Ford Motor Co. is recalling 366 of its 2023 Lincoln Nautilus vehicles because the rear shock absorbers may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can result in damage to the rear brake hose, rear axle half shaft, wheel speed sensor, as well as stabilizer bar end links. A damaged brake hose can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and replace the rear shocks, rear brake hoses, rear wheel speed sensor, and rear half shafts as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 31, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S32.

Porsche is recalling 700 of its 2022-2023 911 GT3 Touring vehicles because a software error in the rear spoiler control unit may allow both the vehicle and spoiler center high-mounted brake lights to activate simultaneously when the rear spoiler is manually deployed at speeds below 56 mph. Simultaneous activation of both lights may cause confusion for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash, the company said in a NHTSA safety report.

Dealers will reprogram the rear spoiler control unit, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 24, 2023. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is APA8.

Porsche is recalling 37 vehicles including certain 2016-2020 Macan S and 2017-2020 Macan SUVs, 2017 Panamera Turbo sedan, 2018 and 2020 Macan Turbo crossovers and Panamera 4 sedans, 2018 Macan Sport Edition SUVs, Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, and 2019 Panamera 4 Sport Turismo sedans. The reason: the screw that attaches the lower seat belt anchor to the seat frame on the outboard rear seats may not have been tightened properly. If the screw loosens over time, in the event of a crash, the seatbelt anchor could detach from the affected seat, increasing the risk of an injury, the company said in a safety report filed with NHTSA.

Dealers will replace and tighten the lower rear outboard seat belt anchor screws, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 24, 2023. Owners may contact Porsche's customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is APA9.

If stalling occurred, this could increase the risk of a crash, the company said in a NHTSA safety report.

Dealers will replace the high voltage battery combined charging unit (CCU), free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 18, 2023. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
