Four major automakers –Ford, Tesla, Stellantis, and Rivian– have collectively recalled more than 660,000 vehicles in the United States. These recalls address various safety issues, including seat belt malfunctions, power steering failures, rearview camera defects, and headlight problems.

Ford’s seat belt recall

Ford Motor Co. has initiated a recall of approximately 240,000 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator SUVs from the 2020 and 2021 model years. The issue stems from improperly secured seat belt anchors, which could fail during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. While no accidents or injuries have been reported, Ford will begin notifying owners in late March to inspect and, if necessary, replace the defective components at no cost.

Tesla’s power steering concerns

Tesla Inc. is recalling nearly 380,000 vehicles due to potential power steering assist failures. The affected models include 2023 Model 3 sedans and Model Y crossovers equipped with older software that may cause an overvoltage breakdown, stressing motor drive components on the circuit board.

This issue can increase steering effort at low speeds, raising the risk of a crash. Tesla has identified over 3,000 related warranty claims but is unaware of any accidents or injuries. An over-the-air software update has been released to resolve the problem.

Stellantis addresses rearview camera issues

Stellantis is recalling 27,354 Maserati vehicles in the U.S. due to concerns over a rearview camera image that may not display, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall affects specific models, including the 2023-2024 Grecale, 2023-2025 MC20 Cielo, 2024 GranTurismo, GranCabrio, 2021-2024 Levante, Ghibli, Quattroporte, and 2022-2025 MC20 vehicles. The issue, attributed to radio software, will be resolved through an over-the-air update.

Rivian’s headlight recall

Electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian is recalling 17,260 vehicles in the U.S. due to a headlight issue that could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. The recall affects certain 2025 R1S SUV and R1T pickup truck models. The headlight low beam may fail to illuminate in cold weather. To fix the issue, Rivian will replace the headlight control modules at no cost to customers. The company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.

Total vehicles recalled

In total, these recalls encompass approximately 664,614 vehicles across the United States, showing the automotive industry’s commitment to addressing potential safety hazards promptly.

Industry-wide implications

These recalls highlight the automotive industry’s proactive stance on addressing potential safety defects. For consumers, staying informed about such recalls is crucial to ensure vehicle safety and performance. Owners of affected models are encouraged to contact their respective dealerships promptly to arrange for necessary repairs or software update.
