Upper control arm at Jeep

The upper control arm clamping screw may have been damaged during assembly of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. If it breaks, the clamping force between the control arm ball joint and the steering knuckle could be lost. This could cause the wheel to detach, creating a risk of accidents and injuries. Jeep is recalling 375,141 vehicles manufactured from December 2020 through May 2023 for inspection.

Yet another Hyundai recall

Hyundai has recently recalled several models due to airbags, immobilizers, driveshafts, or faulty charging processes in electric cars. Check out all of this year’s Hyundai recalls via the KBA and also via Europe’s Safety Gate system. This week, 2,532 Hyundai Konas built between 2022 and 2023 are being recalled due to rear seat belt buckles that do not meet specifications. This may lead to reduced occupant protection.

Details on this week’s Rapex 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.
