Honda is recalling 720,810 vehicles for a risk that a “high-pressure fuel pump may crack and leak fuel,” the automobile company said in the NHTSA report. A fuel leak around the ignition source can increase the risk of a fire, the report said.  
To fix the issue, dealers will inspect and replace the high-pressure fuel pump as necessary. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent by Dec. 4. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda’s number for this recall is PJW. 
Recalled Honda vehicles (720,810):  
Ford is recalling 2,416 of its 2024 Ranger and 2024-2025 Bronco vehicles. In the NHTSA report the automobile manufacturer said “the front upper control arm ball joint nut may not have been installed or tightened properly (which allows) the front upper control arm to detach from the knuckle assembly.” A detached control arm can cause a loss of vehicle steering and control. This issue will increase the risk of a crash, the report said.  
To fix the issue, dealers will inspect and check to see if the ball joint fastener is tightened properly. If a fastener is loose or missing, the dealer will replace the ball joint and knuckle assembly, as necessary. This service will be completed for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent by Oct. 28. Owners may contact Ford Customer Service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 24S64. 
Recalled Ford vehicles (2,416):  
PACCAR is recalling 5,690 of its Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, equipped with Cummins X15 diesel engines. In the NHTSA report PACCAR said that “the fuel pump barrels may fracture and cause a fuel leak, which can result in an engine stall.” If an engine stalls, it increases the risk of a crash, the report said.
For free, dealers will replace the fuel pump barrels. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent by Dec. 22. Owners may contact Kenworth’s customer service at 1-425-828-5888 and Peterbilt’s customer service at 1-940-591-4220. Owners may also contact Cummins Customer Service at 812-377-5000. PACCAR’s numbers for this recall are 24KWH and 24PBH.
Recalled PACCAR trucks (5,690):
Suzuki is recalling 6,338 of its 2022-2024 GSX1300R (Hayabusa) motorcycles. In the NHTSA report the automobile company said “the master cylinder internal rubber components may swell due to contamination from the brake fluid cap diaphragm.” This will cause a blocked brake fluid port, the NHTSA report said. A blocked brake fluid port can extend the distance required to stop. This malfunction will increase the risk of a crash, the report said.  
The NHTSA report also notes that “these motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 122, ‘Motorcycle Brake Systems.’” 
For free, dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder body and brake fluid cap diaphragm. Recall notification letters are expected to be delivered by Oct. 25. Owners may contact Suzuki Customer Service at 1-714- 572-1490. Suzuki’s number for this recall is 3A04. This recall expands and replaces previous recall number 23V-088. Motorcycles previously recalled under 23V-088 will need to have the new remedy completed.
