Whether it’s hauling hay, navigating a treacherous mountain pass, or just enduring yet another winter storm, our cars and trucks need to be reliable.

But what happens when a manufacturer throws a wrench (hopefully not literally) into the equation with a major recall?

Well, that’s exactly what’s happening now. A new nationwide recall has been issued, and it’s hitting us Montana drivers hard.

We’re talking about thousands of vehicles with a potentially dangerous defect—one that could put you, your passengers, and everyone else on the road at risk.

And before you assume your truck or SUV is in the clear, you might want to check the list.

The recall affects a range of models from well-known brands, covering issues like brake failures, airbag malfunctions, and even engine fires. Yes, engine fires. (As if winter wasn’t already hard enough on us.)

If your vehicle is on the list, you’ll want to act fast—because the last thing you need is to find out about a critical defect while cruising down I-90.

So, what vehicles are included in this recall? Here’s the full list:

If you see your car or truck on that list, don’t panic—but do take action. Recalls are typically covered by the manufacturer, which means you won’t be on the hook for repairs. Check with your local dealership, schedule an appointment, and get that fix taken care of.

Montana roads are unpredictable enough without throwing faulty brakes or surprise engine fires into the mix. Stay safe out there.
