Car recalls: Why they happen and what buyers should know
Why do car recalls happen? Here's what to know if your car has an open recall.
General Motors is recalling tens of thousands of Cadillac vehicles due to a video display issue that could increase the risk of crash, according to a notice posted this week by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The Detroit-based automaker reported to the NHTSA late last month that the video display on some Lyriq models may fail, resulting in a blank screen and a subsequent loss of view of the speedometer, warning lights and rearview camera, thus increasing the risk of a crash.
As of May 29, when GM reported the recall to the NHTSA, the automaker had not reported any deaths or injuries in connection to the issue.
Here's what to know about the recall, including which years are affected and how to remedy the issue.
Which years and models are affected?
The recall affects 41,376 vehicles in the following models:
2023 Cadillac Lyriq
2024 Cadillac Lyriq
What should I do if my Cadillac is recalled?
The video display control module software can be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge, the NHTSA recall notice said.
Notification letters are expected to be mailed to owners by July 14.

Tesla robotaxi service reportedly launching next week in Austin
AUSTIN (KXAN) — In less than a week, people might see Tesla robotaxis riding around Austin. The company reportedly planned to launch its autonomous vehicle ride hailing service Thursday, June 12. Still, a federal agency has several questions about the safety of the vehicles. Last month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk discussed plans with CNBC to launch the service in Austin. How is Austin working with Tesla on its robotaxi rollout? 'We want to deliberately take it slow,' Musk said. 'I mean, we could start with 1,000 [robotaxis] 10,000 on day one, but I don't think that would be prudent. So we will start with probably 10 for a week, then increase it to 20, 30, 40.' Musk himself mentioned testing already started. Just last week, he posted on X that, 'for the past several days, Tesla has been testing self-driving Model Y cars (no one in driver's seat) on Austin public streets with no incidents.' The service is reportedly already available for some employees. In April, Tesla's AI account posted a video on X claiming that 'supervised ride hailing service is live for an early set of employees in Austin and [the] San Francisco Bay Area.' Still, some questions remain unanswered. In a letter sent to Tesla in May, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asked the company to explain how it plans to operate safely. Questions focused on things like: Crash reporting Complying with traffic safey laws Automated responses to emergencies NHTSA asked how the robotaxis will safely operate in low-visibility, like sun glare, fog, rain or snow. Those conditions are tied to previous accidents involving the company's driver-assistance software. KXAN reached out to see if NHTSA heard back. The agency told us its investigation remains open and that Tesla's response must be submitted by June 19. NHTSA said any updates will be posted in the investigation file online. The letter said Tesla may be fined up to $27,874 per day if the agency does not receive a prompt response, with a maximum fine of $139,356,994. Back in December 2024, KXAN confirmed Tesla was in talks with the city of Austin over its autonomous vehicle technology. A spokesperson for the Transportation and Public Works Department said Tesla reached out to the city's autonomous vehicle task force. 'The City treats each AV company that expresses interest in Austin the same, offering training opportunities and providing uniform information,' the transportation spokesperson said in an email to KXAN. KXAN received an updated statement from the department regarding those discussions. We are working with Tesla, as we work with all AV companies looking to deploy in Austin. The city treats each AV company that expresses interest in Austin the same, offering training opportunities and providing information about City right-of-way and procedures. Additionally, Austin Police recently participated in a training with Tesla vehicles that was hosted by the Texas Department of Public Safety.' City of Austin Transportation and Public Works Department KXAN reached out to Tesla directly for comment. We'll update this story if we get a response. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Truck Parking Club doubles network in under 6 months
Chattanooga, Tennessee-based Truck Parking Club recently announced it has surpassed 2,000 property member locations nationwide, a doubling of its footprint in six months. Part of the growth came from targeting diverse property types, from trucking companies and repair shops to storage facilities and real estate investors. 'This isn't just about hitting a number – it's about solving a decades-old problem that costs the trucking industry billions annually,' said Evan Shelley, co-founder and CEO of Truck Parking Club, in a press release. 'Every new location means drivers spend less time searching and more time earning. Our goal is clear: reduce parking search time to under 10 minutes per day.' The rapid expansion and milestone followed an announcement in February of the addition of industry veteran Brent Hutto as chief relationship officer, the position he formerly held at Truckstop. Part of the push is to build on driver momentum and turn it into enterprise-level relationships. Reed Loustalot, chief marketing officer at Truck Parking Club, said in an earlier interview with FreightWaves, 'Truck Parking Club grew organically and doing that we coincidentally have drivers in 60 of the top 100 fleets booking parking with us, and we have never talked to the fleets directly about having their drivers use our app. It's their drivers, their dispatchers and their fleet managers finding us.' Another advantage of being a truck parking aggregator is it's less expensive and turns otherwise unused parking locations into income production opportunities. Shelley wrote, 'New truck parking construction typically costs $100,000-$200,000 per space and takes years to complete, while Truck Parking Club can activate existing spaces within a day.' Looking ahead to the next milestone, the company is setting its sights on 10,000 locations. The Logistics Managers' Index's recently released May data showed a second consecutive month of expansion. The May LMI came in at 59.4 points, up 0.6 points from 58.8 in April. The m/m increase was impacted by inventories, which saw higher costs and slower movement compared to earlier in the year. The LMI is a diffusion index, with a score above 50 signaling expansion, while below 50 is a contraction. The interplay between warehousing costs and inventory levels was a big theme in May. Warehouse capacity fell 5.4 points in May to 50, while warehousing prices rose 0.2 points to 72.1, a strong expansion. 'This suggests that the inventories that were rushed into the country earlier this year are now static and holding them is expensive,' noted the report. The LMI transportation metrics were mostly stale, with movement less than 1 point. There were some nuances, according to the report. Capacity dipped slightly to 54.7, with upstream firms facing tighter space at 50 points compared to downstream firms' expansion of 65.3 points. Transportation prices rose more for downstream (66.7) than upstream (61.7), but the gap wasn't significant. Transportation utilization fell to 52.6 points, the lowest since November 2023. Despite lower diesel prices ($3.487 a gallon), a predicted import surge could stress intermodal and over-the-road networks, testing supply chain flexibility. On the import front, prognostications for an import boom similarly seen during COVID remain cloudy, due in part to American consumers having less cash than during the stimulus-fueled buying binge. The report adds that it was demand-driven, while the current surge in imports during Q1 was more supply-driven, as shippers tried to pull goods forward to avoid higher costs. 'Even though costs were high, there was a sense that they could grow higher in the future. Today, after several rounds of start-and-stop tariffs, shippers may doubt that the highest levels of threatened tariffs will ever come to pass. At the same time, costs are higher on imports from essentially every country than they were a year ago,' added the report.

Kia recalls over 80K vehicles over increased crash risk
(NewsNation) — Kia announced recalls on over 80,000 of its vehicles due to an increased crash risk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) posted the recall, which was issued on May 28, stating that 'parking lights that fail to illuminate properly can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.' The agency also said, 'Due to incorrect software in the Power-net Domain Controller (PDC), when the turn signal is activated while headlamps are activated in a steady burning state or while parking lamps are activated, the corresponding parking lamp does not illuminate in a steady burning manner.' In easier terms, the parking lights flicker. The issue can be fixed either by a Kia dealership or a software update that is downloaded to the vehicle, according to the notice. The recall affects 82,281 of the Kia K5 2025 models. The Kia K5 used to be called the Optima, and it was launched in South Korea in 2010. The 2025 model was revealed in the first half of 2024. Kia says it features 'refreshed exterior styling, updated lights, grills and fascia and a distinctive star map lighting design.' The NHTSA recall database is regularly updated with the status of recalls on car parts, car accessories, and vehicles. To check and see if your vehicle is involved in a recall, you can search the NHTSA's website. 1.7 million air conditioners recalled over mold growth When searching, you can put your vehicle's license plate number or vehicle identification number (VIN) into the search bar. This will give you a more accurate idea of whether your vehicle is involved in a recall. One option you might have is downloading the 'over-the-air' software update offered by Kia. This software update can be downloaded directly to your vehicle. You can also visit a local Kia dealership to have the issue resolved.
