The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued recalls for vehicles from Mercedes-Benz USA, Toyota Motors and Mazda due to software-related issues, according to the safety recall reports.<\/p>\n
On Friday, according to an NHTSA recall report, Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 27,190 vehicles, including the 2021-2023 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S580 and S580 models. The recall is due to a defect in the Engine Control Unit software, which may lead to increased exhaust temperatures and potential damage to surrounding components, increasing the risk of fire.<\/p>\n
Another recall report indicated that Toyota Motors is recalling 42,199 units of the 2023-2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. The defect involves the brake actuator\u2019s skid control ECU software, which may cause a hard brake pedal and reduced braking force during cornering, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Mazda is also recalling 77,670 units of the 2016-2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata. The issue stems from the SAS control module software, which may cause a higher force airbag deployment during minor crashes, increasing the risk of injury if seat belts are not used.<\/p>\n
The recalls are set to begin with dealer notifications in September 2024 and owner notifications by November 2024. Affected owners are advised to contact their respective dealers for a free software update to rectify the issues.<\/p>\n
