This Week's Recalls: Apr 13-17

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2015-2017 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Affected vehicles may experience an intermittent Transmission Range Sensor signal to the Powertrain Control Module, which can result in a temporary, unintended downshift into second gear. Such an unexpected downshift could cause the rear tires to slide or a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will update the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) calibration and, if specific diagnostic trouble codes were previously present, replace the transmission lead frame at no cost to owners under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V237.

Kia America, Inc. is recalling certain 2022-2026 Carnival vehicles. Due to a suspected production deviation, the high-pressure crossover fuel pipe nuts may loosen over time, potentially resulting in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire and subsequent injury. Dealers will inspect the high-pressure crossover pipe and either replace it or securely fasten the nuts at no cost to owners under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V232.

Bentley Motors, Inc. is recalling certain 2026 Bentayga Speed vehicles. Affected vehicles may have been fitted with tire information placards that indicate a maximum vehicle payload weight exceeding the design value due to an internal communication error. If customers follow the incorrect placard values, they may unknowingly exceed the load-carrying capacity of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the incorrect tire information placard with an updated version at no cost to owners under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V231.

Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2021-2025 Genesis G80, GV80, 2023-2025 G90, and 2022-2026 GV70 vehicles. The crossover fuel pipe connecting the engine's fuel rails may have been installed with retention fasteners that gradually loosen over time due to insufficient torque stabilizer. A loose fuel pipe connection could allow fuel to leak, increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire. Dealers will inspect and retighten the crossover fuel pipe or replace it if a leak is found at no cost to owners under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V229.

Honda is recalling certain 2018-2022 Odyssey vehicles. The SRS ECU contains incorrect deployment parameters for the side and side curtain airbags, which may cause them to deploy inadvertently when the vehicle encounters strong road impacts such as potholes or speed bumps. Inadvertent airbag deployment increases the risk of injury to occupants. Dealers will reprogram or replace the SRS ECU with improved deployment parameters at no cost to owners under NHTSA Campaign ID 26V227.
