This Week's Recalls: May 18-22

Several automakers including GM, Ford, Honda, Tesla, and Hyundai have issued recalls for specific vehicle models due to safety concerns such as faulty wheel bolts, roof delamination, rearview camera failures, missing certification labels, and overheating power units. These issues pose risks like loss of control, crashes, or fires, prompting free dealer repairs and inspections.

Key Highlights

  • GM recalls 2,464 vehicles for potentially loose front hub bolts that could lead to partial loss of control and crashes.
  • Ford issues a recall for 16,200 Bronco models due to roof panel delamination, which could detach and pose road hazards.
  • Honda recalls nearly 60,000 electric vehicles for rearview camera bonding issues that may cause image failure and increase crash risk.
  • Tesla addresses missing certification labels in over 14,500 Model Y vehicles to prevent overloading and potential crashes.
  • Hyundai recalls over 54,000 Elantra Hybrids for overheating power units, which could result in fires or vehicle failure.

General Motors

General Motors, LLC is recalling 2,464 model year 2025-2026 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban 1500 and Tahoe, and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles equipped with 24-inch wheels. The recall is limited to vehicles that either received the dealer-installed accessory brake package (RPO 5JL) or had a front wheel-hub bearing replacement performed in service. In affected vehicles, dealers may have used incorrect front hub bearing bolts because GM's service information and certain accessory brake kits specified the wrong fasteners for 24-inch wheel applications; these bolts may loosen or deform over time. As a result, if a bolt breaks or fully loosens during operation, additional load is placed on the remaining three bolts and could lead to partial loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Drivers may hear noise or feel vibration from the affected wheel hub before failure. Dealers will replace the front left and right wheel hub bolts (correct part numbers 11605137 and 11547070), free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V304.


 

Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company is recalling 16,200 model year 2021-2022 Ford Bronco vehicles — 15,045 from the 2021 model year and 1,155 from the 2022 model year — equipped with 3-door or 5-door Molded-In-Color (MIC) hard tops supplied by Webasto Roof Systems. Affected 3-door tops were built between September 23, 2020 and January 13, 2022, and affected 5-door tops were built between September 23, 2020 and October 22, 2021, before supplier process and equipment parameters were optimized. In affected vehicles, the exterior skin of the roof panel may exhibit delamination or cracking from environmental exposure due to weakened adhesion between the poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) outer layer and the polyurethane (PU) substrate, and in severe cases sections of the outer skin can detach while driving. As a result, a detached section can create a road hazard for other road users, increasing the risk of a crash. Customers may notice progressive delamination of the outer layer and hear increased wind noise while driving. Dealers will inspect the hardtop and replace it with an updated unit if cracking or delamination is found, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V299.


 

American Honda Motor Co.

American Honda Motor Co. is recalling 59,887 electric vehicles, including 15,688 model year 2024 Acura ZDX and 44,199 model year 2024-2025 Honda Prologue vehicles, equipped with rearview cameras supplied by Sharp. In affected vehicles, improper plasma irradiation pre-treatment of the camera case bonding surface during manufacturing may have deformed or chemically altered portions of the bond, reducing adhesive strength and allowing adhesive separation over time. As the bond fails, moisture can intrude into the camera assembly and corrode internal electrical components, causing the rearview camera image to become blurry, distorted, or fail to display as a black screen. As a result, a degraded or missing rearview image increases the risk of a crash or injury. Dealers will replace the rearview camera (part number 86583111) with an improved unit manufactured using a corrected bonding process, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V306.


 

Tesla, Inc.

Tesla, Inc. is recalling 14,575 model year 2025-2026 Tesla Model Y vehicles — 2,697 from the 2025 model year built between November 17, 2024 and February 24, 2025, and 11,878 from the 2026 model year built between February 25, 2025 and April 21, 2026 — that may not be equipped with the certification label required by 49 CFR Part 567. The condition was discovered on April 17, 2026, during a routine internal audit at the Fremont factory, when Tesla determined that its automated vision-scanning tool used to verify the presence of a properly affixed certification label was performing inconsistently. As a result, the absence of a certification label with weight specifications may lead to customers overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Tesla will inspect affected vehicles and affix a compliant certification label (part number 1462927-00-C) where necessary, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V315.


 

Hyundai Motor America

Hyundai Motor America is recalling 54,337 model year 2024-2026 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid vehicles assembled by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea between October 31, 2023 and December 31, 2025. In affected vehicles, the Hybrid Power Control Unit (HPCU) supplied by Hyundai Mobis contains a metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) that can overheat under high electrical loads because the current HPCU software logic may not provide sufficient cooling of the assembly. In most cases, the condition presents as a no-start condition or as a reduced-power "limp" mode with the malfunction indicator lamp illuminated while driving; in limited cases, the HPCU could overheat and cause localized thermal damage to the assembly and internal components. As a result, HPCU overheating could increase the risk of a fire. Warning signs include a no-start condition and an illuminated MIL. Dealers will update the HPCU software — which improves MOSFET cooling and limits current delivery during operation — free of charge, regardless of whether the vehicle remains under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V308.
