Ford recalls:More than 30,000 Mustangs over potential loss of steering control

Toyota recalls head rests that may be removed

Toyota is recalling 11,418 of its vehicles. The automotive manufacturer said the head restraints on the driver and front passenger seats may be removed without pressing the lock release button. A helmet that is not securely fastened can come loose or detach, increasing the risk of injury during a crash, the NHTSA report said.

The government agency said these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 202, "Head Restraints."

To fix this issue, Toyota dealers will replace the driver and front passenger seat headrest assemblies for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be mailed on July 27. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24LB06 and 24LA06.

Recalled vehicles:

  • 2024 Lexus RX 350
  • 2024 Lexus RX 350h
  • 2024-2025 Lexus NX 250
  • 2024-2025 Lexus NX 350
  • 2024-2025 Lexus NX 350h

General Motors recall for fuel pump being improperly secured

General Motors (GM) is recalling 8,622 of its 2024 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles. The automotive manufacturer said the lock ring that secures the fuel pump to the fuel tank assembly may not have been locked fully. As a result, this can cause a fuel leak during a crash. When a fuel leak happens near an ignition source, it increases the risk of a fire, according to the NHTSA report.

To fix the issue, dealers will inspect and fully lock the fuel tank lock ring. This service will be completed for free. Notification letters are expected to be sent out on Aug. 13. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or the GMC Customer Call Center at (888) 988-7267. GM's number for this recall is N242451330.

Recalled vehicles:

  • 2024 Chevrolet Colorado
  • 2024 GMC Canyon

Ford recalls

Loss of steering control for tie rod failure

Ford is recalling 2,605 of its 2025 F-Super Duty F-650 and F-750 vehicles. The automobile manufacturer said the front axle tie rod assemblies may have ball studs that have been heat-treated incorrectly. This can cause them to break and possibly cause a tie rod failure. If a tie rod fails, a driver can lose control of the steering and increase the risk of a crash, the NHTSA report said.

For free, dealers will inspect and replace the front axle tie rod assembly as needed. Owner notification letters are expected to be delivered by Aug. 13. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S42.

Recalled vehicles:

  • 2025 F-Super Duty F-650
  • 2025 F-750 vehicles

Windshield detachment

Ford is recalling 4,361 of its 2024 F-150 vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the automobile manufacturer said the windshield may not have been properly bonded to the vehicle which can cause it to detach during a crash. A vehicle's windshield that detaches during a crash can increase the risk of injury.

The government agency also said that these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 212, "Windshield Mounting."

As a resolution, Ford dealers will remove, replace, and reinstall the windshield for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent on July 8. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24C20.

Recalled vehicles:

  • 2024 F-150

Lost steering wheel control

Ford is recalling its 30,735 2022-2023 Ford Mustang vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the automobile manufacturer said the secondary steering torque sensor may not be calibrated properly. This can cause the steering wheel to turn side to side despite the driver's direction. If a steering wheel turns unintentionally, it can cause a driver to lose control of the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

Ford dealers will update the affected vehicle's power steering control module software for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be delivered by Aug. 5. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S44.

Recalled vehicles:

  • 2022-2023 Ford Mustang
