The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has logged more than 300 safety recalls across more than 100 manufacturers so far in 2026. Here is every passenger car, truck, and SUV recall NHTSA has filed in June 2026 so far, organized by automaker, along with what each one means if you currently own one of these vehicles.
On the list are vehicles from Jeep, Honda, Toyota, Kia, Subaru, and Ford, with the latter having the most extensive recalls.
The best way to find pending recalls for your vehicle is to visit the free database maintained by NHTSA. Simply enter your VIN number on that website to see everything specific to your vehicle to date. Your VIN number (17 characters) is easily accessed in one of three places: near the lower portion of your windshield and dashboard on the driver’s side, on your registration card, or on your insurance card.
All recall repairs are performed free of charge by a dealership associated with the manufacturer of your vehicle, regardless of whether that dealer sold the vehicle. You also do not have to be the original owner of the vehicle in order to have recall work done.
Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator
Fire risk prompts a park outside warning
Stellantis issued a recall (NHTSA campaign 26V363) on June 9th, 2026, covering an estimated 1,076,999 Jeep vehicles, including:
- 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler
- 2021-2025 Jeep Gladiator
An electrical connection flaw in the wiring for the power steering pump can cause nearby combustible material to overheat, creating a fire risk even when the vehicle is off. NHTSA opened an investigation after multiple fire reports and is aware of 51 fires and one injury linked to the defect.
Owners should park outside and away from structures and other vehicles until the repair is complete. Notification letters are expected on or around July 9th, 2026, but VINs are already searchable on NHTSA.gov. Dealers will inspect the wiring harness and steering pump and replace components as necessary, free of charge.
Honda Pilot, Ridgeline, Passport, and Acura MDX
Subframe corrosion from winter salt
American Honda issued a recall (NHTSA campaign 26V367) on June 9th, 2026, which encompassed vehicles sold in 23 states that use winter road salt, as well as Washington, D.C. The affected vehicles include:
- 2016-2022 Honda Pilot
- 2017-2023 Honda Ridgeline
- 2019-2023 Honda Passport
- 2014-2020 Acura MDX
The problem traces back to the factory paint applied to the rear subframe. Honda says the coating can fail in spots, leaving bare steel exposed to road salt and freeze-thaw cycles. Once corrosion sets in at the rear control arm mounting points, the metal thins until it can fracture, which Honda warns can cause a loss of vehicle handling.
Only an estimated one percent of the 880,514 vehicles covered have the defect, but inspection is the only way to know which ones. Owners in cold-weather states should watch for unusual noises or vibrations from the rear suspension, as that could indicate the subject matter in this recall notice.
Although Honda’s official notification letters go out in early July, vehicle-specific VIN numbers are already searchable on NHTSA.gov.
Most recalled cars vs. ones that rarely go back to the shop
Ford issues more vehicle recalls than all other automakers combined.
Ford trucks and SUVs
Seven separate recalls in two and a half weeks
No other automaker came close to Ford’s recall volume in June 2026. Seven different campaigns landed between June 1st and June 16th, 2026, touching most of the lineup.
The biggest by far is Ford’s recall (NHTSA campaign 26V344), covering:
- 2018-2022 Ford Expedition
- 2018-2022 Lincoln Navigator
A seat belt pretensioner can lock the driver or front passenger belt so it will not retract or extend, which means it cannot restrain an occupant as it is designed to in a crash. This recall affects 419,967 vehicles and also expands two earlier campaigns, so owners who already had the original fix done need to bring their vehicle back to the dealer.
Two Ford recalls carry a Do Not Drive warning. NHTSA campaign 26V340 covers 4,653 examples of:
- 2021-2026 Ford Bronco Sport
- 2022-2026 Ford Maverick
The front lower control arm ball joints on these vehicles may not have been installed to spec at the factory, increasing the risk of a separated control arm. Interim letters went out on June 4th, 2026. A second campaign, 26V343, covers 1,536 units of specific Ford trucks and SUVs, including:
- 2025-2026 Ford Bronco
- 2025-2026 Ford Explorer
- 2025-2026 Ford Ranger
An engine component on these vehicles was not installed to spec, which can cause a sudden loss of drive power. Interim letters went out on June 5th, 2026, with a permanent fix expected in November.
Rounding out the Ford list, NHTSA campaign 26V335 covers certain 2026 Ranger and Bronco models with incorrect tire and weight information printed on the door placard.
Three more campaigns filed the week of June 15th deal with instrument clusters and rollaway risk:
- NHTSA campaign 26V371: 2024 Ford Explorer, rollaway risk tied to the transmission.
- NHTSA campaign 26V370: 2017 Ford F-150, instrument cluster that can fail outright.
- NHTSA campaign 26V372: 2019 Lincoln Navigator, 2019 Ford Mustang, and 2019 Lincoln MKX, instrument cluster that can go blank on startup, hiding warning lights a driver would otherwise see.
Those who own one of the Ford vehicles above should run their VIN through NHTSA’s website rather than waiting for a letter, since two of these carry an explicit warning against driving until the repair is done.
The Story Behind Ford’s EcoBoost Problems (And How They Are Being Resolved)
Ford’s EcoBoost engine issues have plagued the automaker and made headlines globally. Here’s what it’s doing to ensure the problems are fixed.
Toyota and Lexus
Blank instrument displays on four model lines
NHTSA campaign 26V341 covers 81,893 Toyota and Lexus vehicles, including:
- 2024-2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid
- 2024 Toyota Mirai
- 2025 Lexus UX Hybrid
- 2024 Lexus GX
A software fault in the 12.3-inch combination meter can cause parts of the display to go blank during startup. As a result, warnings for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and electrical charge might not show up even when something is wrong.
The Mirai’s hydrogen fuel cell system may also fail to display a loss-of-isolation warning, a safety check specific to that powertrain. Dealers will update the combination meter software at no cost once an owner brings the vehicle in.
Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride
Moonroof glass and seat belt recalls
Subaru issued a recall (NHTSA campaign 26V346) for certain 2026 Forester and Forester Hybrid vehicles equipped with a power moonroof.
The bond between the glass panel and its sliding frame may not have held during assembly, increasing the risk of the glass panel detaching while driving. Dealers will inspect the bonding and, if needed, replace the glass assembly.
Notification letters are expected to go out on July 24th. Subaru’s internal reference for the campaign is WRF-26.
Meanwhile, NHTSA campaign 26V356 extends to 2027 Kia Telluride and Telluride Hybrid models. The driver’s seat belt on these vehicles may not extend far enough, making it difficult to buckle. Kia dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the affected seat belt assembly.
GM vans and Mercedes-Benz
Gear selection and seat belt bolts
NHTSA campaign 26V345 covers certain 2026 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. Both have a defect that can lead to incorrect gear selection, a problem that increases the risk of an unintended vehicle movement. GM dealers will inspect and fix the affected vehicles.
NHTSA also logged campaign 26V353 for certain 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE and GLS models for rear seat belt bolts that may not be torqued to specification.
Open Safety Recall Checklist
- Locate Your VIN: The 17-character Vehicle Identification Number is located on the lower driver’s side dashboard/windshield, your vehicle registration, or your insurance card.
- Visit an Official Database: Go to the NHTSA website or the Check To Protect database maintained by the National Safety Council. Both allow you to enter your VIN or license plate to see any open recalls specific to your vehicle.
- Download the SaferCar App: For a “set it and forget it” approach, use the SaferCar app for iOS and Android devices. It’s an official NHTSA tool that will automatically notify you via your phone whenever a new safety recall is issued for your vehicle.
- Schedule Your Free Repair: When an open recall appears, contact your local dealership immediately to schedule an appointment. All safety recall repairs are 100% free by law. This applies even if your vehicle is out of warranty, or you weren’t the original buyer.
