Chrysler
According to new documents filed with the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Chrysler will be recalling around 298,000 Dodge Dart models manufactured between 2013 and 2016.
The recall warns that the shifter cable may detach from the transmission, preventing the vehicle from shifting into the park position.
It warns that this could cause a loss of the park function, with the vehicle more likely to roll away, increasing the risk of an accident.

Nissan
More than 173,000 vehicles are being recalled by the Japanese manufacturer, including certain 2013-2021 NV200 Van, 2014-2017, 2019 NV200 Taxi, and 2015-2018 Chevrolet City Express models.
Impacted cars may see the Fuel Tank Temperature sensor harness incorrectly routed. This can damage wires and cause a short circuit in the fuel pump fuse.
Affected owners will have their vehicles inspected by a dealer, who will reroute the FTT sensor harness or replace the fuel pump assembly, if necessary.

The Blue Oval brand has been forced to recall almost 60,000 models amid fears that an electrical short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.
Documents state: "The engine block heater may crack and develop a coolant leak, causing it to short circuit when the block heater is plugged in."
The recall includes certain 2016-2019 Lincoln MKC, 2016-2023 Explorer, 2019-2020 Fusion, 2019-2024 Ranger, 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair, Escape, 2021-2024 Bronco, Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles.

Toyota
Owners of the 2025 Toyota Sienna hybrid can expect to receive a notification letter from the NHTSA over concerns that the second-row seat rails may be welded improperly.
In total, 54,631 vehicles are believed to be impacted, with Toyota noting in the recall documents that not all vehicles included were sold in the United States.
If the seat rails were not properly welded, it can prevent the seat from adequately restraining an occupant during a crash, heightening the risk of an injury.
