In other car recall news, Ford just recalled nearly 200,000 vehicles because of a glitch that might cause back seat occupants to become trapped.

Ford is recalling nearly 200,000 Mustang Mach-E vehicles. This is due to a safety issue that could trap people in the backseat due to a low battery charge that can cause the electronic door latches to stay locked after the front doors are shut.

"In the event of a low battery charge, the electronic door latches may remain locked once the driver or front passenger exits and shuts the door, possibly trapping someone who is unable to use the inside door release handles, such as a child in the back seat," the NHTSA states.
