Drivers were warned as Ford, Toyota and Honda were forced to enter vehicle recalls

Drivers are being warned about recalls from three major brands that could see drivers involved in serious accidents if they are not fixed soon.

Major car brands are required to inform drivers and vehicles if there is anything wrong with their cars that could cause an accident.

If a problem occurs, the manufacturer will always arrange for the repair to be completed free of charge, with drivers largely removed from the process.

GB News has collected the most important car recalls from the past few weeks to warn drivers of any problems they may face with their cars.

Vehicles featured in the recall include models of the Bronco Sport SUV between 2021 and 2024, as well as the Maverick pickup truck produced between 2022 and 2023.
