Recalls: 20V-746 & 20V-759 - Hyundai is recalling approximately 130,000 vehicles due to a potential failure of a connecting rod bearing that could result in a catastrophic event. If a connecting rod were to break, it could breach the engine block leading to a loss of propulsion and a potential vehicle fire.

Nissan is recalling approximately 7,500 2020 Nissan Titans. These vehicles are subject to a short circuit within part of the engine wiring harness due to a harness assembly error. The short is internal to the wiring harness where grounded shielding within the harness could saw its way into another circuit.
