Mercedes-Benz is recalling 4,289 units, including the S580 4MATIC and one other model. The recall, which began on March 7, addresses a potential fire risk caused by a software error in the engine control unit.

Volkswagen Group recalls 4,226 vehicles, including the Audi Q4 40 e-tron and another model. Starting on Tuesday, the recall targets a software glitch in the brake control unit that causes an incorrect gear position display on the dashboard, violating safety standards.

Toyota is recalling 2,722 units of the Sienna Hybrid and another model beginning March 17 due to improperly fastened third-row seatback bolts. Also, from March 6, 1,168 units of the Camry and two other models are being recalled to address potential engine shutdowns caused by faulty fuel pump components.

Stellantis is recalling 1,731 Chrysler 300C vehicles starting March 10. The recall addresses potential engine shutdowns caused by the sufficient durability of high-pressure fuel pump components.

Ford also initiated a recall of 1,535 Nautilus vehicles on Tuesday. The action targets a software error in the door control unit that prevents the proper side window pinch protection feature from functioning, failing to meet safety standards.

Vehicle owners can check if their vehicle is subject to these recalls and view specific defect details by entering their vehicle number and VIN on the Automotive Recall Center website.
