Before you prepare a festive meal for family and friends or go shopping for gifts, you might want to be aware of some recalled products.
“While these products might be gone from the shelves, they could be in your home,” says Dustyn Shroff, Vice President of GreatFlorida Insurance, Florida’s largest independent auto insurance agency.
Vehicles
Honda SUV’s and pickups are being recalled because the hoods can open while cars are in motion. Certain 2019 Passports, 2016 through 2019 Pilots and 2017 through 2020 Ridgeline pickups are the vehicles in question. Honda says the hood latch striker can become damaged and separate from the hood. Dealers will either repair the striker or replace the hood, if necessary, at no cost to owners. Honda will notify customers by letter starting January 17.
Ford is recalling Bronco Sport and Escape SUV’s over a brake issue. Some 2021 and 2022 Bronco Sport and Escape SUV’s are experiencing a reduction in the vehicle’s power brake performance related to the rear brake lining. The automaker will start notifying customers January 10 to bring in their vehicles for a fix.
