The outer seat belts of the second row of seats may not work optimally in the BMW 2 Series and BMW X1 from 2021 to 2023. Nearly 50,000 cars are at risk of injury in the event of an accident.
Over 7,000 Ford Kugas built between April and October 2021 may have a faulty fixing for the glass of the panoramic roof, which may cause the panoramic roof to become detached when the vehicle is being driven. Ford recalled the Focus a week ago because of the same problem.
The seat frame may break in 1,657 Honda Civic and Civic Type R built between July and October 2022.
A fault in the air conditioning compressor can disable the powertrain of the Toyota ProAce and ProAce City electric vans. The recall is for 16,700 cars built between 2020 and 2022.
