Ford recall for increased risk of crash
Ford is recalling 1,889,110 of select 2011 through 2019 Explorer vehicles because the A-pillar trim retention clips may not properly engage, which will cause the trim to detach. A detached trim piece can fall off the vehicle and become a road hazard. This increases the risk of a crash, according to the NHTSA report.
Dealers will inspect and replace the A-pillar trim as necessary. Letters notifying owners of the safety risks will be mailed out to all affected Ford owners on March 13. A second letter will be mailed out once a remedy is available. Ford earners can contact the customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Four it's number for this recall is 24S02.

Tesla recall for rear-view camera malfunction
Tesla is recalling 199,575 of its 2023 model S, X, and Y vehicles that are fully equipped with self-driving computers and running on a software version 2023.44.30 through 2023.44.30.6 and 2023.44.100. Software instability may prevent the rear-view camera image from displaying. If the rear-view image does not display while reversing, it decreases the driver's visibility and increases the risk of a crash, according to a report from the NHSTA.
To resolve this issue, Tesla has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update which is free to all of their owners that have been affected. Notification letters are expected to be mailed out on March 22. Owners may contact the Tesla customer service line at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-24-00-002.

Range Rover recall for rear-view camera display
Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 58,729 of its 2018 through 2022 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles that are equipped with a surround camera system. Water could enter into the rear-view camera which can cause the rear-view camera image to appear on the display or show a distorted image. A rear-view camera image that does not display while in reverse decreases the driver’s visibility and increases the risk of an injury or crash, according to the NHSTA.

To fix the issue, car owners can visit their local dealers to get their cars inspected free of charge for the ground cable connection and remove any residue if necessary.
