General Motors (GM) is recalling 107 Bolt electric vehicles due to potential fire hazards. The recall affects certain 2020-2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV and 2022 Bolt EUV models.

GM advises owners to take precautions until the software is correctly installed.
Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, is recalling over 154,000 Jeep plug-in hybrid SUVs in the U.S. due to fire risks.

Owners are advised to not recharge their vehicles and park them away from structures until a remedy is implemented. The recall also comes as Stellantis lowered its financial guidance for 2024, citing efforts to reduce inventory levels.
Humane has issued an urgent warning to owners of its Ai Pin device, instructing them to immediately cease using the charging case due to a potential fire safety hazard. The issue stems from an anomaly discovered with the battery cell within the case, prompting Humane to prioritize customer safety and discontinue use. Despite the inconvenience, Humane is providing two free months of its subscription service as compensation and actively seeking a replacement charging case supplier. The Ai Pin, Battery Booster, and charging pad remain unaffected by the issue.
