Teen Driver service

DETROIT

Chevrolet’s new Teen Driver Technology supports certain safe-driving practices by muting the radio or the audio of any paired device when front-seat occupants aren’t wearing their safety belts.

It also gives audible and visual warnings when the vehicle is traveling faster than preset speeds, and allows parents to limit the maximum volume of the radio.

Teen Driver is a nonsubscription-based service that remains with the vehicle permanently and is available on the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV, Camaro, Colorado, Cruze, Malibu, Silverado, Silverado HD, Suburban, Tahoe and Volt. To use the safety technology, a parent must register their teen’s key fob in the vehicle’s system settings.

Ford recalls more than 88K vehicles

DETROIT

Ford is recalling more than 88,000 cars and SUVs in North America because the engines can stall without warning due to a fuel-pump problem.

The recall covers certain Ford Taurus and Police Interceptor sedans, Ford Flex wagons, Lincoln MKS sedans and Lincoln MKT SUVs from the 2013 through 2015 model years. All have 3.5-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engines.

Ford says the fuel-pump control modules can fail, and the engines may not start, or they could stall, leaving drivers without the ability to restart them. The company says it’s not aware of any crashes or injuries from the problem.
