Kia
The popular South Korean brand announced that it would be recalling just over 300,000 vehicles across two different notices.
In fresh documents filed with the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Kia will be recalling 201,149 vehicles over crash fears.
It warns that a detached door belt moulding trim piece can become a road hazard for other vehicles if it occurs while on the road.

The recall, which impacts certain 2023-2025 Telluride models, will see dealers inspect and replace the belt moulding trim assemblies as necessary, free of charge.
A second recall impacts 100,063 K5 models (2023-2025) amid fears that pieces of the rear window trim could detach.
Documents warn that the pieces could cause a hazard for other vehicles as the left and right rear window trim pieces could be at risk of delaminating.
In a similar remedy to the Telluride recall, dealers will replace the C-pillar trim assemblies to mitigate the risk of damage.

More than 103,000 Ford F-150 vehicles from production years 2023 to 2025 are being recalled as the rear axle hub bolt may break.
The recall applies to any of the listed vehicles equipped with the Trailer Tow Max Duty package and a 9.75-inch heavy duty axle with a 3/4 float axle design.
If the axle hub is damaged, it can result in vehicle rollaway when the car is in park without the parking brake being applied.

It can also cause a loss of drive power. If either of these issues occurs, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Ford said it was not aware of any vehicle accidents or injuries related to this condition, although there are 194 warranty claims received between September 27, 2023, and July 8, 2025.
Owners of these vehicles will begin to receive notification letters from August 18, 2025, with these phases set to continue until May 22, 2026.
The NHTSA states that dealers will replace the left and right rear axle shaft assemblies, free of charge.

Stellantis
The manufacturer announced a UK-based recall impacting 72,000 cars over fears that loosened nuts on a fuel pipe could cause an engine fire.
Cars from Alfa Romeo, Citroen, DS, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Peugeot and Vauxhall built between 2023 and 2025 could be impacted, with 28 models being recalled.
A Stellantis spokesperson said: "Vehicles equipped with the 1.2-turbo petrol engine may face a fuel leakage at the high-pressure pipe between the high-pressure pump and the rail due to loosened nuts.
"This can potentially lead to higher fuel consumption and, in a worst-case scenario, to occurrences of fire in the engine."
