A brake fluid leak may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake hoses, replacing any that are incorrect, free of charge.

2011-2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2011-2016 Outlander Sport vehicles. Water may enter between the hood and windshield and cause the front wiper link ball joint to corrode, possibly resulting in the wiper link separating and the wipers becoming inoperative.

Loss of wiper function can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rod of the wiper link and the wiper motor crank arm, free of charge.

2017-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 Tiguan Limited vehicles. The front driver air bag installed on these vehicles may not be intended for use in vehicles sold in the United States. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”

In the event of a crash, the incorrect air bags may not protect the driver as intended, increasing the risk of injury.

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering wheel and front driver air bag module, free of charge.

2017-2018 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500

Chrysler is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 3500 cab chassis, 4500 cab chassis and 5500 cab chassis vehicles, all equipped with a column shifter.

Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in Park may cause the brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of Park into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.

Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will update the body control module software. Dealers will also test the BTSI operation, replacing the solenoid as necessary.

2017 Dodge Caravan; 2017 Jeep Wrangler

Chrysler is recalling certain 2017 Dodge Caravan and Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The brake switches on these vehicles may malfunction, keeping the brake lights illuminated and/or allowing the vehicle to be shifted out of the Park position without the brake pedal being pushed.

Having the brake lamps continuously illuminated or being able to shift the vehicle out of Park when the brake pedal is not pressed (and the ignition is in the Run mode) can increase the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake switches, free of charge.

2016-2018 Audi RS7; 2014-2015 Audi S7

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2014-2015 Audi S7 and 2016-2018 RS7 vehicles.

The tire information label on these vehicles incorrectly lists the combined maximum weight as 1146 lbs./520 kg, when the correct combined maximum weight is actually 992 lbs./450 kg. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, “Tire Selection and Rims.”

If the operator were to load the vehicle based on information on the tire information label, they could overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Audi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire information label, free of charge.

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling certain 2017-2018 Kenworth T680 and T880 trucks and Peterbilt 567 and 579 trucks, all equipped with an automated Eaton UltraShift Plus or Eaton Advantage Transmission with right hand stalk shifter. The display that indicates which transmission gear the driver selected may display incorrectly. The display can indicate “N” when the shifter is set to “D” or “R,” and as a result, the truck will not move. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 102, “Transmission Shift Level Sequence/Starter Interlock/Transmission Braking Effect,” and No. 101, “Control and Displays.”

A truck that does not move as expected can increase the risk of a crash.

2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque convertible vehicles equipped with 20-inch wheels. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may be incorrectly set and thus may not illuminate the warning on the instrument panel when a tire’s pressure is 25-percent below the recommended cold inflation pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.”

If the vehicle fails to warn the driver of low tire pressure, driving the vehicle may result in tire tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS setting to correct the illumination setting, free of charge.

Entegra Coach is recalling certain 2015-2016 Aspire and 2017-2018 Insignia motorhomes built on a Spartan chassis. The air brake supply reservoir is less than 12-times the combined volume of air for all service brake chambers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, “Air Brake Systems.”

The undersized air brake supply reservoir may provide an insufficient air supply to properly operate the brakes during repetitive brake applications, reducing braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
