Recall notices pile up quickly, and the weekly filings from late August through September 2026 included several high-volume campaigns. The entries below draw on weekly recall roundups and one NHTSA campaign record, with each recall described as the source states it. Ten vehicles show the range of problems, from seat movement to fuel tank straps.

1. Jeep Grand Cherokee: Rear Spring Concern
A recall covering 328,381 Grand Cherokees from the 2021-2023 model years was listed because a rear coil spring may have been installed incorrectly, according to the Sep. 14, 2026 roundup.
Owners of those model years can check a VIN on NHTSA’s recall lookup to see whether a vehicle is included. The roundup describes the issue as a possible installation error, so not every covered vehicle necessarily has the defect, but the check is quick. Because the recall spans three model years and a six-figure vehicle count, a dealer visit is the surest way to learn whether a given Grand Cherokee is affected.
2. Ford F-150: Fuel Tank Straps
Fuel tank straps that may not hold the tank securely led to a recall of 223,472 F-150 trucks from the 2023-2027 model years, per a weekly recall summary.
The listing notes the tank may leak fuel or detach from the vehicle while driving, which places it among the more serious safety recalls. Owners of covered trucks should watch for recall notification and schedule the repair when the remedy becomes available. The model-year span is wide, running from 2023 to 2027, so newer trucks fall inside the recall as well as older ones.
3. Jeep Wagoneer: Tire Warning Glitch
A software error that can disrupt the tire pressure monitoring system prompted a recall of 201,976 Wagoneers, Grand Wagoneers and Grand Cherokees, as the recall roundup reports.
The summary says affected vehicles may fail to warn the driver when a tire runs significantly low. Until a repair is done, checking tire pressure manually with a gauge is a low-cost habit for owners of covered vehicles, especially before long highway trips. The count also spans three nameplates, which shows that one software error can reach well beyond a single model.
4. Dodge Durango: Third Spoiler Recall
About 75,000 Durangos from the 2021-2023 model years were recalled because a rear spoiler can come loose at highway speed, and the Aug. 31 roundup notes it is the third recall for the same spoiler issue.
A third recall for one problem raises a fair question about whether earlier fixes held, though the source does not say why the issue returned. Owners who had the spoiler repaired before should confirm with a dealer that the latest remedy applies to their vehicle.
5. Kia EV9: Child Seat Detection
A pinched occupant-detection tube in 21,290 Kia EV9s may fail to flag a child seat, so the airbag may not suppress, according to a weekly recall listing.
The concern is specific to child-seat detection, so families who use child seats in an EV9 have the most reason to confirm whether their vehicle is covered. The source words the issue as a possibility, and the remedy details would come from the maker. At 21,290 vehicles it is among the smaller campaigns on this list, but the safety function involved makes the notice worth acting on.
6. Jeep Wrangler: Over One Million Vehicles
The Wrangler and Gladiator recall covers over 1 million vehicles because of a power steering wiring fire risk, with 51 fires and one injury reported, according to a late-August roundup.
At that scale, the campaign is the largest on this list. Owners of either model can look up a VIN to see whether it is covered, and the 51 reported fires give a reason not to postpone the repair once a remedy is offered. Because the recall spans two models, owners of a Gladiator should not assume it applies only to the Wrangler.
7. Mercedes-Benz C-Class: Door Lock Rollaway Risk
Mercedes-Benz recalled 310,667 A-Class, C-Class and related models from 2019-2026 for a rollaway risk from door lock failure, as listed in the Aug. 24 recall roundup.
A rollaway risk means a parked vehicle could move unintentionally, so owners of covered cars should treat the notice seriously. The summary does not spell out the remedy, so details would need to come from Mercedes-Benz or from NHTSA’s recall records. The model span runs across eight years, so a wide range of used cars could be involved, not just the newest ones.
8. Tesla Model Y: Headlights Too Bright
Some 20,349 Tesla vehicles, the Model 3 from 2017-2023 and the Model Y from 2020-2023, were recalled because the low beams exceed the federal brightness limit, per an Aug. 24 weekly roundup.
The problem is excess brightness rather than a loss of lighting, though glare matters to oncoming drivers. The source gives no remedy details, so owners of the covered years would need to consult Tesla or NHTSA to learn how the fix will be handled. Both models are covered, with different year ranges, so owners should match the specific year rather than the model name alone.
9. Ford Explorer: Moving Second-Row Seat
A second-row seat that may move led to a recall of 387,911 Explorers and Lincoln Aviators from 2020-2027, according to the same Aug. 24 roundup.
The Lincoln Aviator shares the recall, so owners of either vehicle should check. The source offers only a short description, so the details of how the seat may move, and the fix itself, would come from the maker’s notice or from NHTSA. The model-year range stretches across eight years, so a used Explorer bought from a prior owner is worth checking too.
10. Toyota Camry Hybrid: Cluster Display Failure
NHTSA lists 508,354 2025-2026 Camry Hybrids where the instrument cluster display may fail during startup, deactivating the hazard lights and turn signals, in NHTSA campaign record 26V511.
Behind the Wrangler and Gladiator recall, it is the second-largest filing on this list. Losing hazard lights and turn signals removes signals other drivers rely on, so owners should check a VIN against the NHTSA record rather than assume the car is unaffected. The recall covers only 2025-2026 model years, making it a newer-car issue compared with several older campaigns in this group.
