Incorrect installation can cause the rear spoiler to detach from the vehicle and fall to the road, with more than 5,000 Dodge Durango SUVs built between July and October 2020. This is not an uncommon occurrence. In the past, BMW X6s, Mercedes-Benz GLBs, and Volkswagen Tiguans have also been recalled due to the risk of a poorly attached roof spoiler. We’ve also found other cars in our archives where the spoiler can fly away.

On nearly 500 MY 2022 Suzuki Swift and Ignis, the positive 12 Volt cable can come in contact with the negative supply wire or the bodywork, causing a short circuit and fire. On less than 100 Peugeot 308s built before January 2022, the thread on the towing eye bracket is the wrong size. The eye cannot be screwed on to the required 7 to 8 turns and can break off when the vehicle is towed.

More than 200,000 Toyota Tundra pickup trucks had improperly installed front turn signal wiring, and headlight brightness is reduced when the front warning lights are activated. Vehicles manufactured between February 22, 2017, and May 29, 2020, are recalled. More than 800,000 Honda Pilot and Ridgeline vehicles may have the hood open spontaneously while driving.

Details on this week’s recalls can be found in the table below.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact an dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
