Ford

Certain 2020-2022 Escape and 2021-2023 Bronco Sport vehicles that may have been improperly repaired during a previous recall are involved.

They pose a risk as their fuel injector is subject to cracking and leaking fuel inside the engine, USA Today reports.

In addition, these vehicles don't contain the updated Powertrain Control Module software, as stated in the report.

However, dealers will update the software free of charge.

Owners will be notified by letter from April 24.

The American brand is also recalling 2022-2022 Explorer models that were improperly repaired.

As a result, the rear axle horizontal mounting bolt may break, causing the driveshaft to disconnect.

Dealers will also update the software free of charge.

Total affected vehicles: 37,823.

Volvo

Hybrid vehicles with high-voltage batteries that may experience a short circuit when fully charged and parked are being recalled by the Swedish brand.

The following models are affected:

  • S90 (2020–2021)
  • S60 (2020–2022)
  • V60 (2020–2022)
  • XC60 (2020–2022)
  • XC90 (2020–2022)
  • V90 (2022)

Motorists are advised not to charge their vehicles until the repair is completed.

Dealers will inspect and replace the battery module and update the software to monitor the battery for free.

Owners will be notified by letter from May 15.

Total affected vehicles: 7,483

It comes after Tesla announced the recall of most Cybertruck models in the US due to a defect in the exterior panel – causing it to detach while the user is driving.

Over 46,000 vehicles manufactured between November 2023 and February 27, 2024 are affected.

Despite several warranty claims regarding this issue, Tesla has assured that no crashes or injuries have been reported yet.
