This Week's Recalls: May 25-29

Automakers are conducting recalls to fix critical safety issues such as malfunctioning rearview cameras, potentially dangerous airbag inflators, delayed side airbag deployment, and faulty drive shafts, with free repairs offered to affected owners.

Key Highlights

  • Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Wagoneer L SUVs may have disconnected front camera wiring, risking rearview image failure during backing, with free dealer inspections and repairs.
  • Cadillac models equipped with potentially rupturing airbag inflators are being recalled to prevent metal fragment injuries, with free inflator replacements by dealers.
  • Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles might experience delayed side airbag deployment due to software faults, increasing injury risk, with free reprogramming available.
  • Honda and Acura vehicles are recalled for front passenger seat sensors that may cause unintended airbag deployment, with free sensor replacements to prevent injuries.
  • Bentley Continental GT and GTC models have front axle issues caused by incorrect drive shafts, which could lead to steering problems and crashes, with free inspections and replacements.

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 59 model year 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer (46 vehicles) and Grand Wagoneer L (13 vehicles) SUVs built between October 4 and December 13, 2025. In affected vehicles, units that were reworked after the normal assembly process may not have had the front camera wire harness reconnected, resulting in a missing rearview camera image and a noncompliance with FMVSS No. 111, which requires the rearview image to display by default at the start of each backing event. As a result, a disconnected camera harness may prevent the rearview image from displaying during a backing event, increasing the risk of a crash, with no warning to the driver. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reconnect the front camera harness (front end module wiring, part number 68664404AC), free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V326.


 

General Motors, LLC

General Motors, LLC is recalling 4,125 model year 2015 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and XTS, and 2015-2016 Cadillac ATS, CTS, and SRX vehicles. In affected vehicles, the front-driver airbag inflator — an ARC Automotive "D5" variant — may contain a supplier manufacturing defect that can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment. The inflators were built using two propellant lots that may contain speckled low-density (SLD) propellant, which increases the likelihood of a high-pressure deployment; these are the same lots used in the ARC "MC" inflators previously recalled under NHTSA 22V246. As a result, an inflator rupture may send metal fragments through the airbag into the vehicle interior, potentially causing injury or death to occupants. Dealers will replace the front-driver airbag module with one that does not use the suspect propellant lots, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V329


 

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 419,035 model year 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee (140,130 vehicles) and 2023-2025 Grand Cherokee L (278,905 vehicles) SUVs built between May 16, 2022 and October 9, 2025. In affected vehicles, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) module contains software that may allow a transient door airbag pressure sensor fault to remain active for the lifetime of the sensor; the affected door impact pressure sensors are supplied by Robert Bosch. A faulted sensor may delay deployment of the side airbag (SAB) in certain crash types, resulting in a noncompliance with FMVSS No. 214 side impact protection requirements. As a result, delayed SAB deployment may reduce occupant protection in certain crashes, increasing the risk of injury. There is no warning prior to the fault, but once it sets, the airbag light illuminates continuously and a chime sounds at each ignition cycle. Dealers will reprogram the ORC with updated software, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V328.


 

American Honda Motor Co.

American Honda Motor Co. is recalling 98,892 vehicles across 23 Honda and Acura model/year entries as an expansion of previous recall 24V064. Affected models include the Honda Accord, Accord Hybrid, Civic, Civic Coupe, Civic Hatchback, Civic Type R, CR-V, CR-V Hybrid, Fit, HR-V, Insight, Odyssey, Passport, Pilot, and Ridgeline, and the Acura MDX, RDX, and TLX, spanning roughly the 2016-2026 model years. In affected vehicles, a capacitor on the printed circuit board of the front passenger seat weight sensor (supplied by Aisin Electronics Illinois) may crack and cause an internal short circuit from exposure to environmental humidity. As a result, in a crash the front passenger frontal and knee airbags may deploy even when an occupant for whom deployment should be suppressed — an infant in a child seat, a child, or a person smaller than a 5th-percentile female — is present, increasing the risk of injury. Warning signs include an illuminated SRS warning light and the passenger airbag indicator remaining off. Dealers will replace the seat weight sensor (part numbers 81167-T2F-L012-M1 and 81168-T2F-L012-M1) with a non-defective part built using the original verified PCB base material, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V332.

Bentley Motors, Inc.

Bentley Motors, Inc. is recalling 8 model year 2026 Bentley Continental GT (5 vehicles) and Continental GTC (3 vehicles) vehicles built between February and March 2026. In affected vehicles, a supplier error during a change in manufacturing location resulted in a small number of front axles being assembled with an incorrect, shorter-than-intended drive shaft supplied by GKN Automotive Hungary. As a result, the incorrect driveshaft may cause the hub securing nut to loosen over time, producing abnormal noise, vibration, and steering wheel misalignment that may increase the risk of a crash. Those same symptoms — noise, vibration, and steering misalignment — are the warning signs a driver may notice. Dealers will inspect the front drive shafts and replace an incorrect shaft with the correct version, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V330.
