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. 

Other Jeep recalls

In June 2026, more than 20,000 Jeep and Dodge vehicles were recalled because their instrument panels could have gone blank while driving. 

In March 2026, Jeep recalled approximately 81,000 Grand Cherokee SUVs whose rear suspensions could have collapsed. 

The repair

The dealers will reprogram the airbag’s control module free of charge. 

Notifications to the owners will be mailed between June 11, 2026 and June 19, 2026.

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.

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.

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.  

The following vehicles are affected: 

  • 2017 Tesla Model 3
  • 2021 – 2023 Tesla Model 3
  • 2021 – 2023 Tesla Model S
  • 2021 – 2023 Tesla Model X
  • 2020 – 2023 Tesla Model Y

Recall summary

The rearview camera in the affected EVs may take too long to show an image when shifted into reverse. This non-functioning period lasts 11 seconds and occurs immediately after the vehicle is started.      

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. 

The Cybertrucks were also recalled in April 2025 over fly-away trims, as reported.

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
