Nissan in North America is recalling 322,671 2013-2016 Pathfinder vehicles because the secondary hood (hood) latch may malfunction and remain in the open, unsecured position when the hood is closed. The tool is under development.

The automaker is also recalling 180,176 2020-2022 Frontier and Titan vehicles. The transmission park latch may not engage when the vehicle is placed in park, causing the vehicle to roll. Owners are advised to apply the parking brake whenever they park their vehicle. The tool is currently under development.

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling 46,176 2022 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles because the flanged nuts on the axle subassemblies can loosen over time and potentially cause one or both axle subassemblies to separate from the axle housing. Dealers will inspect the rear axle assembly, tighten the axle flange nuts and replace any damaged axle components if necessary.

Kia Motors America is recalling 17,199 2021-2022 Sorento Hybrid and Sorento Plug-in Hybrid vehicles. In the event of an accident, the driver and/or passenger seat belt pretensioners may explode when deployed. Dealers will install seat belt pretensioners with caps free of charge.

Ford has announced two new recalls. It is recalling 63,294 new 2022 Bronco and Ranger vehicles. The windshield (windshield) may not have been properly attached to the vehicle, which could have allowed it to detach during an accident.

Ford is also recalling 2,666 2022 F-150 BEVs equipped with 20- or 22-inch all-season tires. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light may not illuminate properly without warning the driver of low pressure. Therefore, these vehicles do not meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 138, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems. The Body Control Module (BCM) software will be updated by the dealer or via an over-the-air (OTA) update.
