Ford and Toyota pickups along with trucks from Autocar, Isuzu and Nikola are all being recalled this week at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Ford is recalling certain 2023 F-Super Duty F-250, F-350 and F-450 trucks equipped with the Pro Trailer Hitch Assist feature. The default rearview camera image may not be displayed when using the Pro Trailer Hitch Assist feature.
An incorrect rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says potentially 18,513 units are affected by the recall.
Dealers will update the Advanced Drive Assistance System (ADAS) module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 18, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S46.
Toyota is recalling 2022-2023 Tundra and Tundra hybrid vehicles. The plastic fuel tube routed near metallic brake lines may chafe against the brake lines and become damaged, possibly resulting in a fuel leak. Up to 168,179 trucks are impacted.
As an interim repair, dealers will install protective materials and a clamp on the fuel tube, free of charge. Once the final remedy is available, dealers will replace the fuel tube, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 25, 2023. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 23TB09/23TA09.
Autocar is recalling certain 2023 ACX (Xpeditor) and DC (Legend) vehicles. The powertrain driveline center support bearing hardware may not have been properly secured. An improperly secured powertrain driveline can detach from the vehicle and cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 605 units are affected by the recall.
