If you own a Honda or Acura SUV or truck, it's worth taking a few minutes to see if your vehicle is part of a recently announced safety recall involving rear subframe corrosion. Honda has recalled more than 880,000 vehicles after discovering that some rear subframes may rust prematurely due to an improperly applied protective coating during manufacturing. Over time, this corrosion can weaken the area where the rear suspension attaches, potentially affecting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash. Which Vehicles Are Included?

Subaru Recalls 70,000+ Crosstrek and Forester Hybrids Over Potential Fire Risk Subaru has issued a significant safety recall involving its popular hybrid SUVs — the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid and 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid. The recall affects more than 69,000 vehicles in the U.S., and while no fires or injuries have been reported to date, the issue raises serious safety concerns related to fuel leakage and fire risk. What’s the Problem? The recall centers on a faulty fuel filler cap seal on affected hybrid models. When the vehicle’s fuel tank is nearly full and exposed to rising ambient temperatures — especially hot weather — fuel can expand and build pressure inside the tank. Due to an insufficient seal between the fuel filler cap and gasket, gasoline can be pushed up the filler neck and leak out past the cap. This situation is pro ... read more

Ford F-150 Transmission Issues? : NHTSA Investigation, What Truck Owners Should Know The Ford F-150 has long been one of America’s most popular and trusted trucks. But recently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into certain F-150 models after reports of unexpected transmission behavior — including sudden downshifts that could create serious safety concerns. If you drive an F-150 or are considering purchasing one, here’s a breakdown of what’s happening and what it means for you. What Is the Investigation About? The NHTSA has launched an investigation involving nearly 1.3 million Ford F-150 trucks from the 2015–2017 model years equipped with the 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission. According to investigation documents, the issue may stem from a loss of signal in the Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor caused by degraded el ... read more

In a striking reminder that even well-established automakers can encounter serious and unusual safety defects, Hyundai has announced a recall of 85,043 Sonata sedans in the U.S. because the gas tank “may melt.” What’s happening? The recall covers Sonata models from 2020 through 2023 equipped with the non-hybrid 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Hybrid powertrains are not included. According to filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the root cause is a defect in the purge-control check valve. That valve defect can allow compressed air to go back into the fuel tank (rather than being safely routed), leading to increased tank pressure. The excess pressure can deform the tank, potentially expanding  it until it makes contact with hot exhaust components — which in turn can lead to melting or fuel leakage, and thus elevated fire risk. Indicators and current impact ... read more
