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.

I’m calling bulls**t on the Honda recall. We all well know that Honda’s are perfectly engineered and constructed before sale – any issues after sale are due to owner misuse/abuse and are only repaired on the owner’s dime. Where are the FB fact-checkers to point this misinformation out…
That reminds me of the story if you brought your Rolls Royce in to have something fix, they would check it out, and then return it to you and if you asked they said “there is nothing wrong, this is a RR the finest automobile in the world there is never anything wrong with it”
“FB fact-checkers”
You meant FBI fact-checkers?
A1) The headline needs a recall (there is no “I” in “Team” but there should be one “i” in “Audi”)
A2) Something is Truly Weird about the editing process around here lately — as in homonyms [homophones and not homographs I suppose] substituted which are legitimate words, but not words that most native English speakers are familiar with.
B) Ponder for a moment the complexities involved with instituting and maintaining a production tracking process which lets you isolate manufacturing irregularities down to a subset of 72 Audis or 39 Chevrolets. Impressive stuff and I ain’t even putting you on.
Typo. Fixed. Not sure what A2 is referring to.
“there is no “I” in “Team” ”

No one wants to talk about number B?

“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.

Going all the way back to 2016? You’d think the earlier ones would’ve been addressed by now. I think owners would’ve complained, after the first time they looked at the labels, when they wanted to check pressures.
” 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’.
My process:
a) Find the door jamb sticker and scrupulously note the tire pressure figures printed thereon
b) Round up to 33 psi. My tires get inflated to 33 psi*.
(Not sure why I do both steps, but I always do. If I ever get a Tesla or a semi-truck [or a Tesla semi-truck] my process needs to change big-time.)
*Historically for my vehicles (and “typically” in my mind until 3 minutes ago) the vehicle sticker is 31 and the max on the sidewall is (was) 35 [“I’m not quite as dumb as I look” — “Well, how could you be”]. Just checked and the sidewall “max” pressures on my current vehicle fleet are insanely high.
