Stellantis, Chrysler recalls:More than 24,000 hybrid minivans, tells owners to stop charging them
BMW is recalling 1,145 of its vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the luxury vehicle company said the driver's airbag inflator may explode during deployment because of a manufacturing defect. If an inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments may strike the driver or their passengers, increasing the risk of injury or death.
BMW will replace the driver's front airbag for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be delivered by Sept. 2. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Porsche is recalling 2,475 of its 2024 Cayenne vehicles. The automobile manufacturer said the driver's side front axle upper left control arm installed on the vehicles may have been installed with cracks. This defect can cause the front axle control arm to break, and the driver can lose steering and wheel control. When a driver loses control of their vehicle it increases the risk of a crash, the NHTSA report said.
The dealers will replace the driver's left upper control arm for free. Notification letters are expected to be delivered by Sept. 13. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is ARB2.

Chrysler parent Stellantis announced this week that it is recalling tens of thousands of hybrid vehicles due to the possibility of battery fires.
More than 24,000 vehicles across the globe are subject to the recall announced Thursday by the company based in Amsterdam, Reuters is reporting.
"The events are linked to a rare abnormality in individual cells of the model’s high-voltage battery pack," Stellantis, wrote in a statement obtained by Reuters. "Vehicle risk is reduced when the battery charge level is depleted and the company said owners should refrain from recharging pending the recall completion."
Customers affected by the recall are being asked by the company to park affected minivans outside, away from buildings, and to stop charging them to prevent a fire from breaking out.
USA TODAY has reached out to Stellantis.
