The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued several recalls for various vehicle models due to safety concerns. Ford, Chrysler, Hyundai, BMW, and Nissan are among the automakers affected by these recalls.
Ford is recalling a total of 979,797 vehicles, including certain models of the Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and F-Super Duty. The recall is due to a lack of instructions on how to adjust or remove certain head restraints in the owner’s manual. This issue does not comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 202, “Head Restraints.” Ford plans to mail addendums to the owner’s manual with instructions on how to properly adjust and remove the head restraints. The recall is expected to begin on July 10, and affected owners can contact Ford customer service for more information.
Chrysler is recalling over 80,000 vehicles, including the 2014-2019 Ram 1500 and the 2014-2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The recall is due to a potential crankshaft failure issue in vehicles equipped with 3.0L diesel engines. The crankshaft position sensor tone wheel may delaminate, which could cause an engine stall.

The recall is expected to begin on July 28, and affected owners can contact Chrysler customer service for more information.
Hyundai is recalling 322 2023 Palisade vehicles due to a potential brake assist issue.
