Daimler Trucks North America announced it is recalling approximately 4,006 2020-2023 47X and 49X vehicles due to the potential of the hood bezel covers detaching.
Deatched hood bezel covers may cause a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will remove and replace the hood bezel covers, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 28, 2022.
Ford Motor Company also announced a recall. The company is recalling approximately 277,040 2017-2020 F-Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, and 2017-2020 Lincoln Continental vehicles equipped with the 360-degree camera system due to a cloudy camera lens. Degradation of the camera's anit-reflective lens coating can lead to a foggy or cloudy rearview camera image.
Ford said lack of a clear rearview camera image can reduce the driver's visibility of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the rearview camera, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 12, 2022.

Dealers will replace the ECM, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 15, 2022.
A smaller recall was announced from Rivian Automotive. Rivian is recalling approximately 207 2022 R1T and R1S vehicles. The front seat belt anchors may have been inadequately attached to the B-pillar, according to the company.
Rivian will inspect the front seat belt assemblies and, as necessary, properly secure the bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 14, 2022.
