The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a small crossover with a truck-like bed. Here, Hyundai says some 2025 models are being recalled because the car’s camera software can cause unexpected braking.
The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is a Tucson SUV that uses a hybrid powertrain. The recall mentioned here is tied to the front-camera software, which can make the car brake unexpectedly.
Unexpected braking means the car brakes on its own when you didn’t ask it to. The host is saying the recall is about software/sensor confusion that can make the car do that.
This is the car’s camera system that helps it detect what’s behind you. The host is describing a situation where the car’s sensing/logic can act up and cause sudden braking while backing out.
This means a suspension part called a control arm can separate. If it does, the wheel can stop pointing where it should, and the car may become hard or impossible to control.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is Toyota’s long-running, rugged SUV line, and the “hybrid” versions are the electrified variants. In this segment, the host is calling out specific model years (2024 and 2025) as part of the vehicles affected by the issue being discussed.
The Ford Ranger is a pickup truck that’s meant to carry things and handle daily driving. People talk about it a lot because some years and versions can be easier or harder to own. The podcast mentions it in connection with specific model years.
They’re talking about Ford vehicles (Bronco, Explorer, Ranger) from the 2025 and 2026 model years. The point is that there are recall/safety problems tied to those specific models.
Your seat belt is supposed to pull out and then lock in a crash, and it should also retract smoothly afterward. If the retractor doesn’t work right, the belt may not hold you the way it’s designed to.
They’re talking about GM vans—the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana—for the 2026 model year. The concern mentioned is that the transmission/gear selection may not behave correctly.
This means the van might not go into the gear the driver expects. If it lands in the wrong gear, the car can behave unexpectedly when you try to move or slow down.
They’re talking about the Subaru Forester and Forester Hybrid for 2026. The issue is with the moonroof glass—if it can detach, it’s a safety concern because it could fall or break loose.
Torque is the force that makes the car’s drivetrain twist and move. If a system isn’t calibrated for certain torque, it can behave incorrectly when the car is producing that amount of twisting force.
These are the belts meant to secure a wheelchair (and the person in it) inside a vehicle. If they don’t restrain properly, the person could move too much during sudden stops or crashes.
This is a Ram commercial van. The host is saying there are recalls for the 2026 model, meaning the manufacturer has identified a safety problem that needs fixing.
An auction is when people bid against each other for a car, and the highest bid wins. Online auctions can show what similar cars are selling for right now.
A convertible is a car where the roof can open up so you can drive with the top down. On older convertibles, the roof system is something to check carefully.
This is a 1967 Cadillac DeVille, and in this case it’s the convertible. That means you can take the top down, and it’s a big, classic American luxury car from the late 1960s.
The Cadillac Coupe De Ville is a large luxury car, and the podcast is talking about a 1967 convertible. A convertible means the roof can open, so there are extra parts involved compared with a normal closed car. The color and year make it a standout classic.
This is a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, a classic muscle car from the late 1960s. The hosts are talking about a yellow convertible version with a big V8 engine, and they’re trying to figure out which trim it is.
“SS” is a performance trim level on some Chevrolet models. On a 1969 Camaro, it usually means the car is set up to be quicker and more performance-focused than a standard version.
A “V8” is a type of engine with eight cylinders. When someone says “big V8,” they usually mean a larger, stronger engine that helps the car feel powerful.
The air cleaner is the part that filters the air before it goes into the engine. A “big” one often means the car has been modified to breathe more air, and the hosts say this one isn’t the original factory part.
A “factory air cleaner” is the original air filter part that the car left the factory with. If it’s not factory, it means someone swapped it out, which can change how the engine breathes and also affects how original the car is.
This is a 1964 Pontiac Bonneville, a large, classic American car that’s more about comfort and style than modern performance. The hosts are just starting to talk about it and mention its headlights.
The Buick Grand National is a classic American performance car. It’s known for having a turbocharged engine, and they’re talking about what one is worth.
The Buick Regal is a mid-size car, and the podcast is talking about an ’87 model. This one is described as turbocharged, which means it uses a forced-induction system to make more power. Turbo cars usually need careful maintenance to keep everything working properly.
“Four on the floor” means a manual transmission with four gears, and the shifter is on the floor. It’s a traditional driving feel you often hear about in older cars.
This is a 1965 Buick Special, and the big detail is that it’s a convertible. The speaker also mentions classic wheels, which is part of why it stands out.
Heater hoses are coolant lines that route hot engine coolant through the cabin heater core to warm the interior. If someone uses the wrong color or type of heater hoses, it can be a clue the car has had work done—or that the hoses aren’t original. In this segment, the host is reacting to “red heater hoses” as a detail that makes the car look less stock.
The BMW Z3 is a small two-seat sports roadster made by BMW. This one is a 2002, and the host says it has a straight-six engine, which is a smooth, punchy setup. They also mention it can come with a removable hard top, so you can run it as a coupe-style car or a convertible.
A “straight six” is an engine with six cylinders lined up in a row. It’s often known for running smoothly and pulling well. Here, the host is describing the BMW Z3’s engine setup.
This is a V8 engine that uses two turbochargers to make more power. The turbos force extra air into the engine so it can feel strong even as emissions rules get stricter.
This describes how the engine is built: “quad cam” means multiple camshafts control the valves, and “32 valve” means there are lots of valves for airflow. More valve control can help the engine make power efficiently.
This is a Mercedes-AMG performance SUV with a big twin-turbo V8. The hosts are saying Mercedes updated the engine so it can meet emissions rules without losing the same advertised power.
This is the AMG performance version of the GLS SUV. The point here is that the updated engine helps it get up to speed faster, even though the advertised power numbers stay the same.
A flat-plane crankshaft is a specific internal engine design that affects how the cylinders fire. The host says it helps the engine rev faster and feel more responsive, partly by reducing weight and changing the firing pattern.
SAE Level 4 is a way to describe how capable a self-driving system is. It means the car can handle driving on its own in certain situations and areas, without needing a human to constantly supervise.
LIVE
It is the In-Wheel Time Car Talk Show.
Just ahead, guess the sold car price.
And is your car on the recall list?
Uh-oh.
We got the latest.
Jeff has the cruise in and events calendar, plus this week's top automotive news stories.
Howdy along with Mike out of this World Mars.
We always need more, Jeff Zekin, Chief Engineer David Hensley is with us today.
Well, he's not with us in person, but I guarantee he's listening to every word.
If he is.
Absolutely.
And being ugly about it as well.
He's probably said a lot of words.
Oh, I know he is.
Yes.
Yeah.
I know I've known him a long time.
So, I'm Don Armstrong.
Glad you could join us on this Saturday for our live show.
And we're going to start off this segment of the show with our recall list.
I got a doozy to start off with.
A doozy.
You like doozy?
You give me a doozy.
So if you own a Hyundai, check this out.
I don't.
They've issued a recall for more than 421,000 vehicles, including the 2025 and 26 models
of Santa Cruz, Tucson, Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plugin Hybrid.
The issue arises from a software issue in the front cameras, which may inadvertently
trigger the forward collision avoidance system causing the brakes to engage without warning.
I hate that.
Huh?
Go on.
Yeah.
I've got a story.
According to the Hyundai recall, this unexpected braking significantly increases the risk of
a crash.
Yeah, I think.
When I back out of the garage and it's raining, the rear camera sensor, the rear on the bumpers,
you're driving out, you're doing maybe a mile an hour, you're backing out of the driveway
and it'll lock.
It'll absolutely lock you in your seat and you can bump your head and all.
If you're looking out the window, you hit you.
Oh, it's terrible.
Yeah.
I know.
I've, I've experienced that myself in some of these press vehicles that I drive.
Kathy's does the same thing.
Other recalls.
Do not drive loss of control from control arm, arm separation.
So you got one wheel going this way and another wheel going that way.
Ford Bronco sport.
Oh, no.
Wait.
21 through 26.
Ford Maverick 22 through 20.
Are they on the same line?
They must be.
They must be.
Oh my God.
Where they made, does it say?
I didn't know.
Didn't say.
The meaning difference.
Well, yeah, it doesn't, but.
Loss of control from control arm separation.
That's not good.
We move on instrument panel display failure.
Lexus GX 2024 UX hybrid 25 Toyota Land Cruiser hybrid 24 and 25 and Toyota Marai 2024.
What's Marai?
I don't know.
I don't have one.
I've never, I've never had one.
Why don't they put those in the press?
I don't know.
Loss of drive power from engine failure.
Ford Bronco Explorer Ranger 25 and 26.
I think you go back to 21 on.
Seat belt may fail to retract or extend.
Ford Expedition 18 through 22.
What the heck they're getting there?
Navigator 18 through 22.
I know the president of Ford Motor Company has said repeatedly, we really need to get
the recalls under control.
You think incorrect gear may be selected in the Chevrolet Express and Savannah from GMC
the 2026 model year.
I didn't even think that they were making that thing anymore.
I didn't either.
Moon roof glass made detach in the Subaru Forester and Forester Hybrid for 2026.
The Savannah seat van, right?
Yeah.
Savannah and both their vans.
GMC the other.
The question is, is the driver pulling the wrong gear or is the driver.
I would imagine that the driver may select you know drive and then somehow some way it
gets discombobulated and puts it in low or something.
I don't know something rear seat belt bolts may not be tightened properly and pretty much
every Mercedes Benz that you can think of AMG's, GL E's, GLS, all of them from the 2026
model year.
I guess they had some sort of a pneumatic wrench fail or something and they just kind
of okay.
That's not yeah.
Not Calc Calibrated for certain torque.
Let's go to a driver seat belt strap may not extend.
Martha, I can't get out.
Can you tell your ride and hybrid 2027 and for me wheel chair seat belts
may not properly restrain the occupants.
Don't you hate when that happens?
Look, there goes down out the back doors.
Can't have anything nice anymore.
Just can't have anything.
Ram Pro Master Van 2026.
Those my friend are the recalls.
Kid a lot.
Funny not funny.
Yeah, it's sad in a way.
Yeah, there goes Don.
No, I'm just to recall the Ford.
We left him back there in the intersection.
You wouldn't think Mercedes would even be close to that list.
So I know you wouldn't think.
All right.
Now the fun part.
That's dude.
All right.
Hemmings sold car roundup.

So the first one up is for you, Jeff.
All right.
You know your passion about cat.
This my friends is a 1967 Cadillac Coupe Deville convertible.
And it's purple.
Kind of purple.

He bought it straight from the police
Auction and he's had it ever since so you really got a one-on. Let me kind of it was one of those transfer cars

They call it banana yellow or something or something to do with the fruit have no
Anyway, it's kind of banana yellow. I don't know what the color is officially, but I'm stumped. Are you what year again?

Yeah
all right
Getting close to the end again. This is for you Jeff a 1965 Buick special
It's green with a black convertible. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's a convertible. It's got a wire wheel covers on it
Not not a not a big volume vehicle, but
It's got clean lines. This is 1965. Mm-hmm. Throw yourself back there. Mm-hmm. So what do you think that that thing sold for?
It's been garaged a lot. Yeah, it looks like it's in good shape. It's got some nice wheels
I need a new top on it, but whatever. Yeah, Jeff Heisman says 13. I was gonna go 12
Yeah, it looks pretty good. Yeah, it does. It's nice
Reg the top looks intact doesn't have any broken glass or panels in the back plastic
George is little under
Grendel
$700
That's brilliant. Let's family 7500
That's pretty close to that's a good. That's a good bargain. They're 75 for David as well
Well, David and the Lusk are gonna have to share driving responsibilities because it's sold for 8500 dollars. Oh, man
That would be a hit the rest families. It looks rough
Well, I agree with them actually but who would put red
Heater hoses in it and the guy that replaced them. Yeah, I know that's wrong
Well, we're on a black. Oh, I'll take the red. That'll be fine. Oh, no
And the reds for the hot for the heater. Oh, no kind of no red heater hoses
Good call Mike. All right. Now. Here's one. They're really kind of surprised me. This is a 2002
BMW Z3
Now if I'm not mistaken, I think this has a straight six in it 3.0 in line. Yeah
Have you ever driven one of these no, I haven't it's a little rocket ship from BMW
Yeah, but that straight six didn't waver very much. It's a two-seat sports car and it has
Well, we know that it's got the removable hard top might have the the convertible
Soft top on I think it does there's a picture of it. So it's got two tops
It's extra clean looking and so all looks like it's completely stock
Z3 21 you said it's a 21. It's a 2002 2002. Yeah. All right. I'm gonna go
I'm gonna go 17 17 Jeff says 17. All right. Good. Good call Jeff
George 35 999 I think that you're gonna be surprised less family 42
And David says 25 it's sold for
13,643 dollars. Yeah, that would be something that I have miles on it
Huh, you could have high miles on it. I doubt it
A lot of miles on it has been slightly modified because it said it was factory was 237 horses and it's now rated at 250
So, oh, so they put an exhaust in
Something like that, but they they're not just not real popular cars
No, they're not rocket ships. Like you said. Yeah, they are Stan actually had one of those at one time
Anyway, interesting. Yeah. Thank you all for playing
We'll have more next week coming up
Jeff has the cruise in an events calendars and I'll have the stories making automotive news headlines this week again

US electric vehicle registrations are recovering from the loss of federal tax credits with April's 9.8 percent decline
Marking the smallest year-over-year drop so far this year and a signal the market market is stabilizing US
New EV registrations fell to
89,147 in April compared with the same month the year ago according to S&P global monthly
Yet, that's the highest tally of 2026
Evie share of the US light vehicle market held steady at 6.2 percent the same as in March
But down from 6.6 a year ago Tesla course leading the pack they were up
In April up 13% they sold 45,800 cars all the rest of them are so far behind it's unbelievable
Mitsubishi motors and you know, I've not really ever been a big fan
But I think that they're going to try to make some waves in the US car market talked about this in the past
Mitsubishi motors no longer just talking about an American comeback is rolling out the medal to prove it
Japanese automaker delivered a much needed shot of adrenaline to its retailers this month
previewing its first modern EV
Arriving in early fall the next generations of its workhorse crossovers in a rugged flagship
SUV that could reshape the brand's future
Dealers broadly praised the pivot toward larger more profitable crossovers SUVs and pickups
The segments where customers demand and margins are the strongest
Mitsubishi's a niche player one dealer said I don't want to sell
$20,000 cars nor do we want to buy them?
That's why that is that yeah
Mercedes-Benz is giving its four-liter twin turbo V8 a major update
That enables the quad cam 32 valve high performance engine to meet strict remission
Standards on the books in some global markets move as part of a broader plan to boost sales of the high performance limited production
AMG line to
200,000 units annually although horsepower and torque ratings remain the same at
603 and
627 pound feet Mercedes says the engine in the tune 2027 AMG GLE 63 s and
AMG GLS 63 delivers slightly quicker 0 to 60 mark my miles per hour acceleration times
With both vehicles reaching it in under four seconds. It's ain't nothing to sneeze at well
The biggest change to the engine a flat plane crankshaft
The new crank reduces engine weight revs faster and with the cylinders firing in an alternating pattern between left and right air flow
Through the in redesigned intake and exhaust ports is more. See that was my question. You got the four
44 valve four cam four cam quad cam those lobes are probably really tiny
Oh, yeah, and they're probably really short in length and then you got the crank
I was gonna ask a question about the crank, but you answer that so that's a tiny compact little
Powerhouse I'm thinking
Recall in the future. It won't be one of the
No pop-hop hop hop hop hop. It's gonna be a yeah, it won't be that we should start a car company. Just called recall
I'm going to buy recall
No, we're not

General Motors can leverage its high-rate manufacturing capabilities
GM competes completes a new vehicle somewhere in the world every five seconds
They're gonna be taking lessons and they're gonna be taking business
And high fuel prices spurred by the war in Iran have pushed customers across the industry away from expensive pickups and SUVs
Faster than General Motors executives expected. I'm not gonna sit here and say it's permanent yet
GM North American President Duncan all red said at a Center for
Automotive Research Conference in Ipsilati West of Detroit
But we are seeing somewhat of a shrinking of pickup trucks
Full-size utilities and some of the heavier vehicles and an increase in more affordable segments of the industry
You think?
Several weeks into the Middle East conflict CECFO Paul Jacobson told investors that it usually takes around six months of sustained
High prices for people to start considering cheaper more fuel efficient options
Wow
So take that to the bank and Chevrolet is coming out with a bunch of new v8's
And that's coming up in the new pickup truck that was debuted this past week
When you should be on the lookout for that when you say new v8, so you're saying horsepower
configuration drop in the 5.3. Okay. Hey
Be sure and join us every week for our live show. We're gonna wrap up today's show right after this break

About this episode
The hosts kick off with a recall roundup, starting with a Hyundai front-camera software issue that can trigger forward collision avoidance and unexpected braking—complete with a rainy backing-out story. They then rattle off other safety-related recall-style problems across brands, including seat belt retractor/strap concerns and even moonroof glass detachment. The conversation pivots to how tech and emissions compliance are reshaping vehicles, including a Mercedes AMG V8 update and robo-taxi Level 4 plans, before shifting into classic car auction talk and local meetups.
Your car can be perfectly fine one day and on a recall list the next and some of these aren’t minor. We kick things off with a no-nonsense rundown of fresh automotive recalls, including a Hyundai software issue tied to the front camera that can accidentally trigger forward collision avoidance and cause sudden braking. We also talk through recalls touching control arms, instrument panel displays, and seat belt problems across multiple brands, plus why “it only happens once” is still a safety problem.
Then we switch gears into pure car-nerd fun with the Hemmings sold car price roundup. We put real auction results against our best guesses and let the market do the talking, from a classic Cadillac convertible and a former police Chevy Caprice to a 1969 Camaro convertible, a Pontiac Bonneville, a Buick Grand National, and a surprisingly affordable BMW Z3. If you’ve ever wondered what condition, originality, and hype actually do to prices, this segment makes it real fast.
We wrap with our cruise in and events calendar, then hit the week’s biggest automotive news: U.S. EV registrations stabilizing, Tesla’s continued lead, Mitsubishi teasing a stronger U.S. lineup, Mercedes updating its AMG twin turbo V8 with a flat plane crank to meet stricter emissions rules, and the expanding robotaxi race through partnerships aimed at Level 4 autonomy. We also connect high fuel prices to changing demand for full-size pickups and SUVs, and what that could mean for new vehicle shopping.
