Weekly Vehicle Safety Recalls: Ferrari, Hyundai, Jeep, BMW Feature in List
Headline: Multiple Vehicle Recalls Announced by Major Manufacturers in September 2025
The automotive industry has been abuzz with several recalls announced by leading manufacturers such as Ford, Kia, BMW, Genesis, Ferrari, and Jeep. These recalls are primarily due to safety concerns affecting a wide range of models.
Ford Recall Affects Over 300,000 Vehicles
Several 2025 models from Ford, including the Lincoln Aviator, Navigator, F-150 hybrids, Expedition, Bronco, and Ranger, are subject to recall. The potential failure of the Electronic Brake Booster (EBB) could cause a loss of power brake assist during driving or the use of advanced driver assistance systems, increasing the crash risk. Additionally, seat belt warning chimes may not sound in certain 2025 Ford F-150 hybrid models when seat belts are unbuckled, raising crash injury risk. Dealers will provide free software updates for the EBB system and audio control module fixes. Owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
Kia Recall Affects Around 300,000 Vehicles
The recall affects 2023–2025 Kia Telluride, Kia K5, and some 2023 Kia Sportage vehicles. The door belt molding trim in the Telluride, as well as the left and right rear window trim pieces in the K5, may detach, posing road hazards. In some Kia Sportage vehicles, the alternator battery positive terminal nut may loosen, causing engine stalls or fire hazards. Dealers will inspect and repair these issues free of charge. Owners can contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542.
Other Notable Recalls
- BMW is recalling the 2022-2025 BMW IX, 2023-2024 BMW I7, and 2022-2023 BMW I4 due to misassembled battery cell modules that could lead to high-voltage failure, fire risk, or sudden loss of drive power. Affected owners can contact BMW Customer Service at 1-800-525-7417.
- The 2023-2025 Genesis G90 and GV60 are subject to a recall due to instrument panels that may fail to display speedometers or warning lights, violating FMVSS 101. Genesis will send out owner notices on September 15, 2025, and affected owners can contact Genesis Customer Service at 844-340-9741 (Recall No. 027G).
- The 2023-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L may have second-row head restraints that fail to lock in the upright position, posing a greater injury risk during crashes and violating FMVSS 202. Affected owners can contact FCA US at 1-800-853-1403 (Recall No. 20C).
- The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 is subject to a recall due to a loose high-voltage battery bus bar that can cause short-circuiting and lead to fire risk. Affected owners can contact Hyundai Customer Service at 1-855-371-9460 (Recall No. 280).
- The 2023-2025 Ferrari Purosangue is subject to a recall due to a short circuit between the fuse box's power supply and passenger-side footrest that can trip the brake warning light and reduce braking ability, increasing crash risk. Ferrari will install a plastic spacer to eliminate contact as a fix, free of charge. Affected owners can contact Ferrari Customer Service at 1-201-816-2668 (Recall No. RC 92).
Owners should expect official mail notifications providing detailed instructions on getting repairs performed free of charge. For more information, owners can visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website or hotline at 888-327-4236.
If you own one of these affected vehicles, it is important to watch for recall notices starting mid-August through September 2025 and contact the relevant manufacturer or your dealer promptly to arrange repairs. Owner notices for the Hyundai recall begin on September 20, 2025.
The finance department of the automotive industry is likely to see a surge in costs following the numerous recalls announced by major manufacturers, as dealers offer free repairs for affected models. The sports industry, on the other hand, may experience a shift as Ferrari recalls their 2023-2025 Purosangue due to a potential reduction in braking ability, which could impact the performance and safety of the luxury SUV during racing events.
