Ford Broncos and heavy duty pickups from both manufacturers are among the affected vehicles.

Ford and GM recently announced recall notices for nearly 67,000 vehicles for various safety related issues.

GM has issued a recall for 62,468 Chevrolet Silverado heavy-duty (HD) trucks from model years 2019 to 2024 due to a brake pressure sensor defect that could lead to vehicle fires, according to a notification filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The recall impacts 2019-2024 Silverado 4500 HD, 5500 HD and 6500 HD models. GM said the defect involves the brake pressure sensor assembly, which can leak brake fluid into the pressure switch and cause a short circuit. This electrical short may overheat the circuit, increasing the risk of a fire, whether the vehicle is parked or in use.

The largest number of affected units are 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 5500 HD trucks—10,097 in total—produced between Jan. 20, 2023, and March 19, 2024. Vehicles manufactured prior to the 2019 model year use a different design and are not impacted. GM also clarified that certain 2024 vehicles equipped with a silicone-sealed brake switch wire harness are excluded from the recall.

To remedy the issue, GM dealers will replace the brake pressure switch wire harness at no cost to customers. The company said it notified dealers on June 12 and plans to begin notifying vehicle owners via mail starting July 28. A second round of letters will be sent once repair parts are available.

In the meantime, GM advises owners of affected vehicles to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is completed.

For assistance, vehicle owners can call General Motors at 1-866-467-9700 and reference recall number N242482680. Alternatively, they can contact the NHTSA safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.nhtsa.gov and search for recall number 25V390.

Ford is recalling approximately 2,200 of its 2025 Bronco vehicles after identifying a defect that could interfere with the proper deployment of the passenger-side airbag during a crash.

According to Ford, the issue stems from a malfunction involving the active vent flap, a component designed to regulate internal cushion pressure during airbag deployment.

The active vent flap of the passenger airbag may not open during a crash that deploys the passenger airbag. If the active vent flap fails to open, the internal cushion pressure will not decrease as rapidly as designed, resulting in a higher-pressure cushion interacting with an occupant.

The problem has been traced to certain passenger airbags manufactured by a supplier using plastic flanges that could break upon deployment, increasing the risk of injury.
Ford reported it is unaware of any warranty claims, customer complaints, accidents or injuries related to the issue.

Ford began mailing interim recall notices to affected Bronco owners in late June. A second round of notices will follow once replacement airbag modules are available at dealerships.

Authorized Ford dealers will replace the passenger airbag modules at no cost to the vehicle owner. Customers seeking more information may contact Ford customer service at 866-436-7332. The official recall reference number is 25C27.

Ford has recalled more than 2,300 of its 2025 Super Duty trucks — including the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 models — after discovering a critical defect that could cause total brake failure.

The automaker has urged affected owners not to drive the vehicles until repairs are completed, citing the risk of the brake booster pushrod disconnecting from the brake pedal. The defect stems from the possible omission of retainer springs during assembly, a safety-critical component designed to secure the pushrod to the pedal.

The issue was first identified in May at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant when a 2025 F-350 Super Duty was found with a missing brake pedal retainer spring and round clip. According to Ford, the vehicle failed to stop and the “brake pedal was swinging freely” because the brake booster pushrod had detached.

A second incident was reported in June, also involving a 2025 F-350, in which the brake pedal again became disconnected from the pushrod. Ford traced the issue to a new assembly line worker who was still undergoing training at the time.

No crashes or injuries have been reported.

Dealers will inspect and repair the brake pedal assemblies on affected vehicles, ensuring the retaining springs are properly installed.

Customers with affected trucks are advised to contact Ford at 866-436-7332 and reference recall number 25C26 for more information or to schedule a repair.
