This Week's Recalls: September 7-11

Jeep, Toyota, Ford and Tesla are recalling more than 538,000 vehicles for defects from detaching rear coil springs and failed TPMS warnings to loss of drive power.

Jeep

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 328,381 vehicles: certain model year 2021–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, 2022–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2022–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs. The rear coil springs may have been installed incorrectly and can detach from the vehicle while driving.

A rear coil spring that leaves the vehicle at speed increases the risk of a crash. This campaign replaces NHTSA recalls 26V051 and 23V413, and vehicles already repaired under either earlier campaign still need the new remedy — a prior recall completion in the service history does not close this one out.

Dealers will replace the rear coil spring lower isolators, free of charge. Interim letters advising owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed September 29, 2026; a second notification will follow once the final remedy is available.

Owners may contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US's number for this recall is 89D. Vehicle Identification Numbers involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 9, 2026.

Jeep

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 201,976 vehicles: certain model year 2024–2025 Jeep Wagoneer; 2024–2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Grand Cherokee 4xe and Grand Wagoneer; 2025 Jeep Wagoneer L; 2025–2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L; and 2026 Jeep Cherokee and Grand Wagoneer L PHEV SUVs. A software error may keep the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) from detecting low tire pressure or from illuminating the TPMS warning light as intended, a noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System."

A warning light that fails to alert the driver to low tire pressure increases the risk of a crash. The fault is in the radio frequency hub software, not the wheel sensors, so a TPMS complaint on one of these vehicles is worth checking against campaign status before condemning sensors.

Dealers will update the radio frequency hub software, free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning September 29, 2026. Owners may contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US's number for this recall is 54D. Vehicle Identification Numbers involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 9, 2026.

Toyota

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling 8,521 vehicles: certain model year 2026 Toyota C-HR battery electric vehicles. A software programming error may allow the electric drive system battery to become overcharged under certain driving conditions, which can shut down the electric drive system and result in a loss of drive power.

An unexpected loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. The 2026 C-HR is a battery electric model; the earlier gasoline C-HR is not part of this campaign.

Dealers will update the battery electric vehicle electronic control unit (BEV ECU) software, free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 18, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 26TA17.

NHTSA Campaign ID: 26V570000


 

Ford

Ford Motor Company is recalling 23 vehicles: certain model year 2026 Maverick, F-150 and Bronco Sport vehicles. Certain vehicle joints may have been improperly tightened, which can lead to detached parts, unsecured cargo, degraded crash protection, electrical system failure or a loss of vehicle stability.

Improperly tightened joints can cause a loss of vehicle control, electrical failure or detached parts, increasing the risk of a crash or fire.

Dealers will inspect and tighten the vehicle joints, or repair and replace the joint retention mechanisms as necessary, free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 21, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S60. Vehicle Identification Numbers involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on August 26, 2026.

NHTSA Campaign ID: 26V550000


 

Tesla

Tesla, Inc. is recalling 19 vehicles: certain model year 2026 Tesla Model Y vehicles. One or more front suspension lateral link fasteners may not have been properly tightened, allowing the lateral link to loosen or separate from the subframe.

A lateral link separation can shift the wheel alignment, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Tesla Service will tighten or replace the fasteners and check the wheel alignment, free of charge. Tesla Service will also replace any related parts that may have been damaged, as necessary.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 30, 2026. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-26-31-004.
