Safety recalls pile up quickly, and the latest batch reaches from family crossovers and heavy-duty pickups to a handful of sports cars. Each entry below rests on its own federal campaign record, with the number of affected vehicles and the nature of the defect. Here are twelve of the notable ones to check against a garage or driveway.

1. Volkswagen Atlas: Corroding Steering Bolt
Campaign 26V590 covers 208,724 vehicles, including the 2018 Tiguan, the 2018 and 2019 Atlas and the 2019 through 2021 Audi Q3. A steering-rack mounting bolt may corrode and break, so the recall notice warns of a possible loss of steering.
Owner letters are scheduled to go out on November 10. Anyone who drives one of these models in a region where roads are salted or damp should not wait for the letter, since a dealer can confirm whether the vehicle is included.
2. Ford Super Duty: Gauges That Mislead
Campaign 26V653 covers 102,159 trucks, with 91,588 of them Super Duty pickups, because analog gauges can give false readings. Ford will replace the instrument cluster at no charge.
Inaccurate readings can hide real problems like low fuel or an overheating engine. Heavy-duty trucks are often used for towing and work, so a gauge that lies could lead a driver into a bad situation far from help. The free cluster replacement removes that uncertainty once the work is done.
3. Rivian R1S: Camera Covered Up
Rivian recalled 98,828 vehicles in campaign 26V597, including 62,259 R1S SUVs, because a drive-mode notification can cover the backup-camera image while the vehicle is in reverse. The fix arrives as a free over-the-air update.
A blocked rearview image is a safety problem because drivers rely on the display to spot children, pets and obstacles behind them. The software remedy means owners may not need a service visit, but they should confirm the update has installed.
4. Volkswagen Tiguan: Sudden Stall Risk
Campaign 26V587 covers 49,958 Tiguans from the 2025 model year, and the problem is a software reset in the body control module. The reset can switch off the ignition and stall the engine.
Losing engine power without warning is especially dangerous in traffic or on a highway. Because the cause is software, the remedy is likely to be an update at a dealer, though owners should verify the details through the campaign number.
5. Cadillac Optiq: Windows That Pinch
Cadillac is recalling 29,347 Optiq crossovers from the 2025 through 2027 model years because key-fob express-up windows may not reverse on an obstruction. A passenger could be pinched.
Owner letters are expected on November 9. The risk is most obvious for children and pets in the car, and it is a reminder that convenience features need reliable safety stops to avoid injuring people. Owners should keep fingers and limbs clear of the glass until the repair has been completed.
6. Jaguar F-Pace: Losing Drive Power
Campaign 26V599 covers 23,677 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles from 2019 to 2024, including the F-Pace. A DC-DC converter overload can cut 12-volt charging and lead to a complete loss of drive power.
A vehicle that loses power while moving can leave drivers stranded in a lane of traffic. The campaign applies across more than one model line, so owners of related Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles should check their VIN.
7. Volvo EX30: Head Restraint Risk
Volvo is recalling 9,930 EX30 SUVs from the 2025 and 2026 model years, along with the 2026 EX30 Cross Country, because the front head-restraint cushion may detach during a crash. That could reduce protection in a collision.
Head restraints are meant to limit whiplash injuries, so a cushion that comes loose defeats its purpose at the worst moment. The recall is small next to the others here, but the potential consequence is serious for front-seat occupants.
8. Toyota C-HR: Overcharged Battery
Toyota recalled 8,521 vehicles in campaign 26V570 because a software error can overcharge the electric-drive battery and cause a loss of drive power. Owners were notified on October 18.
The C-HR is a small crossover often used for commuting, so a sudden loss of power could be hazardous at highway speeds. As with other software-based remedies, a dealer visit should address the problem without any major parts replacement. Owners can confirm eligibility by entering the vehicle identification number on the federal recall site.
9. Ram 2500: Stability Control Fault
Campaign 26V651 covers 8,329 Ram 2500 pickups from the 2026 model year, and a steering-column module fault can disable electronic stability control without warning. The driver may not realize the system is off.
Stability control helps prevent skids and rollovers, particularly for tall, heavy pickups on slick roads. Because the failure comes without a warning, owners of these trucks have a good reason to follow up with a dealer once notified.
10. Land Rover Range Rover Sport: Cracking Subframe
Campaign 26V613 covers 1,073 Range Rover Sport models from 2024 through 2026 because cracks may develop in the rear subframe. Dealers will inspect the part and replace it at no cost.
A cracked subframe can affect how a vehicle handles and holds together, so the free inspection matters even if nothing seems wrong. The population is small, which means it should be quick for dealers to work through the affected vehicles.
11. Toyota Grand Highlander: Steering Knuckle Cracks
Campaign 26V598 covers 617 vehicles, including the 2026 Grand Highlander and Lexus RX and TX models, because front steering knuckles may crack and break. The result could be a loss of steering control.
Owner letters are due on November 2. The count is the smallest on the list, yet a failure in a steering component is among the most serious types of defect, so prompt attention from affected owners is warranted.
12. Porsche 911: Do Not Drive Order
NHTSA campaign 26V682 was received on October 16 and tells the owners of 548 Porsches from 2024, including the 911 GT3 RS, 911 Turbo S and 718 Spyder RS, not to drive them. A center-lock wheel bolt may fracture and let a wheel detach.
A detached wheel at speed can cause a severe crash, which explains the unusually firm instruction. Owners are advised to leave the cars parked until repairs are done, and the notice stands out as the strongest warning in this group.
