Late September brought a fresh batch of recall notices covering everything from pickups to electric SUVs. The problems range from software glitches to loose hardware, and some affect hundreds of thousands of vehicles while others touch only a few hundred. Here are ten vehicles recalled in recent weeks, starting with a Ford pickup whose fuel tank can drop off.
1. Ford F-150: Fuel Tank Trouble
Ford recalled more than 223,400 F-150 pickups from the 2023 to 2027 model years, and a Cars.com report quotes the filing: the fuel tank may not be properly secured and may leak fuel or detach while the vehicle is in motion. Fuel leaking near a moving truck is a fire risk.
Owners should watch for a dealer notice and follow it promptly. Anyone who smells fuel or sees a leak should stop driving the truck until it is checked. A recall notice should arrive by mail, and owners can also enter a vehicle identification number on the federal recall site to check.
2. Jeep Grand Cherokee: Silent Tire Warnings
About 202,000 Jeep and Wagoneer SUVs from the 2024 to 2026 model years, led by the Grand Cherokee, were recalled because a software error prevents low tire pressure from being detected, per a recall roundup. The warning light never comes on.
A tire losing air without warning can lead to blowouts or poor handling. Drivers of these SUVs can protect themselves by checking pressure manually until the software update is installed. The fix is typically free at a dealer, so there is little reason to wait once the notice arrives, and the check takes only a few minutes.
3. Rivian R1S: Camera Blocked in Reverse
Rivian is recalling 98,828 vehicles, including 2022 to 2027 R1S SUVs, after a notification can block the rearview camera image while in reverse. Federal records list the NHTSA recall filing, which was received on September 16.
A blocked camera image while backing up raises the chance of hitting a person or object behind the vehicle. Rivian owners should expect a software fix, and can rely on mirrors and a look over the shoulder meanwhile. The affected group is large, and the recall covers more than one Rivian model, so owners should confirm their own vehicle against the notice.
4. Jeep Wagoneer: Roof Rack Bolts
Another 97,349 Jeep Wagoneers are recalled because pivot bolts on the roof rack crossbars may not have been tightened properly, allowing the bars to detach, according to CarPro’s weekly recalls. Loose crossbars are a hazard to following traffic.
A bar or any cargo strapped to it could come loose at highway speed. Owners who carry gear on the roof should have the bolts checked at a dealer before the next trip. Dealers normally repair recalled parts at no cost, so scheduling the visit soon costs nothing except a little time, and it removes the risk.
5. Volkswagen Tiguan: Stall Without Warning
Volkswagen recalled 49,958 2025 Tiguans because a software error may reset the body control module, which can switch the ignition off and stall the engine, as the NHTSA campaign record describes. One report adds that the ignition shutting off leaves the airbags unable to work in a crash.
A stall on a busy road is dangerous by itself, and disabled airbags raise the stakes. Owners should schedule the software update soon. The recall affects one model year, so owners of older Tiguans are not part of it, but those with a 2025 should confirm through the dealer.
6. Ford Ranger: No Fix Yet
Ford recalled 11,405 Rangers built between April 21 and September 3, 2026, because a display can go blank, and Autoblog’s recall report notes there is no remedy available yet. The root cause is a suspected counterfeit capacitor on a circuit board.
Owners will have to wait for Ford to develop a repair. A blank display can hide information drivers rely on, so any sign of trouble deserves a dealer visit. Recalls with no remedy can stay open for weeks, and Ford customers typically get a follow-up letter once an approved repair is ready to install.
7. Toyota C-HR: Battery Overcharge
Toyota is recalling 8,521 2026 C-HR electric vehicles because a software error can allow the drive battery to overcharge under certain conditions, leading to a complete shutdown of the electric drive system, according to a recall roundup. The vehicle would lose power.
A sudden loss of drive power can leave a car stranded in traffic. A software update is the likely path, and owners should watch for the notice. The count is modest next to the big truck recalls, but electric owners should still pay attention, since the fix arrives through the dealer.
8. Hyundai Ioniq 9: Trapped by a Seat
Hyundai recalled 5,360 Ioniq 9 SUVs because the second-row power seats may fail to detect a person and keep moving. The NHTSA recall notice warns that a person, especially a child, may become trapped by a rear powered seat.
Parents should keep children clear of the seat while it moves and supervise adjustments. The small number of vehicles does not lessen the risk to a child in the rear. Recalled seats are a reminder that convenience features carry safety trade-offs, and owners can ask their dealer how the repair will be handled.
9. Ford Bronco: Airbag Burr
Ford recalled 2,711 2026 Broncos because a metal burr on a curtain airbag bracket may tear the airbag during deployment, according to CarPro’s weekly recalls. A torn airbag may not protect the occupants as designed.
The curtain airbag matters most in side impacts and rollovers, which suits an off-road SUV. Owners should have the bracket inspected as soon as a dealer offers the repair. Only a small number of Broncos are involved, so most owners will be unaffected, but the recall notice will spell out which vehicles qualify.
10. Toyota Grand Highlander: Steering Knuckle Risk
A run of 617 Grand Highlanders and Lexus TX and RX SUVs were recalled because front steering knuckles may fail after a production step was skipped. Autoevolution’s report says the aging furnace step was missed in June 2026.
Steering parts failing at speed is among the most serious problems a recall can address. The count is small, but owners of affected vehicles should not delay the inspection. Owners of Lexus TX and RX models are included in the recall, and a dealer can confirm whether a specific vehicle falls in the affected group.
