NHTSA Posts New Recalls: Cadillac EV Brakes, Hyundai Air Bags
NHTSA posted new recalls for GM, Ford and Hyundai models, plus RVs and fire trucks. Here is which vehicles are affected and how to check a VIN.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has published a new batch of recalls, according to a roundup from WBIW. The largest names are General Motors, Ford and Hyundai, with additional campaigns covering RVs, electric trucks, fire apparatus and a generator maker.
Two of the recalls involve safety systems that may not work in a crash or when braking: a potential loss of braking in several GM electric models, and air bags and seat belt pretensioners that may fail to deploy in certain Hyundai cars.
The recalls by the numbers
- Recall 26V717 (General Motors): certain 2025 to 2026 Cadillac Celestiq, 2023 to 2027 Cadillac Lyriq, 2026 to 2027 Cadillac Vistiq and 2024 to 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV vehicles, because of a potential loss of braking.
- Recall 26V718 (General Motors): 2025 to 2026 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, because a steering gear assembly nut was not tightened properly.
- Recall 26V691 (Ford): 2025 to 2027 Lincoln Navigator vehicles, whose front passenger seats may move unexpectedly.
- Recall 26V728 (Hyundai Motor America): 2019 to 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric and 2019 to 2022 Veloster N models, where air bags and seat belt pretensioners may fail to deploy in a crash.
- Recall 26V719 (Mack Trucks): certain 2024 to 2026 Mack MD Electric trucks, where the hill start assist message may be incorrectly enabled.
RVs, fire apparatus and generators
Forest River has two recalls. Recall 26V704 covers many towable and camper lines: Cardinal (2024), Cedar Creek (2022 to 2027), FR3 (2023 to 2027), Hardside (2024 to 2026), Palomino (2023 to 2026), Palomino Real-Lite Camper (2024 to 2026), Puma (2026), Puma Tracks (2026), Shasta Oasis (2024) and Wildcat (2024). The cause is seating power cords that may lack adequate circuit protection. Recall 26V715 covers certain 2027 Forest River Pause models, where a fireplace has incorrect clearance.
Ferrara Fire Apparatus (26V709) and Spencer Manufacturing (26V729) each recalled various 2024 to 2026 fire and rescue apparatus because touch screen displays may fail. Affected models include the Ferrara Cinder, KME Panther, and Spencer Initial Attack, Pumper and Rescue lines. Cummins (26V713) recalled certain 2026 Cummins Power Generation generator sets because a voltage selector switch connection is loose.
What this means for owners
Only certain vehicles within each listed model and year range are included, so a matching model name does not confirm a vehicle is part of a recall. Owners can enter a VIN or license plate in NHTSA’s recall look-up tool at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether a vehicle has an open recall.
For an unrepaired recall, the repair is free at an authorized dealership, and owners can contact a local dealer to schedule it. The roundup did not give remedy details or owner letter dates for these campaigns, and the number of vehicles in each recall was not listed.
