled vehicle may get hit by other motorists, upping the chances of injury.

Previous Toyota engine stall recall

This is the third time Toyota has addressed the engine bearing failure issue in its vehicles. First, in May 2024, more than 102,000 Tundra and Lexus LX SUVs were recalled and had their engines replaced. Subsequent analysis, however, revealed that more models are affected, which led to a recall of additional vehicles in December 2025. 

Other Toyota recalls

In April 2026, Toyota recalled nearly 74,000 Corolla Cross Hybrids that could have failed to warn pedestrians of their movement.

Also in April 2026, more than half a million Toyota SUVs were recalled because their rear seats would not lock properly.  

The repair

Dealers will inspect the engine and replace it if needed. The remedy is not currently available. Owners will receive a letter about the recall by July 20, 2026. It is not clear if they will receive a separate one once the parts come back into stock.

Auburn Hills, MI – June 26, 2026 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the Jeep brand, is recalling 419,035 SUVs whose side airbags may not deploy fast enough in a crash. This defect reduces occupant protection, upping the risk of injury. 

The following models are affected:

  • 2022 – 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • 2023 – 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

Recall summary

An airbag inflates in a fraction of a second during a crash to protect the occupant. In the affected SUVs, deployment of the side airbag may be delayed due to a malfunctioning pressure sensor. 

Recall risks

An airbag that deploys too slowly may fail to protect the occupant. 

Warning signs

A faulty pressure sensor may trigger an airbag warning light on the dashboard, accompanied by an audible chime every time the vehicle is turned on. 

Other Jeep recalls

Franklin, TN – June 22, 2026 – Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY) is recalling 51,598 2025-2026 Nissan Kicks crossover SUVs whose instrument clusters may malfunction. This deprives the driver of vital information, upping the chances of a crash and injury. 

Recall summary

A digital instrument cluster in the affected vehicles may stay partially or completely blank upon startup. As a result, the driver will not see the speedometer or any warning indicators that could pop up while driving.   

Recall risks

Without a speedometer or warning indicators, drivers may not be aware they are driving too fast or that something is wrong with the vehicle.  

Background of the recall

Leading up to the recall, the carmaker received more than 200 warranty claims. No accidents or injuries have been reported.

Stellantis recalls RAMs over loss of stability

June 17, 2026 Bojan Popic

Auburn Hills, MI – June 17, 2026 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the RAM brand, is recalling 12,736 2023 – 2026 RAM 2500 heavy-duty pickup trucks that may become unstable while driving. This defect increases the risk of a crash and injury.  

Recall summary

A tire’s speed rating represents the maximum speed at which the car can safely travel with the particular tires in place.

Due to a software error, the affected vehicles can exceed that limit.

This could lead to reduced “tire integrity” and ultimately result in the driver losing control of the vehicle.

Recall risks

The loss of control dramatically augments the risk of an accident that can lead to serious injuries or a fatality.

In February 2026, nearly half a million Jeeps and RAMs were recalled over inoperable trailer lights and brakes.  

In December 2025, RAM recalled more than 50,000 pickup trucks whose stability control and seat belt pretensioners could have malfunctioned.

June 10, 2026 Bojan Popic

Austin, TX – June 10, 2026 – Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is recalling 218,868 electric cars and SUVs whose rearview cameras may fail to show an image. This defect reduces visibility while backing up, upping the chances of a crash and injury or property damage.

Recall summary

Recall risks

The absence of a rearview image while backing up reduces visibility, increasing the odds of the driver hitting other cars or pedestrians.

Other Tesla recalls

Auburn Hills, MI – June 4, 2026 – Volkswagen (OTCMKTS:VWAGY) is recalling 38,710 2025-2026 Volkswagen Taos compact SUVs that may develop a fuel leak in a crash. This defect ups the risk of a fire and injury. 

Recall summary

A gas tank has several sensors – including the fuel pressure sensor – fitted on its top side. Due to a supplier error, the pressure sensor’s wiring in the affected cars is too short and may pull the sensor out of the tank in case of a rear-end collision. This would cause a fuel leak.

Recall risks

The leak may result in a vehicle fire, significantly upping the risk of injury.

Safety tips

Warning signs

The passengers may hear squeaking or rattling noises or notice that the seat feels loose. 

The background of the recall

May 23, 2026 Bojan Popic

Dearborn, MI – May 23, 2026 – Ford (NYSE:F) is recalling close to 1.4 million 2015-2017 Ford F-150 pickup trucks whose transmissions can shift on their own, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The defect increases the risk of a crash and injury.

The recall comes on the heels of an ongoing U.S. government investigation and only affects trucks with 6-speed automatic transmission.  

 Recall summary

The automatic transmission in the affected trucks can unintentionally shift from sixth to second gear while driving. This happens due to degraded electrical connections inside the transmission control module.

Warning signs

A malfunction indicator light (MIL) and a wrench symbol may illuminate on the dashboard. 

The background of the recall

The recall is the result of an ongoing investigation by the U.S. government auto safety regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which was opened in March 2025 following 138 complaints alleging unwanted downshifts that would happen “without warning or driver input.” 

Leading up to the recall, the manufacturer had been notified of two accidents and an injury.
