This Week's Recalls: Apr 27-May 1

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer S and 2024-2025 Dodge Charger EV vehicles. Affected vehicles may experience an inoperative instrument panel cluster (IPC) which may not display required indicators and telltales. Failure to display certain information, such as the BRAKE, ESC, and TPMS system warning lights and gear selection indicator, may cause a driver to operate a vehicle in a compromised condition, which can increase the risk of a crash without prior warning. Dealers will update the IPC software, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V262.

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2026 Land Rover Defender vehicles. Affected vehicles may have been manufactured with a fuel tank where the wall thickness is below design specification near the inlet check valve. A fuel tank with a thinner-than-designed wall may not perform adequately in the event of a crash, leading to increased risk of fuel spillage and potentially fire. Dealers will replace the fuel tank, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V263.

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2025 Audi Q5, Q5 Sportback, SQ5, and SQ5 Sportback vehicles. In affected vehicles, the driver and/or front passenger seat belt may not maintain proper tension when the pretensioner activates during a crash, resulting in increased belt slack and reduced restraint performance. As a result, the occupant may not be adequately restrained during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Dealers will replace one or both front seat belts, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V266.

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2024-2026 Ford Bronco and Ford Ranger vehicles. Affected vehicles are equipped with front seat height-adjust pivot link bolts that may loosen or dislodge from the pivot joint on one or both front seats. If the seat frame height-adjust pivot bolt comes out of the pivot joint, this can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Dealers will inspect the seat cushion height-adjust link pivot bolts and, if any bolt fails inspection, replace the height-adjust link and pivot bolts, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V268.

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2025-2026 Volkswagen Taos vehicles. Affected vehicles were manufactured with a fuel tank pressure sensor wiring harness that is too short, which may cause the sensor to be pulled out of position or separate from the fuel tank during a severe rear-end crash. If this occurs, fuel may leak from the tank in the event of a subsequent vehicle rollover, increasing the risk of fire in the presence of an ignition source. Dealers will install an 80 mm wiring harness extension to the existing affected wiring harness, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V258.
