Toyota recalls:13,000 cars over camera defect that increases risk of hitting pedestrians
PACCAR is recalling 3,887 of its trucks. The large commercial truck company said the tie rod or drag link assembly may contain an improperly heat-treated ball stud. This can cause the ball stud to break. A broken ball stud can cause a truck driver to lose steering control of the vehicle. This can increase the risk of a crash, the NHTSA report said.
Right now, PACCAR is advising owners with the affected vehicles to not drive their trucks until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will inspect and replace the tie rod and drag link assemblies as necessary. All services will be free. Notification letters are expected to be delivered by August 11. Owners may contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5888 and Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's numbers for this recall are 24KWG and 24PBG.

Recalled vehicles:
Chrysler is recalling 1,033,433 of its vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the automobile manufacturer said that the radio software in the recalled vehicles may prevent the rearview image from displaying. When the image of the rearview camera fails to display, it decreases the driver's visibility behind the vehicle. This will increase the risk of a crash.
The NHTSA also said that these vehicles in the Chrysler recall fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
To resolve the issue, Chrysler dealers will update the radio software. This service will be completed for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be mailed out on August 2. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 66B.
