Hyundai recall for rearview camera obstruction 

Hyundai is recalling 18,206 of its 2024 Santa Fe vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the automaker said that the rearview camera image may be obstructed by a trailer parking assist message. An obstructed rearview camera image reduces a driver's visibility behind the vehicle and could increase the risk of a crash or injury.

The government agency said that Hyundai recalled vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

As a solution, Hyundai dealers will update the software for the rearview camera system. The update will be a free service for the affected drivers. Notification letters are expected to be delivered by June 1. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 258.

Ford recall on Broncos, Escapes over fuel leak

Federal auto regulators have announced a probe into a Ford recall of nearly 42,652 automobiles following an error with cracked fuel injectors they say can cause gas leaks and ignite engine fires.

In a summary report release on Thursday, the NHTSA wrote it was opening an investigation into a recall of Ford Bronco and Escape vehicles.

According to the federal investigation announcement, owners can take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have a drain tube installed in the vehicle at no cost.

The remedy also includes a free engine control software update to detect a pressure drop in the fuel injection system, the federal regulator reported. Should that occur, the software will disable the high pressure fuel pump, reduce engine power and cut temps in the engine compartment. Owners also will get a "seek service" message, documents show.

Ford's number for this recall is 24S16. This recall is an expansion of previous recall: 22V-859. For more information, owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
