Ford Issued a recall due to an elevated risk of crashes.
Ford has recalled 1,889,110 specific 2011 to 2019 Explorer vehicles, as the A-pillar trim retention clips may fail to securely engage, leading to detachment of the trim. The separated trim poses a potential road hazard, increasing the likelihood of a crash, as reported by the NHTSA.
Affected vehicle owners will receive notification letters about the safety concerns, with inspections and replacement of the A-pillar trim conducted by dealers as needed. Letters will be mailed on March 13, informing owners of the issue, and a subsequent letter will follow once a solution is in place.

Tesla Recall
Tesla is issuing a recall for 199,575 of its 2023 Model S, X, and Y vehicles, equipped with self-driving computers and running on software versions 2023.44.30 through 2023.44.30.6 and 2023.44.100.
The recall is due to potential software instability that could hinder the display of the rear-view camera image. If the rear-view image fails to appear during reverse maneuvers, it reduces the driver's visibility and raises the likelihood of a collision, as reported by the NHSTA.
