According to the notice, dealers will replace both side curtain air bags free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 3, 2024.

Over 116,000 Mercedes-Benz are being recalled because of a 48-volt ground connection under the passenger seat may not be secured properly which can cause the ground connection to overheat.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in its recall acknowledgement that Mercedes-Benz is recalling its vehicles because, “an overheated ground connection can increase the risk of a fire.”
After conducting an investigation into customer complaints of battery related warnings, Mercedes-Benz hypothesized that other mechanic operations may have resulted in the loosening of the 48-volt ground connection. The investigation was concluded on March 15.
Here's which vehicles are included in the recall, according to NHTSA:
If you have one of the recalled vehicles, you can bring you car to the dealer, where they will inspect and tighten the 48-volt ground connection if necessary. This service will be done for free. Recall notification letters will be sent out on May 14.
Kia has recalled almost 50,000 cars for increased crash risk due to potential loss of driving power, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall, submitted to NHTSA by Kia on March 14, affects certain EV6 hybrid models.

The ICCU may become damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, which can then discharge while driving and progressively reduce motive power, resulting in a total loss of drive power.
Approximately 48,232 EV6 vehicles with model years 2022-2024 are affected. According to the company, the following are subject to recall:
