Note these recalls apply only to items that could affect vehicle occupancy safety. Items listed under separate manufacturer technical service bulletins are not always covered by warranty.

2011-2017 Honda Odyssey

Honda is recalling certain 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The second-row outboard seats can slide sideways to one of two positions. If a seat is placed between either of the two positions when attaching the seat to the vehicle floor, the seat will not latch properly to the seat striker, allowing the seat to tip forward unexpectedly during braking.

If the seat tips forward during braking, it can increase the risk of injury.

The remedy for this recall is still under development. Honda will notify owners of the safety risk in an interim notification and provide detailed instructions for installing/positioning the second row outer seats and confirming that they are securely latched. Once a final remedy is determined and the necessary parts are available, Honda will send a second letter to the owners to have them visit a dealer and have the condition remedied, free of charge.

2014-2018 Mitsubishi Mirage

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2014-2018 Mirage vehicles. The internal acceleration sensor in the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) can misinterpret vibrations such as those from poor road conditions or a flat tire to be a sensor error thereby disabling the air bags from deploying in a crash.

Air bags that do not deploy as designed in a crash can increase the risk of injury.

MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the SRS-ECU software, free of charge.

2017 Land Rover Range Rover, Range Rover Sport

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2017 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles.

Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge.

2017 Ford F-150

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2017 F-150 vehicles equipped with ten-speed transmissions. The pin that attaches the transmission shift linkage to the transmission may come out, preventing the transmission from responding to movement of the shift lever.

The disconnected linkage may cause the vehicle to not move forward or backward as selected by the driver with the shift lever. Additionally, despite selecting "Park," if the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the roll pin with an updated part, free of charge.

2018 Jeep Cherokee, Compass

Chrysler is recalling certain 2018 Jeep Cherokee and Compass vehicles equipped with 2.4L engines. The engines may have cracked oil pump housing that can result in oil pump failure.

2018 Ford F-150

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2018 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 3.3L engine, a six-speed transmission and a column mounted shift lever. Quickly moving the shift lever from Park to Drive may cause a loss of gear indication on the instrument cluster display and a momentary selection of an unintended gear, such as Reverse or Neutral before the vehicle achieves Drive function.

Unidentified or unintended gear selection may cause the vehicle to move in a way that was not intended by the driver, increasing the risk of crash or injury.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module, free of charge.

2015-2017 Ford Transit

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2015-2017 Ford Transit vehicles, equipped with a trailer tow module. Water can enter the tow modules and corrode the wiring causing issues such as rapidly flashing turn signals, loss of instrument panel display, an electrical short and possibly the deployment of seatbelt pretensioner.

An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire. Turn signal, instrument cluster or seatbelt pretensioner problems can increase the risk of a crash.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will add a drainage hole in the driver's door stepwell and incorporate a fuse into the vehicle's wiring harness, free of charge.

General Motors LLC is recalling certain 2011-2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 and GMC Sierra 3500 trucks equipped with dual fuel tanks. The low fuel level sensor for the front tank may stick, causing the rear tank to overfill the front tank.

If the front tank overfills, the excess pressure may cause the front tank to expand and contact the driveshaft, possibly resulting in a hole in the tank. The hole will leak fuel, which in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear tank fuel pump or update the fuel-level sensor software, as well as inspect the front tank, replacing it as necessary, free of charge.

If the back-up lights are not bright enough, other drivers may not see the vehicle reversing, or the driver may back into an obstacle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected inner taillight assemblies, free of charge.

2016 Toyota Prius

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2016 Prius vehicles. A capacitor within the hybrid system may not have been properly bolted to the inverter housing.

2016-2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling all 2016-2017 iMiEV vehicles, equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment.

If the seat back is not adequately secured, and/or the seat occupant is improperly positioned, there can be an increased risk of injury.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the second row outboard seats for proper seat adjustment travel, replacing the seat frame assembly if necessary. Dealers will also inspect the bolt attaching the seat back to the seat base for the proper installation, correcting it as necessary. These repairs will be made free of charge.

2012-2014 Kia Forte, Forte Koup

Kia Motors America is recalling certain 2012-2014 Forte and Forte Koup vehicles. The brake pedal stopper pad can deteriorate allowing the brake light switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released. This will allow the brake lights to remain illuminated continuously. It can also allow the shift lever to be moved without depressing the brake pedal, or activate the engine management brake pedal override feature.

If the brake light switch plunger does not retract as it should when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights may stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to the following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, if the brake switch plunger is not retracted, then the transmission can be shifted out of Park without depressing the brake pedal. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake pedal stopper pad, free of charge.

If the brake light switch plunger does not retract as it should when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights may stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, if the brake switch plunger is not retracted, then the transmission can be shifted out of Park without depressing the brake pedal. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake pedal stopper pad, free of charge.
