Key Highlights

  • Ford's recall involves replacing the engine's long block to fix improperly installed camshaft roller finger followers that could lead to engine failure or no-start conditions.
  • Toyota will update the software of affected vehicles' combination meters to prevent blank displays that hide critical warning indicators, reducing crash risks.
  • Subaru is inspecting and replacing moonroof glass panels in certain models where improper bonding could cause detachment and increase crash or injury risks.

Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company is recalling 1,536 model year 2025-2026 Ford Bronco (408 vehicles), Explorer (895 vehicles), and Ranger (233 vehicles) equipped with the 2.3L engine, built between February 2024 and May 2026. In affected vehicles, one or more engine camshaft roller finger followers may have been improperly installed during engine assembly and dislodged from the valve stem during camshaft installation. As a result, an improperly installed roller finger follower may cause engine failure, producing a no-start condition or a loss of motive power that increases the risk of a crash. Warning signs include an engine ticking or tapping noise, a low-volume engine leak while running, and possible illumination of the malfunction indicator (check engine) lamp. Dealers will replace the engine's long block (part numbers RB3E-6006-AA/BA and PB5E-6006-AA/BA) with one having properly installed roller finger followers, free of charge; interim owner letters are expected in mid-June 2026, with remedy parts and final notification planned for late 2026, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V343.

Toyota

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

Toyota is recalling 81,893 vehicles for a noncompliance affecting the 12.3-inch combination meter, spanning the 2024-2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid (40,157 vehicles), 2024 Toyota Mirai (356 vehicles), 2025 Lexus UX Hybrid (9,165 vehicles), and 2024 Lexus GX (32,215 vehicles). In affected vehicles, a startup fault can cause certain areas of the display to go blank, so required indicators for engine oil pressure, engine coolant temperature, and electrical charge may not appear when the underlying condition occurs; the subject vehicles may not comply with FMVSS No. 101, and the Mirai may also fail to display a loss-of-isolation warning under FMVSS No. 305. As a result, the driver may not recognize an associated vehicle issue, delaying appropriate action and increasing the risk of a crash or injury. The warning sign is a partially blank combination meter at startup. Dealers will update the combination meter software, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V341.

Subaru

Subaru of America, Inc.

Subaru of America, Inc. is recalling 69,663 model year 2026 Subaru Forester (65,656 vehicles) and Forester Hybrid (4,007 vehicles) SUVs built between June 2025 and March 2026 and equipped with a power moonroof. In affected vehicles, the moonroof glass panel may have been bonded to the sliding frame without proper application of the primer, and over time that adhesion may deteriorate. As a result, the moonroof glass may become detached during use, and a displaced panel could increase the risk of a crash or injury for other road users. Dealers will inspect the power moonroof glass panel for proper adhesion and, if necessary, replace the glass panel assembly (part number 65430SL00A) at no cost to the customer, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V346.

 

Kia

Kia America, Inc.

Kia America, Inc. is recalling 6,264 model year 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid (4,367 vehicles) and Telluride (1,897 vehicles) SUVs built between March and May 2026. In affected vehicles, a supplier error placed an incorrect vehicle sensor in certain driver's seat belt assemblies, which in certain conditions causes the emergency locking retractor to lock when the driver tries to extend the webbing; the vehicles do not comply with the ELR requirements of FMVSS No. 209. As a result, a seat belt that locks when extending may be temporarily unavailable as a restraint, increasing the risk of injury to an unbelted driver in a collision. The warning sign is an inability to extend the driver's seat belt. Dealers will replace the driver's seat belt assembly (part number 88810-P8500) with one containing the correct sensor, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V356.

 

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC is recalling 207 model year 2026 GLE and GLS vehicles on the 167 platform — including GLE 350, 450, 450E, and 580, GLS 450, 580, and Maybach GLS 600, and several AMG variants — built between January 21 and February 16, 2026. In affected vehicles, an irregularity in a plant rework process means the bolts securing the rear seat belts to the body may not have been tightened to the specified torque. As a result, the seat belt bolt connection may loosen and impair the restraint effect, increasing the risk of injury to occupants. There is no warning to the driver due to the nature of the failure. Dealers will retorque the affected rear seat belt bolt connections and replace any missing bolts, free of charge, under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V353.
