Another Ford recall: Over 850,000 vehicles hit with fuel pump error
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced the recall on Tuesday, stating some of the Ford vehicles low-pressure fuel pumps may fail.
If the pump fails, it could cause the engine to stall while driving, which increases the risk of a crash, the administration warned.
The following vehicles are recalled: 2021-2023 Bronco, Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD, 2021-2022 Lincoln Navigator, Mustang, F-150, and 2022 Expedition vehicles.
Owners of recalled vehicles will be mailed letters about the safety risk on July 14. They will get a second letter once a 'remedy is available,' the administration said.
This recall comes after more than 200,000 Ford vehicles were recalled late last month due to a software defect that can cause the rearview camera to malfunction, increasing the risk of a crash.
The administration announced the recall on June 30, warning the rearview camera could display a blank image, reducing the driver's view behind their vehicle. The camera could also stay on after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse, which could distract the driver.
The following vehicles were recalled: 2018-2022 Transit Connect, 2019-2020 MKZ, Edge, Continental, F-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020-2022 Escape, F-250 SD, Corsair, 2020-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020-2024 Explorer, 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles.
Owners will get a letter about the recall mailed on July 28. They can turn their cars into dealers who will update their vehicles' software for free.

Lamborghini Revuelto Faces Third Recall Over Door Issue

Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video. Research and compare vehicles, too. View post: These Are the Slowest-Selling Cars In the U.S. Right Now A Bold New Era for Lambo, With a Few Setbacks The Lamborghini Revuelto represents a major shift for the Italian marque. Replacing the long-running Aventador, it is Lamborghini's new flagship hypercar – and the first with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. Under its carbon-fiber skin lies a naturally aspirated V12 paired with three electric motors, pushing output to a staggering 1,001 horsepower. Lamborghini calls it a High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV), promising the visceral thrills of a combustion-powered supercar with a modern, electrified edge. 0:03 / 0:09 Chevrolet says a next-gen Camaro is still possible. What could it look like? Watch More Customer deliveries of the Revuelto began in 2023, and despite a price tag well above half a million dollars, it's sold out until 2026. However, just two years into production, the Revuelto is already facing its third safety recall. Latest Recall: Doors That May Unexpectedly Close Just published this week, the most recent recall affects 27 units from the 2024 and 2025 model years. According to the documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the spherical pins that hold the gas struts for the iconic scissor doors may not have been properly installed. This defect could cause the pins to loosen, allowing the doors to close unexpectedly or resist opening – both not cool, especially when you're trapped inside the car. According to the automaker, a deviation in the assembly process caused the problem. Unfortunately, there aren't any signs that the Revuelto's screws are already loose, so owners should probably consider their hypercars affected just to be safe. Vehicles built after June 26, 2025, are not affected, since production procedures were updated to ensure proper torque application during assembly. Lamborghini has not reported any injuries or incidents related to this defect. Owners will be instructed to visit dealerships, where technicians will inspect and retighten the pins – of course, free of charge. Three Recalls and Counting Per the NHTSA records, there were two previous recalls for the Revuelto. The first one was issued in October 2024, when Lamborghini recalled 455 units due to a defective connecting rod in the passenger-side windshield wiper system. The rod could bend or detach from the motor, causing the wiper to malfunction and leading to impaired visibility during poor weather.

According to records, there were improperly tightened screws on the oil circuit connection flange from the radiator to the oil tank. Like the others, inconsistencies during production were the root cause of the problem, though this issue was deemed a fire risk. Fortunately, none of these recalls have involved injuries or crashes.

Incoming GM design boss believes autonomous driving will shape future cars

The Old Ones Are Still Cheap And Fun View post: A Friend Drives a 2022 Audi Q7 and Needs a New SUV. This is What I Told Her to Buy. Autonomous-Driving Hype Continues General Motors hasn't had the easiest time developing autonomous vehicles. It pulled the plug on the Cruise startup it acquired in 2016 after a number of mishaps involving Cruise's Chevrolet Bolt EV test cars. But judging from comments by the automaker's newly-appointed senior vice president of global design, the automaker is still expecting a self-driving future. 0:05 / 0:09 Chevrolet says a next-gen Camaro is still possible. What could it look like? Watch More Earlier this month, Bryan Nesbitt replaced Michael Simcoe in the top GM design role, becoming only the eighth person to hold that position since the founding of GM's design department (then known as the 'Art and Colour' section) by Harley Earl in 1927. Earl built what was essentially the first corporate automaker design studio, and Nesbitt expects a similarly heavy lift to prepare for autonomous driving. Foundational Change 'One of the biggest transitions in mobility is happening in this next window with autonomous driving,' Nesbitt, who was previously head of global Cadillac design, said in a GM press release. 'As cars become fully self-driving, the art of science of vehicle design will change drastically. Car designers facing this future can't just think about styling as fashion—they need to rethink the very foundations of how humans and machines interact.' Nesbitt compared the anticipated transition to the early days of the automobile, when people would attach fake horse heads to the fronts of their cars 'to enable the emotional transition.' Nesbitt didn't go so far as to say that fake steering wheels might soon come into fashion, but believes 'this next window is very significant, because this transition is going to influence our behaviors.' 'The kind discussions that we're having now have necessarily become much more about the total experience,' Nesbitt said. 'No matter how advanced technology may be, for us it's about how artfully it can be integrated into your life.'

A Cruise autonomous taxi in San Francisco — Source: Getty Images Technology Needs To Meet Expectations Nesbitt didn't offer any specifics about how GM design would accommodate the 'total experience,' which is probably just as well, because the underlying technology driving this transition is still very much a work in progress. Last December, GM said it would stop funding Cruise, ending eight years of backing what began as an independent startup before its acquisition by GM in 2016. GM envisioned a dedicated robotaxi called the Origin, but Cruise's struggle to get its basic technology stack to work properly—a series of collisions and other incidents led to its California autonomous-testing permit being pulled in 2023—led GM to fold Cruise into the unit that develops its SuperCruise driver-assist tech. Ex-Cruise vehicles were reportedly back on the road earlier this month. GM isn't the only company having problems. Tesla's much-hyped robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, quickly triggered an investigation into alleged safety violations. Waymo has managed to avoid controversy, but it's only been able to deploy self-driving cars in limited ride-sharing applications. Nesbitt may be talking about the future, but his comments also seem like a throwback to peak of self-driving hype from roughly a decade ago. About the Author Stephen Edelstein View Profile
