California led the nation in car thefts last year, followed by Texas. Meanwhile, Illinois experienced the highest spike from 2021, followed by Washington and New York, according to a new report.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the probe covers an estimated 120,000 vehicles from the 2023 model year.

Tesla announced it is recalling thousands of Model Y vehicles in the U.S. after learning bolts securing the second-row seat back frames may be loose.

U.S. safety regulators have pressured Tesla into recalling nearly 363,000 vehicles with its “Full Self-Driving” system because it misbehaves around intersections and doesn’t always follow speed limits.

Ford says the fire was discovered on Feb. 4, and production stopped a day later. The company adds it has no reason to believe electric pickups already in use by customers are affected by the battery issue.

The company hasn’t developed a repair yet. Customers will get an interim letter in early April, followed by a letter telling them when to go to a dealer for service.

The updates are free for millions of vehicles that are missing a key anti-theft device, an issue that was exploited on social media and led to rampant theft of the cars.

The new month-to-month car subscription program includes insurance and maintenance for the Kona Electric or Ioniq 5 with no long-term commitment.
