A warranty is often the most important document involved in vehicle purchases. The warranty embodies a manufacturer’s commitment to repair or replace specific components in the event of a malfunction or defect within a specified timeframe.

New vehicles from Acura come with an Acura manufacturer warranty that covers repairs for specific vehicle components.

Acura Warranty Overview

The Acura factory warranty for new Acura vehicles covers key vehicle systems like the powertrain, emissions system, electrical system, and more. The Acura new car warranty assures protection against expenses arising from manufacturing defects.

Warranty	Term
Acura Bumper to Bumper Warranty	4 years or 50,000 miles
Acura Powertrain Warranty	5 years or 60,000 miles
Acura Emissions Warranty	Varies (see details below)
Acura Rust Warranty	6 years or 100,000 miles
Acura Seat Belt Warranty	6 years or 72,000 miles
Acura Hybrid Powertrain Warranty	8 years or 100,000 miles

What Does the Acura Warranty Cover for New Cars?

This Acura warranty information applies to 2023 Acura vehicles and beyond. For specific inquiries about your Acura’s warranty coverage, we highly recommend referring to your Owner’s Manual or visiting the Acura Owners Site.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

The Acura bumper-to-bumper warranty covers your Acura for up to four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This comprehensive warranty includes most components of the vehicle, encompassing both mechanical and electrical parts. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, cosmetic flaws, additional fluids, maintenance items (such as filters or brake pads/linings), tires, or broken/chipped window glass.

Powertrain Limited Warranty

The Acura Powertrain Warranty extends up to six years or 70,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

It specifically protects major components like the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. Essentially, the powertrain warranty ensures that essential systems in your Acura are safeguarded.

Emissions Warranties

Federal Emissions Warranty

The Federal Emissions Warranty, mandated by the Clean Air Act, provides coverage for parts related to meeting federal emissions standards. This Acura Emissions warranty lasts for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. All components covered under this warranty are also included in the bumper-to-bumper warranty.

California Emissions Warranty

The California Emissions Warranty applies to Acura vehicles registered and operated in California or in other states that have adopted California emissions warranty regulations. Like the Federal Emissions Warranty, it lasts for three years or 36,000 miles.

This warranty ensures that the emission control systems in new Acura vehicles conform to all published Canadian Federal and Provincial emission control standards. Feel free to explore these warranties further in your Owner’s Manual or visit the Acura Owners Site for more comprehensive information.

Seat Belt Limited Warranty

If any seat belt component fails to function properly during normal use, Acura will repair or replace it under the Acura seat belt warranty. This warranty covers the seat belt assembly for either 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, replacements due to comfort or cosmetic reasons do not qualify under this warranty.

Rust Perforation Limited Warranty

The Acura rust warranty extends for five years with no mileage limit. In other words, if rust perforation occurs within this period, you will have Acura Warranty Coverage,

Hybrid Powertrain Limited Warranty

The Hybrid Powertrain Warranty ensures that the hybrid powertrain components in your Acura are protected. This warranty includes major hybrid powertrain components like the electric motor, battery, and associated systems. It extends for six years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first.

High Voltage Battery Capacity Limited Warranty

Gradual capacity loss of the high voltage battery is expected and not covered under warranty. If greater than normal degradation occurs, it is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles.

Accessory Limited Warranty

All Acura Genuine Accessories are covered for up to four years or 50,000 miles, depending on the time of installation.

Replacement/Remanufactured Parts Limited Warranty

If you purchase Acura Genuine Replacement Parts from an authorized Acura dealer, they are covered for at least one year. Genuine Remanufactured Parts are covered for up to three years or 36,000 miles, depending on the place of installation.

Replacement 12-Volt Battery Limited Warranty

A replacement 12-volt battery (other than a Hybrid Powertrain System battery) purchased from an authorized Acura dealer is covered by a 100-month (8 years and 4 months) limited warranty.

Replacement Exhaust Components Lifetime Limited Warranty

This warranty covers replacement exhaust components for the lifetime of your Acura.

Common Acura Warranty Repairs

The following are common Acura warranty repairs:

• Battery Replacement: Batteries can be affected by extreme temperatures. If you live in an area with high temperatures, your battery might be at increased risk.
• Brake System Maintenance: Frequent “start and stop hard” driving can impact your brakes and their connected systems. Regular brake inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure optimal performance.
• Wheel and Tire Repairs: Potholes, curbs, and road debris can cause damage to wheels and tires. Prompt repairs are necessary to maintain proper tire balance and prevent further issues.

Regular maintenance and timely repairs help keep your Acura running smoothly and extend its lifespan. If you experience any issues covered under warranty, consult an authorized Acura dealer for professional assistance.

What’s covered under the Acura CPO Warranty?

The Acura Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Warranty provides comprehensive coverage for pre-owned Acura vehicles. Here are the key details:

• Limited Warranty: The CPO Limited Warranty extends for up to seven years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
• Powertrain: This warranty covers major powertrain components, including the engine, transmission, and drivetrain.
• Non-Powertrain: The Acura CPO warranty includes coverage for various non-powertrain components.
• Roadside Assistance: The CPO warranty comes with additional benefits such as roadside assistance and trip interruption benefits. Acura provides two years or 100,000 miles of roadside assistance.
• Complimentary Services: Your first scheduled maintenance is free, including an oil change and more. Additionally, you also receive one free oil change within the first year of ownership.
• 7-Day Exchange Policy: If you are not satisfied with your CPO Acura, you have the option for a 7-day exchange.
• Deductible for Repairs: Acura’s CPO warranty has a $0 deductible for repairs.

These warranty details apply specifically to Acura Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles. For specific inquiries about your CPO Acura’s coverage, consult your Acura dealer or refer to the official warranty information.

What is NOT covered under an Acura Manufacturer Warranty?

Here are the exclusions and items not covered under the Acura Manufacturer Warranty:

• Normal Wear and Tear: The warranty does not cover the normal wear or deterioration of any part due to regular usage. Components that naturally degrade over time are not eligible for warranty repairs.
• Cleaning and Polishing: Costs related to cleaning, polishing, or cosmetic enhancements are not covered.
• Fluids: Unless fluids are necessary as part of a covered repair, they are generally not covered. Regular fluid changes (such as oil, coolant, or brake fluid) are considered maintenance items.
• Broken, Chipped, or Scratched Window Glass: Damage to window glass, including chips, cracks, or scratches, is not part of the warranty coverage.

Always consult your Owner’s Manual or visit the Acura Owners Site for detailed information on warranty coverage for your Acura vehicle.

What is an Acura Extended Warranty?

An Acura Extended Warranty, also known as Acura Care® Vehicle Service Contract (VSC), offers additional coverage beyond the original warranty for Acura vehicles. The Acura Care VSC can extend coverage for up to eight years or 120,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

This extended warranty from Acura includes repairs for specific components due to mechanical breakdowns, just like the standard factory warranty. Acura Care can be purchased before the original warranty expires and only from an authorized Acura dealership.

Stellantis has issued a recall of over 200,000 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 vehicles due to a critical manufacturing flaw posing a significant safety risk. The defect involves the potential rupture of airbags, leading to the ejection of metal fragments that could result in severe harm or even fatalities for passengers.

According to recall documents from Fiat Chrysler America (FCA) to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the investigation into the inflator issue commenced last month, revealing that certain vehicles may have been affected by moisture infiltration into the inflator assembly.

This moisture has led to corrosion, significantly increasing the risk of rupturing. In the event of a rupture, the inflator could expel compressed gas and material throughout the vehicle, posing a grave danger to occupants. As such, owners of affected vehicles are strongly advised to take immediate action.

Recall Information	Details
Total Vehicles Recalled	284,982 potentially involved vehicles
Description of Noncompliance	Some 2018-2021 MY Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 vehicles may have been built with a side air bag inflatable curtain (“SABIC”) inflator that may rupture.
Stellantis Contact Number	1-800-853-1403
NHTSA Recall Number	24V198
Manufacturer Recall Number	19B
Owner Notification Letters	May 3, 2024

FCA has reported to the NHTSA that there have been no accidents or injuries associated with the airbag inflator defect. Owners will be notified of the 2024 Exploding Airbag Recall beginning May 3, 2024.

What causes the Dodge Airbag Problem?

According to NHTSA, any rupturing of the airbag inflator can cause the release of sharp metal fragments, posing a direct threat to vehicle occupants, with the potential for causing serious injury or even fatalities. The rupture of the inflator mechanism compromises the integrity of the airbag system, transforming what should be a safety feature into a potential hazard.

Here’s what’s included in the Exploding Airbag Recall

The Exploding Airbag Recall encompasses a total of 284,982 vehicles, specifically targeting select models of the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 manufactured between 2018 and 2021. The affected vehicles are as follows:

• Chrysler 300 sedans produced between July 5, 2018, and May 19, 2021.
• Dodge Charger sedans manufactured between July 5, 2018, and May 20, 2021.

A Stop sale order is currently in effect for the above-identified vehicles.

You can use the NHTSA’s recall verification site to check if your vehicle is part of the recall. Inputting your car’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the NHTSA’s website should yield recall information. Given the frequent issuance of recalls by automakers, especially for older vehicles, we advise periodically checking for updated safety notifications.

Here’s what’s NOT included in the Chrysler and Dodge Airbag Recall

The Chrysler and Dodge Airbag Recall specifically targets vehicles manufactured between 2018 and 2021. If your Chrysler or Dodge falls outside of this range and you have concerns about your airbag system, you should contact the manufacturer. Drivers can contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403, referencing recall number 19B for assistance.

Alternatively, you can also seek assistance from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for further information. The NHTSA safety issue ID for this recall is 24V198, which can be monitored for updates.

What should I do if my Dodge or Chrysler was Recalled?

You are eligible to have your vehicle’s airbags replaced as part of the recall remedy, and Chrysler and Dodge dealerships will perform this service at no cost to you.

However, for those whose vehicles fall within the recall scope, it could be worth considering pursuing a lemon law claim. The issue of exploding airbags represents a significant manufacturing defect that can pose grave risks, including serious injury or even death in the event of an accident. Lemon law claims have been successful in cases involving far less severe vehicle issues.

Even if your vehicle isn’t part of the recall, but you’re experiencing recurring vehicle issues, pursuing a lemon law claim might also be your most viable recourse.

The 2024 Chrysler and Dodge airbag inflator recall follows closely on the heels of another significant recall by Stellantis, where more than 338,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees were recalled due to a ball joint issue that could compromise driver control, as previously discussed here. Stellantis has encountered its fair share of recalls stemming from manufacturing errors.

Given the potential dangers associated with airbag defects, prompt action is highly recommended. If you qualify for a lemon law claim against Chrysler or Dodge, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including a replacement vehicle, cash reimbursement, or a refund as a result of your defective vehicle, including the payment of your legal fees and costs.

Jeep has issued a recall of over 338,000 vehicles, covering model years 2021 to 2023 for the Grand Cherokee L and 2022 to 2023 for the Grand Cherokee SUVs.

This action was taken due to a potential suspension component defect that could cause a wheel to detach and dislodge outward from the vehicle.

The problem stems from a manufacturing oversight that may have resulted in bolt damage on the upper control arm. The upper control arm ball joint and the steering knuckle may separate if these bolts fail to hold. Such a separation could lead to a loss of control while driving.

Recall Information	Details
Total Vehicles Recalled	338,238 potentially involved vehicles
Description of Noncompliance	Some 2022-2023 MY Jeep Grand Cherokee Vehicles may have upper control arm (“UCA”) pinch bolts that were damaged during vehicle assembly.
Chrysler Contact Number	1-877-798-3752
NHTSA Recall Number	24V-132
Manufacturer Recall Number	10B
Owner Notification Letters	April 12, 2024

Chrysler has identified affected vehicles as being susceptible to losing control due to steering knuckle separation. Specifically, impacted vehicles may experience a detachment of the upper control arm ball joint from the steering knuckle, causing the wheel to disengage outward and potentially leading to a loss of vehicle control.

In documentation submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Jeep acknowledged that it had received 20 complaints about this problem. Fortunately, there have been no reported crashes or injuries so far. The company has taken proactive measures and plans to send notification letters to affected vehicle owners by April 12, 2024.

Here’s what falls under this recall

The following vehicles are included in the Jeep SUV Wheel Detachment Recall:

• 2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L SUVs manufactured from December 3, 2020, to May 30, 2023
• 2022-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs manufactured from December 19, 2021, to May 30, 2023

A damaged pinch bolt may have been installed during the assembly process, which poses a risk. This defect may cause the pinch bolt to break, resulting in a loss of clamp load between the upper control arm ball joint and the steering knuckle.

Such a failure could cause the wheel to dislodge outward, resulting in a serious accident. As of January 24, 2024, FCA US was aware of one customer assistance record, 18 warranty claims, and one field report that could be related to this issue in all markets.

Here’s what does not fall under this recall

Vehicles that are similar but not included in this recall were either manufactured at a different plant that used a more robust torque strategy, or they were built after the suspected time period.

Visit the NHTSA recall check website to see if there are any open recalls for your vehicle. If no recall appears, it means that your vehicle currently has no open recalls. Given that automakers frequently issue recalls, particularly for older vehicles, we strongly advise you to check back on a regular basis to stay up to date on any new recalls issued for your vehicle.

How do you fix the Jeep Detached Wheel issue?

Jeep dealerships will inspect the pinch bolts and, if necessary, replace them at no cost to the owner. For further assistance, owners can contact Jeep directly at 800-853-1403. The NHTSA campaign number for this recall is 24V132. Jeep has designated the recall as 10B for reference purposes.

This month marks the third time Jeep has issued a recall for the current generation of Grand Cherokee. Nearly 200K models, including certain 2021-’24 Jeep Wranglers, may have problems with their windshield defrosting and defogging systems, and 9433 Grand Cherokees may have high-beam headlights that fail to activate.

New models of the Jeep Grand Cherokee were recently included in a Jeep Grand Cherokee Steering Recall 2023 and a Jeep Grand Cherokee Suspension Recall 2023.

Recalls are becoming increasingly common, in certain cases, it is worth determining whether you are eligible for a lemon law claim instead of a recall resolution.

If you live in California and are dealing with persistent structural issues in your Jeep despite multiple repair attempts, you may be eligible for compensation under California’s lemon law. The Lemon Law Experts specialize in assisting consumers like you in obtaining the justice and recovery you deserve.

Land Rover has issued a recall affecting over 58,000 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport SUVs produced between 2018 and 2022. The Range Rover Sport Reverse Camera recall addresses a manufacturing concern involving the backup camera unit in affected vehicles, specifically those equipped with surround-view technology, where the cameras may fail to display a clear image.

The root of the problem lies in water intrusion into the rear camera unit, which can cause the Range Rover Sport reversing camera to display a blurred image or no image at all.

This manufacturing defect can pose significant safety risks, as drivers may lose visibility of pedestrians or obstacles behind their vehicles.

Recall Information	Details
Total Vehicles Recalled	58,729
Description of Noncompliance	A concern has been identified on certain Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles where the reversing camera will display a poor image or no image at all because of water ingress into the camera housing/bezel. In an intermittent or failed state, the rear camera image display does not meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 111, Rear Visibility.
Land Rover Contact Number	1-800-637-6837
NHTSA Recall Number	24V023
Manufacturer Recall Number	N778
Owner Notification Letters	March 8, 2024

Land Rover dealerships across the U.S. were informed of the Range Rover Sport backup camera recall on February 1, 2024, with owners receiving notifications shortly after or on March 8, 2024.

Authorized Jaguar Land Rover repair centers will conduct inspections and, if necessary, replace the affected camera units with new seals. Fortunately, there have been no reported crashes or injuries associated with this issue, as per documentation provided to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) by Land Rover.

Here’s what falls under this recall

A total of 58,729 vehicles are affected by this recall. This encompasses 36,461 Range Rover models produced from the model years 2018-2022, manufactured between July 5, 2017, and December 10, 2021. Additionally, 22,268 Range Rover Sport models from the model years 2018-2022 fall under this recall, built between May 25, 2017, and April 28, 2022.

Here’s what DOESN’T fall under this recall

Vehicles not affected by this recall include any Range Rover or Range Rover Sport models outside the specified production periods mentioned.

Additionally, any Range Rover or Range Rover Sport units equipped with backup camera systems not prone to the identified issue are also exempt from this recall. Please consult your vehicle manufacturer or dealership if you have any doubts regarding your vehicle’s status.

What’s wrong with the Range Rover Surround Camera System?

Land Rover acknowledges a rising number of field reports concerning Range Rover reversing camera problems, particularly towards the latter part of 2022.

As a result, the manufacturer launched a thorough investigation into the matter. By February 2023, it was discovered that alterations had been made to the camera design during the 2018 model year. Subsequent investigations and rigorous testing revealed a critical flaw: the camera may not have been adequately sealed, facilitating water ingress into the system.

How do you fix the Range Rover Sport Backup Camera Issue?

Land Rover states that it will replace the defective seal to prevent water infiltration into the camera system. If deemed necessary, the backup camera itself will also be replaced. This service comes at no cost to the owners, as is customary for recall repairs.

Owners can anticipate receiving Land Rover surround camera recall notifications via mail on March 8, 2024. Owners can schedule their vehicles for vehicle repairs by contacting Land Rover at 800-637-6837 and referencing recall number N778. NHTSA’s campaign number for this recall is 24V023.

In a technical service bulletin (TSB) issued to Land Rover dealerships, the manufacturer recommended constructing a water ingress sealing for the rear-view camera unit.

The instructions detail installing a new rear-view camera using a special sealing tape. After cutting and folding the tape to a specific size, it’s applied to a designated location and pressed firmly. Another piece of tape is then cut and placed on the new camera before it’s installed with its clamp. Finally, all the clips on the clamp need to be secured.

How to Check for Range Rover Recalls

You can easily check for any open recalls affecting your vehicle by visiting the NHTSA’s recall check website. Simply input your car’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the website’s search tool.

If no recalls are listed, it indicates that your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Since automakers frequently issue recalls, even for older vehicles, we recommend revisiting the website periodically to stay updated on any new recalls that may affect your vehicle.

Given the potential safety implications associated with a malfunctioning rear camera system, such as a lack of visibility of objects or pedestrians behind the vehicle, prompt action is crucial. If your Range Rover Reverse camera is not working correctly, be sure to schedule your vehicle’s recall repairs as soon as possible to mitigate any potential risks of accidents or collisions.

Tesla Inc. has issued a recall affecting a staggering 2.2 million vehicles across the United States due to font size discrepancies in warning lights, as identified by federal safety regulators. This recall arises from concerns that the current font sizes may impede the quick and accurate interpretation of critical safety information displayed on the instrument panel, potentially posing risks to driver safety.

A routine audit conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) exposed the font size issue. The affected vehicles, primarily circulating in US markets, exhibit font sizes below the mandated standards for crucial warning indicators such as Brake, Park, and Antilock Brake System (ABS).

This non-compliance with prescribed font size standards outlined in FMVSS No. 135, S5.5.5(a), prompted Tesla to launch an exhaustive investigation into its manufacturing processes and software configurations.

Recall Information	Details
Total Vehicles Recalled	2,193,869 potentially involved vehicles
Description of Noncompliance	The letter font size of the Brake, Park, and Antilock brake system (ABS) visual warning signs is less than 3.2 mm (1/8 inch), as specified in FMVSS Nos. 105 and 135.
Tesla Contact Number	1-877-798-3752
NHTSA Recall Number	24V-051
Manufacturer Recall Number	SB-24-00-003
Owner Notification Letters	March 30, 2024

Here is what’s included in the 2024 Tesla Font Recall

The following vehicles are included in the 2024 Tesla Recall Font Size:

• Model S (2012-2023)
• Model X (2016-2024)
• Model 3 (2017-2023)
• Model Y (2019-2024)
• Cybertruck (2024)

These vehicles have been identified as part of the font size recall, indicating font size discrepancies in warning indicators such as Brake, Park, and Antilock Brake System (ABS) lights. Tesla owners with affected models are advised to take appropriate action as per Tesla’s directives to address these font size issues promptly.

How do you fix the Tesla Warning Lights Font Size?

Tesla has developed a solution for the Tesla Warning Lights Font Size issue through an over-the-air (OTA) software update, eliminating the need for Tesla owners to visit service centers. While the recall covers most Tesla vehicles on US roads, not all models are affected.

Included in the recall are the 2024 Cybertruck pickup, Model X, and Model Y SUVs up to the current 2024 model year, as well as Model S and Model 3 sedans up to the 2023 model year.

Affected vehicles will receive the necessary software remedy at no cost to customers. The OTA software update, initiated with the software release 2023.44.30.13 in late January 2024, addresses the font size issue by increasing the letter size of Brake, Park, and Antilock Brake System (ABS) warning signs to meet the specifications outlined in FMVSS Nos. 105 and 135, ensuring a font size no smaller than 3.2 mm (1/8 inch).

Regarding reimbursement to owners, Tesla has determined that no pre-notice reimbursement is necessary since the remedy is provided free of charge, and there is no paid repair associated with the underlying condition.

Tesla Inc. has communicated the font size correction procedure to its dealerships through a service bulletin. Owners can initiate the font size adjustment process through their vehicle touchscreen interface. If the vehicle is operating with the specified software version or a later version, no further action is required. However, if the vehicle is running on an earlier software version, owners are instructed to update the software to the specified version or later. The detailed software version requirements and correction codes are provided below:

• Legacy Model S Tegra software version 2022.8.10.17
• Legacy Model S Intel Atom software version 2024.2.2.1
• Palladium Model S software version 2024.2.2.1
• Legacy Model X Tegra software version 2022.8.10.17
• Legacy Model X Intel Atom software version 2024.2.2.1
• Palladium Model X software version 2024.2.2.1
• Model 3 software version 2024.2.2.1
• Model Y software version 2024.2.2.1
• Cybertruck software version 2024.2.2.1

Owners are advised to refer to the service manual procedure 00020003 for detailed instructions. Corrections codes S012400003 and S022400003 are to be used accordingly based on the vehicle’s software version.

Here is what’s NOT included in the 2024 Tesla Font Recall

While the 2024 Tesla Font Size Recall encompasses a significant number of vehicles, there are exclusions to note. If your vehicle is not listed in the recall, your model or year has not been identified as having font size issues with warning lights.

Consequently, no action is required on your part regarding this specific recall. We recommend staying vigilant about any future communications from Tesla or relevant regulatory authorities regarding recalls or safety-related matters that may apply to your vehicle.

For peace of mind and to stay informed about your vehicle’s status, consider registering your Tesla with the manufacturer and keeping your contact information up to date.

This ensures you receive timely notifications regarding any potential recalls or service campaigns that may affect your vehicle in the future. Additionally, routinely checking Tesla’s official site or NHTSA’s recall check website can provide you with the latest information on recalls and other updates relevant to your vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz is set to recall over 100,000 vehicles due to an issue involving an improperly secured 48-volt ground connection, as reported by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Wednesday. This marks the latest in a series of recalls by the renowned German automaker over the past month. Fortunately, there have been no reported crashes or injuries attributed to this defect, according to Mercedes-Benz. The manufacturer will contact affected drivers starting April 16, 2024.

Recall Information	Details
Total Vehicles Recalled	105,071 potentially involved vehicles
Description of Noncompliance	Certain 2020–2023 GLE/GLS vehicles (167 platform) equipped with the 6-cylinder gasoline engine and 9-speed transmission, the transmission control unit software might not meet current production specifications.
Mercedes Benz Contact Number	1-877-496-3691
NHTSA Recall Number	24V-118

Last year alone, Mercedes-Benz recalled a staggering 478,175 vehicles in the U.S., according to data from the NHTSA. Across various brands, the total recall population for 2023 totaled over 23.7 million vehicles.

What is wrong with the Mercedes Benz Transmission?

The engine may stall if the downshift from seventh to sixth gear is not completed while the vehicle is being gently braking simultaneously and there are other conditions (such as an aborted shift operation, low transmission oil temperature, or simultaneous recovery by the 48V starter-alternator). This may result in the car losing power and increases the possibility of an accident. The engine can be started again once the car comes to a stop.

What’s Included in the 2024 Mercedes Transmission Recall

The 2024 Mercedes Transmission recall pertains to select Mercedes-Benz models, including GLE and GLS vehicles from the 2020 to 2023 model years. These vehicles are equipped with a loose 48-volt ground connection, specifically wiring linked to the negative terminal on a battery, situated beneath the passenger seat.

The issue with Mercedes Benz transmission arises during a specific downshifting scenario from 7th to 6th gear. If this downshift isn’t fully completed while the vehicle experiences slight braking and certain additional conditions occur (such as an aborted shift operation, low transmission oil temperature, or simultaneous recuperation by the 48V starter-alternator), it can result in engine stalling. Consequently, the vehicle loses propulsion, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.

The vehicle’s steering and braking systems can remain fully operational even when the vehicle’s engine is stalling. This ensures that drivers retain control over steering and braking, mitigating the severity of potential accidents. Once the vehicle comes to a standstill, the engine can be restarted.

What’s NOT Included in the 2024 Mercedes Transmission Recall

The recall population was determined through examination of production records. Vehicles outside of the recall population have transmission control unit software that meets current production specifications.

If your vehicle is not included in the recall, this means that its transmission control unit software aligns with the latest production standards. Essentially, this indicates that your vehicle meets the current specifications for transmission performance and reliability.

To confirm whether your vehicle is part of the recall or not, we recommend using the NHTSA’s recall check tool. This online resource allows you to enter your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to verify its recall status, ensuring that you stay informed about any potential safety issues affecting your vehicle.

How do you Fix the Transmission Problem?

Affected customers can address the transmission problem by visiting authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships. Technicians will conduct a comprehensive inspection and rectify the issue by tightening the wiring at absolutely no charge. Authorized dealerships will proceed with updating the transmission control unit software in potentially affected vehicles.

To comply with regulations outlined in 49 C.F.R. § 577.11, Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) plans to notify owners regarding prenotice reimbursement, especially for vehicles that may have previously experienced the described condition. Dealerships were notified about the upcoming voluntary recall campaign on February 23, 2024. In a technical service bulletin (TSB) to dealerships, Mercedes-Benz offered the following instructions to update your vehicle’s Transmission Control software if you encounter transmission problems:

• Always use the most recent XENTRY Diagnosis software release, including any available add-ons.
• Complete the operation procedures exactly as specified in XENTRY Diagnosis.
• Use a charger to deliver enough power to the vehicle’s on-board electrical battery system (more than 12.5 V).
• If XENTRY Diagnosis is already connected to the car, begin with the Work Procedure.
• If two or more software updates or SCN codings are executed during the same workshop visit, operation items 02-4762 and 02-5058 may be charged on only one of the workshop orders.

Work Procedure

1. Connect XENTRY Diagnosis.
2. Upgrade the transmission control unit software to support 9-speed transmission (completely integrated transmission control). To do this, click the menu option ‘Quick test view → Y3/8 – transmission control for 9-speed transmission (completely integrated transmission control) – Intelligent Predictive Repair – Maintenance → Adaptations → Control unit update → Update of control unit software.’ Then follow the user instructions in XENTRY Diagnosis.

Mercedes-Benz has recently issued multiple recalls, including one for over 105,000 GLE and GLS vehicles due to a faulty transmission, potentially leading to engine stalling and increased crash risks. Additionally, nearly 32,000 vehicles have also been recalled for a defective fuse causing sudden power loss or loss of critical safety functions.

If you are experiencing ongoing transmission issues with a Mercedes-Benz vehicle purchased or leased in California, it may qualify as a “lemon” under the state’s Lemon Law. This legislation protects consumers who face persistent problems with new or pre-owned vehicles that the manufacturer can’t resolve. California’s Lemon Law covers both new and used vehicles under the manufacturer’s warranty, offering consumers options for replacement or refund if their vehicle is deemed a lemon.

In February 2024, the Volkswagen Group announced a recall of over 260,000 Volkswagen and Audi vehicles due to a defective suction pump in the fuel tank assembly, potentially causing fuel leakage.

This issue primarily impacts front-wheel-drive models equipped with a specific suction jet pump manufactured by Gentherm. The decision follows an investigation initiated by U.S. safety regulators, prompted by 79 complaints of fuel leaks.

A defective suction pump can pose a significant safety risk, as leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source can result in a vehicle fire. Owners are urged to take immediate action if they notice difficulties during refueling, such as fuel spillage or premature pump shutdown, accompanied by a noticeable gasoline odor.

The 2024 VW Fuel Pump Recall encompasses several models spanning from 2015 to 2020, including the Audi A3 sedan and convertible models from 2015 to 2020, the Volkswagen Jetta GLI sedan from 2019 to 2020, the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen station wagon from 2015 to 2019, and the Volkswagen Golf and GTI hatchbacks from 2015 to 2020.

According to documents provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there have been 1,410 warranty claims related to the issue, with repair dates ranging from May 2016 to December of the previous year.

What’s not included in the 2024 Volkswagen Fuel Pump Recall?

The 2024 Volkswagen Fuel Pump Recall focuses on specific front-wheel-drive vehicles equipped with a particular suction jet pump (Version 1.0 or 1.1) installed in the fuel tank assembly. Excluded from the recall are all-wheel-drive vehicles and vehicles lacking the specified suction jet pump (Version 1.0 or 1.1) installation. The estimated percentage of vehicles involved with the defect is less than 1%.

Not sure if your Audi or VW vehicle is affected? You can verify if your vehicle has an open recall using the NHTSA’s recall site. By inputting your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s recall check site, you can determine if a recall exists.

If no recall appears, this indicates your vehicle is not currently subject to one. Given that automakers frequently issue recalls, we recommend regular checking to see if your vehicle is included in any open recalls.

How do you fix the Volkswagen Fuel Pump issue?

Volkswagen and Audi dealerships will replace the defective suction jet pump with an upgraded version at no cost to the owners. Vehicles previously recalled for a similar defect in 2016 will also require the new fix. Both automakers acknowledge 1,410 warranty claims associated with the issue.

The NHTSA campaign number associated with this recall is 24V110. Volkswagen’s designated recall code is 20UF, while Audi’s is 20YF. Owners can contact Volkswagen at 800-893-5298 or Audi at 800-253-2834 for assistance.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has identified a critical flaw in certain Honda vehicles, where frontal and knee airbags may deploy unintentionally during a crash, posing a significant risk of injury to occupants, particularly infants in car seats, children, and individuals under 4 feet 11 inches in height.

In response, Honda Motor Company has announced a recall of over 750,000 cars, SUVs, minivans, and pickups. The following table includes key details of the 2024 Honda Airbag Recall:

Recall Information	Details
Total Vehicles Recalled	750,114

Owner Notification Letters	March 18, 2024
Recall Campaign Number	24V064000
Honda Recall Identification	XHP, VHQ
Honda Contact Number	888-234-2138

Documents published by the NHTSA reveal that a capacitor within the printed circuit board of the front passenger seat weight sensor may develop cracks due to exposure to environmental humidity, increasing the risk of a short circuit. As of January 25, 2024, Honda has recorded 3,834 warranty claims related to this issue, with no reports of injuries or fatalities. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be sent out on or by March 18, 2024.

Here’s what’s included in the 2024 Honda and Acura Airbag Recall

The following is a list of Honda vehicles included in the Honda Airbag Recall:

• Accord (2020-2022)

• Civic Coupe (2020)

• TLX (2020-2021)

The chronology of events leading to the recall dates back to August 20, 2020, when Honda received its first warranty claim related to the issue. Despite initial investigations and monitoring, it wasn’t until January 25, 2024, that Honda determined the existence of a safety defect, prompting the recall.

Here’s what’s not included in the Honda airbag 2024 recall

Vehicles not included in Honda recalls for airbag issues are not affected by the specific issue identified by the manufacturer. In the context of the 2024 Airbag Recall for Honda, vehicles not included would typically be those that either do not have the defective component or those that have already received a remedy for the issue. Here are some scenarios where a vehicle might not be included in a recall notice:

• Different Model/Year: If a vehicle is a different model or model year from those listed in the recall notice, it might not be included. Manufacturers typically specify the affected models and years in their recall notices.
• Already Repaired: If a vehicle has already undergone repairs for the issue addressed in the recall, it might not be included in subsequent recall notices. This is because the necessary remedy has already been applied to mitigate the problem.
• Different Component: If a vehicle has a different component or configuration that is not affected by the recall issue, it might not be included. Recall notices usually specify the specific components or systems that are subject to the recall.
• No Open Recalls: If a vehicle’s VIN is checked on the NHTSA’s website or through other means, and no open recalls are found, it means that the vehicle is not currently subject to any recall notices.
• Manufactured After Fix Implemented: If a vehicle was manufactured after the manufacturer implemented a fix for the issue, it might not be included in the recall. Vehicles produced after the implementation of the remedy would already have the corrected component installed.

We highly recommend that vehicle owners regularly check for recall notices and keep their contact information updated with the manufacturer to ensure they receive timely notifications if their vehicle is ever subject to a recall.

While the 2024 Honda airbag recall affects a significant number of models, please note that not all Honda vehicles are included in this recall. If you are unsure whether your vehicle falls under the recall, you can verify its status by visiting the NHTSA’s website and inputting your car’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). If no recall is listed, it indicates that your vehicle is not currently subject to any open recalls.

How to fix the Airbag Recall issue

Owners of affected vehicles will be notified via mail and instructed to visit authorized Honda or Acura dealers for a replacement of the faulty seat weight sensor with a non-defective part. Those who have previously incurred expenses for these repairs may be eligible for reimbursement.

The remedy components will have printed circuit boards constructed with the original, verified base material, differing from the recalled components. Production adjustments to correct the issue were made effective January 7, 2022.

For further assistance or inquiries regarding the recall, individuals can contact Honda directly at 888-234-2138. Honda’s customer service representatives will provide guidance and support to affected vehicle owners, assisting them with any questions or concerns they may have about the recall process.

The NHTSA has assigned the recall campaign number 24V064000. Additionally, Honda has designated the recall with its own identification numbers, namely XHP and VHQ. These reference numbers are essential for tracking and managing the recall process effectively.

Hyundai has announced a recall affecting over 90,000 Genesis vehicles, cautioning owners to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until necessary repairs are completed. The Genesis Fire Recall encompasses specific models, including the 2015-2016 Genesis, 2017-2019 Genesis G80, Genesis G90, and 2019 Genesis G70 vehicles.

Recall Information	Details
Manufacturer	Hyundai Motor America
Submission Date	February 13, 2024
NHTSA Recall Number	24V-107
Recall No.	254 (H), 018G (G)
Owner Notification Date	April 13, 2024

As highlighted in a notification from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall stems from the potential infiltration of water into the starter solenoid, which could precipitate an electrical short circuit, leading to engine compartment fires—whether during vehicle operation or while parked.

Symptoms that drivers of affected vehicles may encounter include smoke emerging from the engine compartment, a burning or melting odor, and difficulties starting the engine.

This recall represents the most recent in a series of fire-related recalls involving Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles—each operating under the same corporate parentage. Notably, Genesis serves as Hyundai’s luxury brand, while Hyundai maintains the largest share in Kia Motors. Given this interconnectedness, it’s common for these brands to share both parts and design elements.

Genesis Fire Hazard

The starter solenoid issue arises when vehicles are driven in flooded or excessively wet conditions, allowing water to penetrate the starter solenoid, a crucial part of the ignition system. This can cause an electrical short circuit, leading to a fire in the engine compartment.

Hyundai has acknowledged twelve “thermal incidents” related to starters occurring in the U.S. between September 29, 2017, and July 9, 2023. These incidents typically involve smoke, component melting, or fires. Although the exact number of fires wasn’t specified, there have been no reported crashes or injuries. Notification letters will be sent to affected owners by April 13.

Here is what falls under the Genesis Starter Solenoid Recall

The recall includes the following vehicles:

• Hyundai Genesis (2015-2016)
• Genesis G80 (2017-2019)
• Genesis G90 (2017-2019)
• Genesis G70 (2019)

If you own any of these vehicles, we highly advise taking appropriate action to address the recall and ensure the safety and performance of your vehicle. Contact your nearest Hyundai dealership or refer to the notification letter for instructions on scheduling a remedy appointment.

Here is what does not fall under the Genesis Starter Solenoid Recall

While the recall addresses specific issues related to the starter solenoid, it’s essential to note that not all vehicle problems are covered. For instance, if your vehicle exhibits symptoms related to the starter solenoid, but is not included in the affected models or years, it would not fall under the recall.

We recommend staying informed about your vehicle’s status regarding recalls. You can easily determine if your vehicle is affected by visiting the NHTSA’s website and inputting your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN). If no recall appears, it means your vehicle is not currently affected by the starter solenoid recall.

Please note however, that just because there are no open recalls on your vehicle now does not mean it won’t have any in the future. Automakers frequently issue recalls for various reasons, so it is wise to check back regularly for updates.

Additionally, regular maintenance and attention to other potential issues beyond the scope of the recall are essential for the overall safety and performance of your Hyundai Genesis. If you notice any unusual symptoms or experience problems with your vehicle, we advise consulting with a qualified mechanic for proper diagnosis and repair.

What is the fix for the Genesis Fire Recall?

Owners of the affected vehicles can continue to drive their vehicles; however, Hyundai strongly advises parking these vehicles outside and away from structures until the recall remedy fix is completed. The remedy consists of dealers installing a relay kit in the engine junction box, and there will be no charge to the owner for this service.

Notification letters informing owners of the recall will be dispatched on or by April 13, 2024. For further assistance, owners can contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. The recall identification numbers for Hyundai are 254(H) and 018G(G).

In December 2023, Honda initiated a recall affecting a significant number of CR-V Hybrid SUVs manufactured between 2020 and 2022. This recall, affecting over 106,000 vehicles, was prompted by the discovery of a critical defect linked to the absence of a vital fuse.

This defect poses a severe risk of cable overheating or short-circuiting, particularly in collision scenarios. Notably, the affected cable is part of the 12-volt starter battery system, raising concerns regarding potential fire hazards.

Recall Information	Details
Affected Vehicles	CR-V Hybrid SUVs manufactured between August 8, 2019, and June 9, 2022
NHTSA Campaign Number	23V844
Honda’s Recall Code	FGB
Owner Notification Date	January 29, 2024

The absence of the necessary fuse in the cable connecting to the 12-volt starter battery has raised alarm regarding the safety of these vehicles, especially under crash conditions.

While there have been no reported injuries associated with this issue, the potential for overheating or short-circuiting remains a significant safety concern that requires immediate attention.

In other words, if you own a 2019-2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid SUV and you frequently encounter issues with overheating, your vehicle may be included in this recall and could be at increased risk of catching on fire in a collision.

Honda CRV Hybrid Problems

Documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have uncovered a significant issue concerning the Honda CRV Hybrid’s 12-volt battery cables.

These cables, which are routed outside the body frame, may lack a crucial fuse on the power circuit due to manufacturing error. This omission poses a notable safety hazard, as outlined by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

In the event of a collision, a short circuit may occur in the power circuit, which can then result in overheating of the battery cable, significantly increasing the risk of fire and potential injury.

In its defect notice submitted to the NHTSA, Honda stated that, “in the event of a crash impacting the left front fender area under specified conditions, there is a possibility of a short circuit in the power circuit, resulting in potential overheating of the battery cable and an increased risk of fire and/or injury.”

Here is what is covered in the Honda CRV Hybrid Recall

The Honda CR-V Hybrid recall encompasses a specific range of vehicles manufactured between August 8, 2019, and June 9, 2022. This recall is prompted by identified safety concerns pertaining to these vehicles.

It targets issues related to the 12-volt battery cables, specifically those routed outside the body frame without a necessary fuse on the power circuit. Dealer notifications for the recall were distributed by December 14, 2023, while owner notifications were scheduled to begin and conclude by January 29, 2024.

Recalls play a vital role in addressing potential defects that may jeopardize vehicle safety. These measures are crucial for maintaining the integrity of vehicles and ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers on the road.

Here is what is NOT covered in the Honda CRV Hybrid Recall

The following are not covered in the Honda CRV Hybrid Recall:

• Non-Affected Models: The recall specifically targets CR-V Hybrid SUVs manufactured between 2020 and 2022. Vehicles outside this range are not included in the recall and thus not subject to the replacement of the affected cable.
• Non-Relevant Components: While the recall addresses issues related to the absence of a fuse in the cable connecting to the 12-volt starter battery, it does not extend to other components of the vehicle’s electrical system. Any unrelated issues or concerns fall outside the scope of this recall.
• Non-Complimentary Services: While Honda dealerships will provide complimentary replacement services for the affected cable, any additional services or repairs unrelated to the recall may incur costs for vehicle owners. These non-recall-related services are not covered under the terms of this recall.

Honda Hybrid Battery Fire Fix

Authorized Honda dealerships will conduct the replacement of the faulty battery cable with an upgraded version featuring a 100-amp fuse, ensuring enhanced safety standards. Affected drivers are encouraged to reach out to Honda directly at 888-234-2138 for further assistance or to schedule the necessary replacement. This recall is identified by the NHTSA campaign number 23V844, with Honda’s designated code for the recall being FGB.

Utilize the NHTSA website to conveniently determine if your vehicle is subject to any open recalls. To use the NHTSA’s recall website, input your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) for prompt verification. Regular monitoring is recommended due to the frequent issuance of recalls by automakers, especially for older vehicles.

Registered owners of all affected vehicles will receive notification via mail, directing them to visit an authorized Honda dealer for the required replacement.

The dealer will seamlessly execute the replacement of the battery cable with the improved component. Additionally, owners who have previously incurred expenses for such repairs may be eligible for reimbursement under the recall reimbursement plan in compliance with NHTSA regulations.
