BMW recalls motorcycles for case detachment
BMW is recalling 1,600 of its BMW motorcycle side cases. The side case latch hooks may not snap properly into the lock which can cause the lid to open. When this happens, the case could detach from the motorcycle. If a case or lid detaches, the objects within the case could fall out, creating a road hazard for oncoming motorists. As a result, this will increase the risk of a crash, according to the NHTSA.
The recalled case is designed to fit R1300 GS motorcycles, with part number: 77 41 9 444 361/362.
For free, dealers will repair the locking mechanism and hinges of the side cases, Notification letters are expected to be delivered by May 13. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Ford recall for tire damage
Ford is recalling 1,902 of its 2023-2024 Transit vehicles equipped with the Transit Trail package. The NHTSA report revealed that the tires may contact the front wheel arch liner and body flange which can cause damage to the tires. Damaged tires may experience a sudden loss of air pressure or tread separation. As a result, the driver can loose control of the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
At the time the NHTSA report was released, Ford did not reveal a resolution for the recall. Interim recall letters highlighting the safety risks are expected to be mailed out on March 27. A second notice will be sent once the remedy for the parts become available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S21.

Subaru recall for airbag failure
Subaru is recalling 118,723 of its 2020-2022 Outback and Legacy vehicles. A capacitor in the sensors for the Occupant Detection System (ODS) may crack and short circuit. This malfunction can prevent the front passenger airbag from deploying in the event of a crash. If an airbag fails to deploy during a crash, it can increase the risk of an injury, according to the report by the NHTSA.
If you have one of the recalled vehicles, you can visit your local dealer where they will replace the ODS sensors on the front passenger seat for free. Interim letters informing owners of the safety risk are expected to be delivered by May 21. A second letter will be sent once a remedy is available.

Kia recall for vehicle rollaway potential
Kia is recalling 427,407 of its 2020-2024 Telluride vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the motor company said the intermediate shaft and right front driveshaft may not fully engage. This may cause a vehicle to rollaway while the gear is shifted to park. When a vehicle is more inclined to rollaway, it increases the risk of a crash or a serious injury.
Kia is advising its owners to use the emergency parking brake before exiting the vehicle until an official recall remedy is created. Dealers will update the electronic parking brake software and replace any damaged intermediate shafts. These services will be completed for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent on May 15. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC303.
