Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Porsche just recalled every Taycan as well for a brake hose that can leak.
Tesla, Ford and Porshe all back to back.
Someone, university or something looked into this once, and found that something like 70% of the time recalls happen in groups like this as OEMs wait for others to announce their recalls first as they take the bigger stock /media hit. Then anyone else who had one but hadn't announced it yet jumps in and doesn't suffer as much.
Seems like it works because I haven’t seen a post about Porsche. I just learnt about it from your comment.
Ya, that's how it goes.
Here it is

It says on average 7.6 following recalls get announced, so we might get a few more!
Add Honda CRV fuel pumps to that. Can cause the engine to just shut off at any time. And Honda won't even have the parts available until the fall unless you are currently experiencing issues related to the fuel pump.
Now GM bolts

I wonder how long they can "hold onto" a recall like this while waiting for others to announce one first.
Is it just like, oh there's so much paperwork so we have a 6 month window, and it doesn't even matter since the parts aren't available until the fall anyway?
There should probably be better rules on holding info back.
