Ford OTA update failure may cause critical brake failure

Ford was forced to recall Mustang Mach-E models due to problems with over-the-air updates. In addition to disabling ABS, ESC and traction control, OTA also reduces regenerative braking. The Ford Maverick is also being recalled due to faulty second-row child seat tether anchors. Ford has issued two new recall announcements in the United States, involving the 2021 Mustang Mach-E and 2024 Maverick. Fortunately for the automakers, one of the recalls affects only 50 vehicles, while the other affects only 6 vehicles. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); The largest of the two recalls involves the Mustang Mach-E.

Tesla is recalling 2021 to 2024 Model 3, Model S, Model X, and 2020 to 2024 Model Y vehicles. July 30, 2024 — Tesla’s hood recall affects more than 1.8 million vehicles because the hood latch component may not detect whether the hood is unlocked after it is opened. The recalled products include Model 3, Model S, Model X from 2021 to 2024 and Model Y vehicles from 2020 to 2024. When the driver shifts into drive, they are not warned that the hood is open. Tesla began receiving hood complaints from Model 3 and Model Y owners in China starting in March. Engineers discovered that the door latch switches were deforming, but somehow the problem seemed to be worse in China than in the United States and Europe. In the U.S., only three warranty claims or field reports have been reported, but there have been no hood-related accidents or injuries. Tesla's hood recall letters will be mailed on September…
