Fuel problems
In terms of scope, the major recall this week is Ford’s recall of more than a million Bronco, Explorer, and Mustang models manufactured between July 2021 and July 2022. The reason is a possible loss of power at high temperatures due to insufficient fuel supply. Loose clips may rub against the fuel line in more than 390,000 Nissan Qashqais manufactured between May 2021 and October 2024. And thirdly, the high-pressure fuel pump is not properly secured to the engine and may leak fuel in 50 Bentley Continental GT, Continental GTC, and Flying Spur vehicles from 2024 and 2025. Any fuel leaks near the engine obviously lead to an increased risk of fire.
Oil issue at Ferrari
Oil leaks can also cause fires. Even the piece-by-piece production of a very luxurious car does not guarantee that everything will be tightened properly. While we mentioned poor fuel pump mounting in the Bentley case, the Ferrari recall concerns the improper tightening of the turbocharger lubrication system supply line. A total of 412 owners of Ferrari 296 GTB and 296 GTS cars manufactured between 1 July and 30 September 2025 will have to visit a service centre to have the parts tightened.
Ball joints
Even worse than loose bolts is when the bolts or nuts are missing altogether. Stellantis is recalling 95,767 Peugeot 3008 and 5008 vehicles manufactured between July 2023 and February 2025 due to a potential missing bolt connection between the ball joint and the arm. This can result in lateral wheel deflection, reduced manoeuvrability and even loss of control.
