If you are driving a Jeep, Genesis, or Winnebago, you may need to stop and read carefully. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) made a number of safety recalls between July 21 and July 27, covering more than 125,000 vehicles from multiple brands.
From flawed headrests on top-selling SUVs to computer glitches on luxury sedans and dodgy seat wiring on motorhomes, there’s plenty to talk about. We’ll cover it by car, so you can simply find out if your car—or road trip car—is part of the recall.
1. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L (2023–2024)
What’s the Issue?
Jeep’s parent company, Chrysler, has issued a massive recall of 121,398 units of the 2023 and 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L. What is wrong? The second-row seat head restraints could not lock into the upright position.
It doesn’t sound like much, but in the event of a crash, an unlocking head restraint can lead to a greater likelihood of neck or head injury—especially for back-seat passengers.
Why it happens
The problem is with an internal locking mechanism inside the headrest that could fail due to a design flaw known as an “interference condition.”
What to do
- No cost to have the repair done.
- Notice letters will be mailed by September 5, 2025.
Affected vehicles
- 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
- 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee
- 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
- 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
All affected: 121,398 vehicles
2. Genesis G90 and GV60 (2023–2025)
What’s the issue?
Genesis, Hyundai’s luxury division, is recalling 4,754 cars due to a software glitch that could render your instrument panel display blank.
Which is to say you won’t be able to see your speedometer, fuel gauge, or warning lights—not ideal when you’re cruising around on the highway or attempting to get to the next gas station.
What caused it?
The issue is a computer glitch in the car’s logic that prevents the display from turning on when the car is started.
What you have to do
Free software update, either over-the-air (OTA) or at your dealer.
Notification letters will be mailed by September 15, 2025.
Affected Vehicles
- 2023 Genesis G90
- 2024 Genesis G90
- 2025 Genesis G90
- 2023 Genesis GV60
- 2024 Genesis GV60
- 2025 Genesis GV60
Number affected: 4,754 vehicles
3. Winnebago Motorhomes (Multiple Models, 2024–2026)
What’s the Issue?
If you like to travel in comfort in a Winnebago, listen up. Winnebago Industries recalled 2,119 motorhomes for a seat adjustment mechanism that could trap essential wires.
Specifically, supplemental restraint system (SRS) wires are trapped when adjusting driver or passenger seats. This leads to faulty airbags or other safety system faults—ouch.
• The SRS wires will be checked and rerouted by dealers to stay clear of the seat mechanisms.
• The work will be performed at no charge to the owner.
• Notification letters will be sent out on or before September 19, 2025.

How to check if your vehicle is recalled
Even if your vehicle wasn’t included in this list, it’s wise to check at least once a year to determine if there are recalls on your car.
Here’s how to check:
1. Find your VIN – A 17-digit code on your vehicle registration, insurance card, or printed on the bottom left corner of your windshield.
2. Visit NHTSA.gov/recalls – Enter your VIN to see if there are any pending recalls.
3. Check the USA TODAY recall tracker – A quick and convenient method for daily updates on new recalls.
Stay safe, stay Informed
Car recalls may sound scary, but they’re caring about your safety. A blank dashboard, a non-locking headrest, or wires compromising your airbag system are all issues to be addressed immediately.
The great news? The majority of work is completely free and done by expert dealers.
So if your vehicle is on the list above, don’t panic—just schedule your fix, grab a coffee, and know that you’re doing the responsible thing. Safe travels!
