2007-2013 Mitsubishi Outlander

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. is recalling certain Outlander vehicles. In the affected vehicles, water may drop between the hood and windshield and leak into the wiper motor breathing hole.

2007-2012 Nissan Versa

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain Versa sedan and Versa hatchback vehicles. The affected vehicles have a driver frontal air bag inflator that may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to moderate absolute humidity, temperatures and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the subject inflator with a new one manufactured by a different supplier, free of charge.

2018 Kenworth C500, T680, T800, T880, W900; 2017-2018 Peterbilt 367, 389, 567, 579, 587

General Motors is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles.

While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash. A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

2017 Ram 1500

Chrysler is recalling certain 2017 Ram 1500 trucks. The fuel tanks in the affected vehicles may have a broken fuel tank control valve that might leak fuel if the vehicle were to become inverted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 301, “Fuel System Integrity.”

In the event of a rollover crash, leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tanks, free of charge.

2017 Jeep Compass

Chrysler is recalling certain 2017 Jeep Compass vehicles.

2017 Dodge Challenger

Chrysler is recalling certain 2017 Dodge Challenger vehicles equipped with 5.7L V8 engines and eight-speed automatic transmissions. The transmission may not remain in the Park position if that gear is selected, the engine is still running and the driver exits the vehicle. If the vehicle is exited without the transmission remaining in the Park position and without the parking brake set, the vehicle may roll, increasing the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the transmission control module software, free of charge.

Mazda North America Operations is recalling certain vehicles equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules and used as original equipment or replacement equipment.

2016 Smart Fortwo

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC is recalling certain 2016 smart fortwo vehicles. In these vehicles, the lock nut that secures the parking brake cable to the parking brake lever may loosen over time, resulting in increased parking brake level travel before the parking brake engages.
