Two Ford Recalls
Ford announced two recalls this week. The first Ford recall was issued for the Transit Courier model, with a total of 75,969 affected vehicles manufactured between 30 May 2023 and 6 September 2025. The reason for the recall is a software-related delay in the activation of the low beam.
The second recall concerns the front seat backrest, which may not be properly secured during production and could detach in the event of an accident, causing injury to the occupants. A total of 305 vehicles of the Capri and Explorer models produced between 18 August 2024 and 19 September 2025 are being recalled.
Torn Airbag in the Jaguar E-Pace
Jaguar is recalling the E-Pace model due to an issue with the passenger airbag, which may tear upon activation during an accident and cause injury to the vehicle occupants. The cause of the airbag tearing is incorrect airbag placement during the manufacturing process. A total of 18,590 vehicles produced between 26 May 2020 and 28 May 2024 are being recalled.
Start-Stop System Failure at Stellantis
The Stellantis group is expanding the Start-Stop system issue to additional brands. Originally recalled models Citroën C5 Aircross and Jeep Avenger are now joined by Opel Mokka, Peugeot 508 and 5008, and DS7. The recall actions have been issued due to a fault in the Body Control Module (BCM), which prevents the engine from shutting off in start-stop mode, resulting in increased CO₂ emissions. In total, nearly 50,000 vehicles manufactured between 2023 and 2025 are now affected.
