Honda recalls: Over 187,000 Honda Ridgeline trucks recalled over rearview camera issue

BMW recall for seatbelt malfunction

BMW is recalling 3,256 of its 2024 and 2025 vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the luxury manufacturer said the seat belt system may not detect that the passengers in the vehicle are belted. As a result, the seat beat warning light will not illuminate and can cause the supplemental restraint system (SRS) to not deploy properly during a crash. When a seat belt warning light does not alert the driver that their passengers are unbelted or the SRS system fails to deploy, it can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," the NHTSA report said.

To resolve this issue, dealers will inspect and replace the front seat lower seat belts as necessary. All services will be completely for free. Notification letters are expected to be sent on July 5. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Ford recall over software error that disrupts the drive power

Ford is recalling 8,727 of its vehicles. The hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM) software may cause the vehicle to shift into neutral unexpectedly which can cause a loss of drive power. When a driver loses the ability to control the drive power, it will increase the risk of a crash, the NHTSA report said.

Mechanics will update the HPCM software for free at the dealer. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent on May 23. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S33.

Recalled vehicles: 

  • 2020-2022 Ford Escape

  • 2021-2022 Lincoln Corsair

  • 2022-2024 Ford Maverick

Honda recalls Ridgelines for rearview camera malfunction

Honda is recalling 187,290 of its 2020-2024 Ridgeline trucks. In the NHTSA report, the motor company said the rearview camera tailgate wire harness may become obsolete and break. This will prevent the rearview camera image from displaying. If a rearview camera does not display the image of the objects next to the vehicle’s rear, it can increase the risk of a crash.

As a remedy to resolve the issue, mechanics will replace the rearview camera tailgate wire harness. All services for the recalled vehicle will be completed for free. Notification letters are expected to be delivered by July 1. Owners may contact Honda service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is YI7.

  • Nissan cuts output at top Japanese plant, sources say

    Nissan cut planned production by a third at its top Japanese plant this month, a move that will also see it slash output of a flagship crossover model, two people said, as it struggles with weak U.S. demand for its ageing line-up. The Japanese automaker on Thursday reported an almost complete wipe-out in April to June profit and cut its full-year outlook after it was forced to offer deep discounts in the U.S., highlighting the deepening risk it faces in its largest market. Unlike rivals Toyota and Honda, Nissan doesn't offer hybrid models in the U.S. and therefore hasn't benefitted from recent upswing in demand from U.S. consumers for hybrids as enthusiasm around EVs has cooled.

  • Nissan's Q1 profit plunges 99% as US discounts shred margins

    STORY: Nissan slashed its annual outlook Thursday after reporting a 99% plunge in first-quarter profits.That’s as deep discounting in the U.S. shredded the Japanese automaker’s margins. Nissan’s shares fell following the results, which were far short of analyst expectations.Operating profit for April-June was just $6.5 million.That was just a fraction of the roughly $1 billion profit predicted ahead of the results. It marks Nissan’s worst quarterly performance in more than three years.While global sales remained even year-on-year at 787,000 vehicles, the profit from those sales was hit by an increase in discounts and marketing costs. That’s as Nissan tried to ride out intense competition, particularly in the U.S. The automaker, which has struggled in the U.S., said sales there were also hurt by an aging portfolio and a market shift to hybrid vehicles. However, the firm's CEO told Reuters that Nissan plans to bolster sales with fresh models in the second half of the year. Despite this, investors will now likely worry about the car maker's outlook in the United States.That concern adds to Nissan’s woes in China, where it has seen tough competition from domestic rivals.Shares in the company tumbled around 11% at one point before finishing down 7% - their biggest one-day decline since February.
