Michigan Automotive Manufacturer Recalls 1.2 Million Vehicles For Software Glitch

The recalls have been raining down on us left and right as the FDA and other regulation departments are doing their best to keep us safe. We see recalls on food items, clothing, household items, toys, and even vehicles as they were either improperly manufactured or posed some kind of safety hazard. The idea of recalls is not to call out businesses but instead to inform the general public and keep them safe.

I have said this time and time again but I will say it once more, vehicle recalls are one of the scariest if not the scariest recalls that exist. It's already scary enough that we are operating a 2,000+ pound vehicle at high speeds but now you're telling me there may be something functionally wrong with my machine? Although this is the case, it is meant to let you know so that you can get the issue taken care of without hurting yourself or your wallet. Stellantis is in the headlines again as they are recalling over 1 million of their vehicles due to a software glitch that could cause injury.
