Stellantis expands Jeep Cherokee rollaway recall

July 15, 2026 Bojan Popic

Auburn Hills, MI – July 15, 2026 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the Jeep brand, is recalling 61,711 2019-2023 Jeep Cherokee SUVs that may lose motive power or roll away when parked. This defect ups the chances of a crash, injury or property damage. 

This is an expansion of three previous recalls, with the first one dating back to June 2020.  

Recall summary

A power transfer unit (PTU) connects the engine and transmission to the wheels. In the affected SUVs, the PTU’s internal parts may break, stopping power delivery to the wheels and rendering the Park gear inoperable.

Recall risks

A vehicle that loses motive power may get hit by oncoming traffic, while the inability to park the car securely can cause it to roll down a slope. Both situations increase the risk of an injury or property damage. 

Warning signs 

Apart from a “Service 4WD message” on the dashboard, the driver may notice unusual noises and vibrations or experience changes in drive quality. 

Background of the recall

Jeep initially recalled a batch of older Cherokee SUVs with disintegrating PTUs in June 2020. Later analysis, however, revealed that certain newer models are also affected by this problem, which led to two subsequent recalls, one in April 2023 and the other in April 2025. 

Between January 2020 and May 2026, the automaker received “9 customer assistance records, 387 warranty claims, 5 field reports, and 16 other service records” related to the issue.

At least one accident and one injury occurred as the result of this defect.

Other Jeep recalls

In March 2026, more than 80,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees were recalled because their rear suspensions could have collapsed.

In December 2025, Jeep recalled more than 112,000 SUVs that could have suffered from a catastrophic engine failure.  

The repair

The carmaker is currently developing a remedy. Once available, it will be free of charge. 

Notifications to the owners were set to be mailed between June 25, 2026 and June 26, 2026.

Torrance, CA – July 13, 2026 – Honda (NYSE:HMC), which also owns the Acura brand, is recalling 98,892 vehicles whose passenger airbags may inadvertently deploy in a crash. This defect ups the chances of an injury.  

The lengthy list of the affected models includes:

  • 2023 Acura TLX
  • 2023 Honda Ridgeline
  • 2025 Honda Ridgeline
  • 2018 – 2020 Honda Fit

  • 2017 – 2022 Honda Pilot
  • 2016 – 2022 Honda Civic
  • 2017 – 2022 Honda CR-V

Recall summary

The front passenger seat has a weight sensor, which allows passenger front and knee airbags to deploy when needed in a crash. 

In the affected vehicles, this sensor may short-circuit due to a supplier error. This can cause airbag deployment when it should be suppressed, such as in the event of a child or a smaller person occupying the seat. 

For the full list of the included vehicles, please visit the following link.

Recall risks

The inadvertent deployment of the airbags could injure the person in the front passenger seat.

Warning signs

The driver may see the supplemental restraint system (SRS) warning light illuminate or notice that the passenger airbag indicator is off.

Background of the recall

Leading up to the recall, the carmaker received 228 warranty claims pertaining to the issue. No injuries or deaths have been reported.

Other Honda recalls

In September 2025, Honda recalled more than 17,000 Acura SUVs because their power steering could have failed.

The carmaker is also currently under investigation by the U.S. government over alleged engine failures that may cause the vehicle to stall or even catch fire. 

The repair

The dealers will replace the seat weight sensor free of charge. 

Notifications to the owners will be mailed by July 6, 2026.

Ford issues second recall for Focus cars over stall risk

Ford issues second recall for Focus cars over stall risk

July 7, 2026 Bojan Popic

Dearborn, MI – July 7, 2026 – Ford (NYSE:F) is recalling 255,404 2012-2018 Ford Focus compact cars that may stall while driving. This defect ups the chances of a crash and injury, especially in dense traffic. 

These vehicles were recalled over the same issue in October 2018, but the repair was not actually performed. 

Recall summary

Gas fumes from the fuel tank are vented into the engine through an evaporative emission control system that keeps them from escaping into the atmosphere. The fumes’ flow is controlled by a purge valve that opens and closes during its operation.

In the affected vehicles, the purge valve may get stuck open. This would lead to the vapors and air filtering into the engine, disrupting the fuel mixture and causing the engine to stall.

Recall risks

A stalled vehicle may be hit by other motorists, increasing the risk of injury. 

Warning signs 

Apart from the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on the dashboard, drivers may also notice inaccurate fuel level and range readings or experience drivability issues. 

Previous Ford stuck purge valve recall

In October 2018, Ford recalled 1.3 million Focuses to address the issue, as reported. The software update intended to solve the problem, however, was not performed on all vehicles, despite being marked as completed. 

Other Ford recalls

In May 2026, Ford recalled 1.4 million F-150 pickups over faulty transmissions, as reported.

In February 2026, over 45,000 Mustang Mach E cars were recalled due to reduced visibility caused by faulty lights, also as reported.

The repair

The dealers will update the vehicle’s software free of charge. The updated software is set to catch when the valve gets stuck open and prevent the stall.

Notifications to the owners will be mailed between July 6, 2026 and July 10, 2026.  

Is your vehicle a part of this recall?

This Ford Focus stall recall affects more than a quarter of a million cars. To do a Ford recall check and see if yours is one of them, please use MotorSafety’s free vehicle lookup tool.

Ford recalls Expedition SUVs with sharp interior edges, injury risk 

July 2, 2026 Bojan Popic

Dearborn, MI – July 2, 2026 – Ford (NYSE:F) is recalling 548,463 2018-2024 Ford Expedition SUVs whose center consoles may cut and injure the car occupants.

Recall summary

The affected vehicles’ center consoles are covered with chrome plating to give them a more polished look. Due to a supplier error, the finish may bubble, peel and crack, creating sharp edges.

Recall risks

The edges may cut the driver and the passengers of the car.

In fact, Ford is aware of 65 injuries – mostly “hand or finger lacerations” –  as well as one consequent accident.

Background of the recall

In addition to the injuries and the accident, the recall comes on the heels of “34 customer call center reports, 150 field reports, and 4,634 warranty reports.” While most of the injuries were minor, some did require medical attention.

Other Ford recalls

In May 2026, Ford recalled nearly 180,000 Bronco SUVs whose front seats would become loose. 

In April 2026, more than 422,000 Ford and Lincoln trucks and SUVs were recalled over inoperable windshield wipers. 

The repair

The dealers will inspect and replace the console free of charge. The parts are currently not available.

They are expected to become available early next year, at which point owners will get letters inviting them to take their vehicles to the nearest dealership for repair.

Interim letters “notifying owners of the safety risk” were set to be mailed in mid-June 2026.

Toyota expands Tundra stall recall for second time

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.

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

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.

Other RAM recalls

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. 

The repair

The dealers will update the truck’s software to limit top speed free of charge.

Notifications to the owners will be mailed by June 4, 2026.

  • 2021 – 2023 Tesla Model S
  • 2021 – 2023 Tesla Model X
  • 2020 – 2023 Tesla Model Y

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

In November 2025, Tesla recalled more than 6,000 Cybertruck pickups whose light bars could have fallen off while driving.
