February 9, 2023: USA Today has reported that more than 65,000 vehicles have been recalled due to issues related to airbags, fires and power losses reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A list compiled by WPXI shows all the models that have been affected.
Hyundai has recalled 326 of its new Santa Fe plug-in hybrid models due to a fuel tank problem, and Kia has also had the same problem, recalling 34 Sorentos.
Kia has also recalled 31,943 of its 2023 Telluride SUVs because of an “improperly manufactured” wiring harness that results in a side airbag that can prevent them from deploying in a crash, according to NHTSA documents.
Certain 2023 Jaguar Land Rover F-Pace vehicles are being recalled due to a blocked “engine cam carrier oil channel,” possibly causing “an oil leak and potentially a fire.” NHTSA documents say 6,644 vehicles will be affected.
BMW has recalled some 2022-2023 i4 eDrive40 and iX xDrive50 electric vehicles. NHTSA has said that because the “artificial sound generator control unit” experiences “a failure” during vehicle startup, a failure “to generate the external pedestrian warning sound” occurs.
20,904 of Volkswagen’s 2021 ID4 electric vehicles have been recalled due to “problems with a battery management control module”.
Most recently, the NHSTA issued a “Do Not Drive” warning for “various 2001-2003 model year Honda Accord, Civic, CR-V and Odyssey, Pilot, and Acura 3.2CL and 3.2 TL vehicles” that have “unrepaired Takata airbag inflators”. “
