Weekly Automobile & Motorcycle Safety Recalls: Oct. 26, 2026
Last updated: Oct. 26, 2026. Covers recalls filed Oct. 19–26, 2026.
Five minutes checking your VIN beats five months in recovery. This week gives you a reason to do it: the biggest recalls on the list involve a possible fuel leak, a failing backup camera and gauges that can lie about your speed.
Toyota leads the week. NHTSA announced that Toyota is recalling 105,794 Land Cruiser Hybrids. Ford and Land Rover each filed recalls of nearly 100,000 vehicles or more. Subaru issued a do-not-drive order on a tiny batch of SUVs that is a big deal if yours is one of them. Across the seven recalls below, about 320,765 vehicles are affected.
We did not verify a new U.S. motorcycle recall filed this week. We cover the most recent one in the motorcycle section below.
This Week’s Biggest Recalls
Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid: 105,794 vehicles, fuel leak and fire risk
Certain 2024–2027 Land Cruiser Hybrids have a fuel tube connection near the fuel tank that can come apart. That can leak fuel. If the fuel reaches an ignition source, it can start a fire. Per Vehicle Service Pros, dealers will inspect the connection and add a supplemental clamp. If needed, they will replace the resin fuel tube too. The fix is free. Owner letters are expected Nov. 29, 2026. The NHTSA campaign number is 26V673.
Ford F-Series: 102,159 trucks, speedometer and tachometer can fail
Ford is recalling 2026 F-150s, 2025–2026 F-250 through F-600 Super Duty trucks and 2026 F-750 Super Duty trucks. NHTSA says the analog gauges may get stuck or move erratically. You could be driving without knowing how fast you’re going. Dealers will replace the instrument cluster modules at no cost. This is a hardware swap, not a software update. The campaign number is 26V653.
Land Rover Range Rover: 93,997 SUVs, rearview camera can fail
Certain 2022–2026 Range Rovers don’t have enough drain holes, so water can sit around the rearview camera and damage it. A dead camera takes away rear visibility. Dealers will drill additional drain holes in the tailgate trim, inspect the camera and replace it if needed. All of it is free, according to Vehicle Service Pros. Interim owner letters are expected Dec. 11, 2026. The campaign number is 26V678.
Volvo EX30: 9,930 vehicles, head restraint cushion can detach
The 2025–2026 EX30 and 2026 EX30 Cross Country have a head restraint cushion that can come loose in a crash. That raises the chance of injury. Dealers will add adhesive to reinforce it for free. Owner letters are expected Nov. 30, 2026. The campaign number is 26V671.
Ram 2500: 8,329 pickups, loss of stability control
Steering column control modules in certain 2026 Ram 2500 pickups can cause a loss of electronic stability control. The trucks also fail to meet the federal standard for stability control. Dealers will replace the module at no cost. Owner letters are expected Nov. 24, 2026. The campaign number is 26V651, and it expands an earlier recall.
Porsche 911 and 718 models: 548 vehicles, “do not drive”
A center lock wheel bolt can fracture, and the wheel can come off. Porsche tells owners of the affected 2024 911 and 718 models not to drive them until repaired. Dealers will check the wheel fastening system and replace incorrectly made parts. Owner letters are expected Dec. 15, 2026. The campaign number is 26V682.
Subaru Crosstrek and Forester: 8 vehicles, “do not drive”
Eight 2026 SUVs, four Crosstreks and four Foresters built in August, may have a front ball joint nut that wasn’t tightened to spec. NHTSA’s recall report says the ball joint can separate while you drive, with no warning, and that can cause a loss of control. Owners are told not to drive the vehicle and to have it towed to a dealer. Dealers will inspect the part and replace it if needed. Subaru filed the report Oct. 19, 2026, and remedy letters are planned for Dec. 16, 2026. The campaign number is 26V685.
Also on the list
Trade press also flagged filings on 2022–2024 Lexus NX models over instrument panel display failures (26V687), 2024–2025 Audi Q4 e-tron models over a high-voltage battery fire risk (26V698) and two Hyundai campaigns on 2026 models for loose fasteners and a possible wheel detachment (26V692 and 26V693). Counts and remedies weren’t confirmed at press time, so check NHTSA directly for your VIN.
Motorcycles: What to Know Right Now
We did not find a new U.S. motorcycle recall filed this week. The most recent one we’ve covered is Honda’s recall of 4,206 2023–2025 VT1300CX and 2024–2025 VT750 models over a fuel pump issue, per Motor Sports NewsWire. If you ride, don’t assume you’re clear. Motorcycle recalls show up on the same NHTSA lookup, and riders have less margin for a failed brake, throttle or light than anyone in a car.
How to Check Your Vehicle in Two Minutes
- Find your 17-character VIN on the lower left of your windshield or on your registration.
- Enter it on NHTSA’s lookup tool. It shows unrepaired recalls tied to that VIN.
- If a recall applies, call a dealer and book the free repair. Ask what to do until it’s done.
- Check again every few months. Brand-new recalls can take time to show up.
If the notice says do not drive, believe it. Don’t gamble on a few more miles.
FAQ: This Week’s Auto & Motorcycle Recalls
What is the biggest recall this week?
Toyota’s recall of 105,794 2024–2027 Land Cruiser Hybrids is the largest. A fuel tube connection near the tank can disconnect and leak fuel, which raises the risk of fire.
Is a recall repair really free?
Yes. Federal law requires manufacturers to fix safety defects at no cost to you. Dealers handle the repair, and you shouldn’t be asked to pay for it.
What if I was hurt by a defect that was later recalled?
A recall doesn’t erase your right to compensation. Keep the recall notice, your repair records and your medical records. Nevada generally gives you two years to file an injury claim, so don’t wait.
Can I keep driving a recalled vehicle?
It depends on the notice. A “do not drive” order, like Subaru’s and Porsche’s this week, means park it. For other recalls, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and get the repair scheduled quickly.
How do I know if my car or motorcycle is recalled?
Enter your VIN into NHTSA’s recall lookup. It covers cars, trucks and motorcycles, and it only takes a couple of minutes.
How to Check If Your Vehicle Has an Open Recall
- Go to NHTSA’s recall search and enter your 17-character VIN. It’s free, instant, and pulls directly from manufacturer filings.
- Call NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
- Call your dealer with your VIN. They can check for open recalls and schedule the repair in the same call.
Don’t stop at checking. Book the repair. A recall notice does nothing until the part is actually fixed.
What If a Defective Vehicle Caused Your Accident?
A recall notice that arrives after your crash doesn’t close the door on your case. When a manufacturer knew about a defect, or should have known, before it hurt you, that knowledge is evidence, not an excuse. Insurers would rather blame the person behind the wheel than the part that failed underneath them, because a driver-error finding costs them nothing. You don’t have to accept that, and you don’t have to dig through NHTSA filings alone.
