If you drive a 2025 RAM 1500, a 2023–2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale, or a 2023–2025 Dodge Hornet, there’s a good chance your vehicle is under recall. Stellantis (formerly Fiat Chrysler) has announced a range of issues affecting these models — some of which involve critical safety systems.

For California drivers, especially those still under warranty, this could qualify for protection under the California Lemon Law.

What are the issues?

There are two major recalls currently underway:

  1. 2025 RAM 1500 – A software defect in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may cause it to display incorrect or missing tire pressure readings. That’s more than a dashboard annoyance — tire pressure is essential for safe driving.
  2. 2023–2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale & Dodge Hornet – These vehicles may have a faulty rearview camera system, which can result in a black screen when reversing. This isn’t just inconvenient — it’s a safety hazard.

Are repairs available?

Yes, but timelines and availability may vary:

  • RAM dealers are performing a software update to resolve the TPMS problem.
  • Tonale and Hornet repairs involve replacing rearview camera components — which may depend on parts availability.

As always, it’s important to document every service visit, especially if you experience delays, repeat repairs, or temporary fixes.

Why this matters under California Lemon Law

If your RAM, Tonale, or Hornet has been in for multiple repairs, or if it’s been out of service for extended periods, California’s Lemon Law might apply. This law gives you powerful rights, including:

  • A vehicle buyback or replacement
  • Reimbursement of payments or repair-related expenses
  • Legal fees covered by the manufacturer, not you

Even a single safety-related issue that isn’t fixed promptly can be enough to trigger Lemon Law protections in California.

What to do next:

  • If your vehicle has been affected by either of these recalls, contact your dealership for the latest repair schedule.
  • If you’ve already had issues with TPMS, your backup camera, or other electrical systems, gather your service records.
  • Don’t assume this is “just another recall” — you may have a legitimate Lemon Law claim.

You shouldn’t have to settle for a vehicle that can’t safely tell you your tire pressure or show you what’s behind you.

Porsche has issued a recall affecting two of its most popular electric vehicles: the 2022–2023 Taycan and the 2024–2025 Macan EV. While the Taycan faces a potential airbag malfunction, the Macan EV is dealing with a rearview camera issue — both of which raise serious safety concerns.

If you own one of these vehicles in California, here’s what you need to know — especially when it comes to your rights under the state’s Lemon Law.

What are the problems?

  • Taycan (2022–2023): A defect in the passenger seat sensor may cause the airbag to fail to deploy in a crash. Porsche is replacing the entire passenger seat cushion in affected vehicles to resolve the issue.
  • Macan EV (2024–2025): Owners are reporting rearview camera malfunctions due to wiring or software faults. Porsche plans to issue software updates and, where necessary, address hardware issues related to the camera system.

In both cases, these are active safety systems, and failure could put drivers and passengers at risk.

What’s being done?

Repairs are already underway at Porsche dealerships. Taycan owners will receive a new seat cushion with an updated sensor module. Macan EV owners will either receive a software patch or additional service to fix camera system components.

Why Lemon Law may apply in California

Here’s where things matter for Porsche owners in California: If your vehicle has required multiple trips to the dealer, or if these repairs leave your car out of service for an extended period, you may qualify for protection under the California Lemon Law.

That includes:

  • Safety system failures (like airbags or backup cameras)
  • Delays in getting proper parts or repairs
  • Ongoing electrical or software issues that affect performance or reliability

Even luxury vehicles like Porsche aren’t immune to defects — and when problems start to stack up, the law is on your side.

What you should do:

  • Keep a clear record of all repair visits and communication with Porsche service departments
  • Take note if you’re told parts are on backorder or if repairs are delayed
  • Reach out to a Lemon Law attorney if your vehicle continues to have issues or you’ve lost confidence in its safety

You invested in a high-end electric vehicle — and you have every right to expect high-end reliability and support.

A widespread Ford recall could impact your ability to safely back up your vehicle — and it might also qualify you for relief under California’s Lemon Law.

What’s going on?

Ford is recalling over 1 million vehicles due to a software glitch that affects the rearview camera. The image might freeze, lag, or not show up at all when you’re in reverse. That’s more than just an inconvenience — it’s a real safety issue, especially in tight parking lots or near pedestrians.

Which models are included?

  • Ford: 2021–2025 Bronco, Escape, Edge, Expedition, F-Series, Mustang, Mach-E, Ranger, Transit
  • Lincoln: Nautilus, Corsair, Navigator (2021–2025)

Ford plans to notify owners starting June 16, 2025, and repairs will be done either at the dealership or possibly via an over-the-air software update — depending on your vehicle.

Why California Lemon Law applies

If your rearview camera has failed repeatedly, or if the issue has made your vehicle unsafe to drive, California law may consider your car a “lemon.” Even if it’s just one issue, if it affects safety and the dealership can’t fix it in a reasonable amount of time, you might qualify for:

  • A replacement vehicle
  • A refund
  • Payment for out-of-pocket expenses

The law applies whether your car was new or used, as long as it’s still under the manufacturer’s warranty.

What to do if this affects you:

  • Check your records — has your camera failed before?
  • If so, document everything and keep copies of repair orders.
  • Don’t wait for the dealership to tell you what your options are. A Lemon Law attorney can evaluate your case for free, and most clients never pay out of pocket.

You deserve a vehicle that works the way it’s supposed to — especially when safety is involved.
