Ford is recalling more than 550,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going.
Porsche just recalled every Taycan as well for a brake hose that can leak.
Tesla, Ford and Porshe all back to back.
Someone, university or something looked into this once, and found that something like 70% of the time recalls happen in groups like this as OEMs wait for others to announce their recalls first as they take the bigger stock /media hit. Then anyone else who had one but hadn’t announced it yet jumps in and doesn’t suffer as much.
Add Honda CRV fuel pumps to that. Can cause the engine to just shut off at any time. And Honda won’t even have the parts available until the fall unless you are currently experiencing issues related to the fuel pump.

Seems like it works because I haven’t seen a post about Porsche. I just learnt about it from your comment.
Ya, that’s how it goes.

It says on average 7.6 following recalls get announced, so we might get a few more!
