Toyota recall in the US
Toyota is recalling 591,377 vehicles in the U.S. due to an issue with the instrument panel display that does not show critical information, increasing the risk of a crash or injury, the country’s auto safety regulator said on Thursday.
The recall covers several models including Venza, Highlander, Lexus, Tacoma and GR Corolla, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
The instrument panel may fail to display vehicle speed, brake system, and tire pressure warning lights due to an error in the instrument panel software at vehicle startup, the agency added.
Hyundai Palisade recalled
Hyundai Motor is recalling 568,580 Palisade vehicles in the U.S., over an issue with the seat belt buckles which may not properly secure passengers in a crash, the U.S. autos safety regulator said on Thursday.
The recall affects certain 2020-2025 model year Palisade vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
Customers are advised to insert the belt firmly into the buckle with a quick and direct motion, pulling on the belt to confirm the seat belt is fully secured, until the recall remedy is performed, the agency said.
The issue was caused due to parts in the seat belt buckle assemblies, which may have been manufactured with out of specification physical dimensions, the NHTSA said.
Jeep Wagoneer and Jeep Grand Wagoneer recalled
Stellantis is recalling nearly 164,000 Jeep vehicles in the U.S. due to issues causing a possible detachment of the trim on the driver and passenger doors, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.
The recall covers certain Chrysler Jeep Wagoneer and Jeep Grand Wagoneer vehicles made between 2022 and 2025, the auto safety regulator said, adding that dealers will inspect and replace the door trim, as necessary, free of charge.
Earlier in September, the NHTSA said Stellantis was recalling about 92,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles in the U.S. due to a software error within the hybrid control processor that could cause a loss of drive power.
Last week, the regulator opened a probe into about 287,000 Chrysler Pacifica minivans from the 2017-2018 model years over potential issues with their electric power steering.
