BMW recalls:Over 720,000 vehicles due to water pump malfunction that may cause a fire

Tesla recall for roof trim separation

Tesla is recalling 9,136 of its 2016 Model X vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the automotive company said,"the front and center roof cosmetic trim pieces may be adhered to the vehicle without primer." As a result, one or both pieces of trim may separate from the vehicle, the report said. If a trim separates from the vehicle while driving, it can create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.

As a remedy, Tesla service will test the roof trim adhesion and reattach the trim pieces as necessary. This service will be completed for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent on Oct. 14. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-24-12-008. Vehicles previously repaired under recall 20V-710 will need to have the new inspection and remedy completed.

Recalled vehicles:

• 2016 Model X

BMW is recalling 1,150 of its 2024 i4 eDrive40, xDrive40, and M50 vehicles.

For water pump malfunction that may cause a fire
