Major car brands recall 585,000 vehicles over serious crash and fire concerns

Drivers are being warned of new vehicle recall notices which warn that hundreds of thousands of popular vehicles could put motorists at risk.

Major manufacturers, including Ford, Toyota and Nissan, are included in the latest batch of vehicle recalls amid issues that could increase the risk of a crash or a fire.

GB News has rounded up the most important car recalls of the past week that motorists need to know about.

Chrysler

According to new documents filed with the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Chrysler will be recalling around 298,000 Dodge Dart models manufactured between 2013 and 2016.

The recall warns that the shifter cable may detach from the transmission, preventing the vehicle from shifting into the park position.

It warns that this could cause a loss of the park function, with the vehicle more likely to roll away, increasing the risk of an accident.

Nissan

More than 173,000 vehicles are being recalled by the Japanese manufacturer, including certain 2013-2021 NV200 Van, 2014-2017, 2019 NV200 Taxi, and 2015-2018 Chevrolet City Express models.

Impacted cars may see the Fuel Tank Temperature sensor harness incorrectly routed. This can damage wires and cause a short circuit in the fuel pump fuse.

Affected owners will have their vehicles inspected by a dealer, who will reroute the FTT sensor harness or replace the fuel pump assembly, if necessary.

Ford

The Blue Oval brand has been forced to recall almost 60,000 models amid fears that an electrical short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.

Documents state: “The engine block heater may crack and develop a coolant leak, causing it to short circuit when the block heater is plugged in.”

The recall includes certain 2016-2019 Lincoln MKC, 2016-2023 Explorer, 2019-2020 Fusion, 2019-2024 Ranger, 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair, Escape, 2021-2024 Bronco, Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles.

Toyota

Owners of the 2025 Toyota Sienna hybrid can expect to receive a notification letter from the NHTSA over concerns that the second-row seat rails may be welded improperly.

In total, 54,631 vehicles are believed to be impacted, with Toyota noting in the recall documents that not all vehicles included were sold in the United States.

If the seat rails were not properly welded, it can prevent the seat from adequately restraining an occupant during a crash, heightening the risk of an injury.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
