Several automakers are recalling certain models because they may pose a potential safety risk to owners, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Brands like BMW, Chrysler and Ford are recalling some vehicles due to safety hazards.

Here’s what you need to know to keep your family safe:
