Audi, Chevrolet, GMC, Honda Among Latest String of Recalls
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has listed its’ automotive recalls for June 2 through 9 and the list includes Audi, Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, and Honda vehicles for various types of recalls.
Volkswagen Group of America, Audi’s parent company, is recalling 72 2022 A4 sedan, Audi A6 sedan, Q5, and Q5 Sportback vehicles for a flawed semiconductor unit inside the engine control unit (ECU), which could potentially short-circuit and cause the vehicles’ engine to stall.
Ford is recalling slightly over 25,000 2019-2020 Mustangs with the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine equipped with manual transmissions. The Power Control Module (PCM) can possibly send an erroneous fault signal message to the modules controlling the reverse light, reverse camera, and driver-assist features, which could potentially disable all of these features.
Ford is also recalling more than 5,000 F-Series and E-Series trucks from 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022 for having faulty Safety Certification Labels which have omitted tire size, rim type, and tire-pressure values. These labels are typically found on vehicles’ rocker or door panels, and let owners know the proper tire, rim, and pressure ratings associated with the vehicle.
General Motors is recalling 1,534 2022 GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks equipped with manual passenger seats. The front passenger seat may contain a bad weld, allowing the hook attachment to separate from the inboard track of the seat frame.
GM is also recalling 39 2022 model year Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD truck chassis cabs. The primary hydraulic brake line assembly pressure-sensor fitting may not be tightened properly, which could result in a brake fluid leak, as well as possibly introduce air into the hydraulic brake system.
Honda is recalling 212 2020 model year CR-Vs for an improperly secured clip for the absorber inside the fuel tank, which may detach, and can cause an inaccurate fuel gauge reading.

" after the first time they looked at the labels, when they wanted to check pressures." Of the two, out of every 1,000 owners, that check tire pressure, one will check the sidewall of the tire for pressure spec. The other will inflate until TPWS light is out or until 'it looks right'.
More massive, politically-directed, gov't spending, just in time, now that we've officially made it to a recession!
