Kia recalls EV9 for remote smart parking assist failure

In the NHTSA report the automobile manufacturer said that “a software error may cause the remote smart parking assist feature, which allows the operator to remotely move the vehicle, to miscalculate stopping distances.” As a result, a remote smart parking assist feature that miscalculates stopping distances may increase the risk of a crash, the report said.

Daimler Truck is recalling 16,889 of its vehicles that may be "upfitted with a body lighting interface controller and replacement brake lights," the NHTSA report said. The heavy-duty truck manufacturing company said that the brake lights “may not illuminate when the brakes are automatically applied during an active brake assist event.” Brake lights that fail to illuminate will not properly indicate to drivers that the vehicle is slowing down or stopping. This will increase the risk of a crash, the report said.

Escalades and Tahoes due to an inoperative low brake fluid warning

General Motors is recalling 449,671 vehicles, including some new-model Escalades and Tahoes, due to an inoperative low brake fluid warning, which poses a safety issue.

In a recall issued last week by the NHTSA, GM said electronic brake control module software on impacted SUVs and pickup trucks may fail to display a warning light when a loss of brake fluid occurs.

Without a warning light, the vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, the NHTSA reported, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.

The "Electronic Brake Control Module" software will be updated through an over-the-air update or by a dealer, free of charge.

Notification letters for owners are expected to be mailed by Oct. 28, the NHTSA reported.

Affected owners are asked to contact their local dealership for more information.
