We are approaching the weekend and with it come the calls for review by the European Commission. As you know, although they are not the only ones that are carried out – there are manufacturers who do them on their own for minor things – they are important because they are serious problems that can affect the safety of drivers and other road users. .
The most relevant of our protagonists today are the Ferrari and McLaren sports cars. Both the Italian firm and the British manufacturer take the cake with recalls for a handful of models. There is also no lack of best-selling models such as the Toyota Yaris / C-HR and Renault Arkana; the desired Toyota GR-Yaris or the Ford Mustang Mach-E, which returns to the list.
