Does my car have a recall? Ford, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and more have vehicles on recalls list
Is your car part of a recall?
Automakers issued several recalls for the week (Feb. 17-24), according to recall notices posted on the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.
Ford had the biggest car recall of the week with 330,784 Mustangs recalled to fix an issue with the backup camera, which can cause it to go blank or appear distorted and prevent drivers from seeing obstacles behind them.
More than 247,000 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty vehicles also were recalled because underbody heat and noise insulators may loosen and contact the aluminum driveshaft, which could damage the driveshaft and cause it to fracture.
U.S. auto safety regulators also said they are investigating complaints that the automatic emergency braking systems on more than 1.7 million newer Hondas can stop the vehicles for no reason. A recall has not yet been issued.
