Two automakers issued a couple new recalls on Wednesday.
Mazda is recalling more than 300,000 Mazda 3 and Mazda 5 cars because of a possible steering problem.
The company says rust could cause the power system to shut down.
The federal government opened an investigation into the problem back in June.
Meanwhile, General Motors (GM) is recalling nearly 250,000 SUVs over concerns their backseat safety belts could be defective.
The models include the Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia and the Saturn Outlook.
GM said they haven't gotten any reports of accidents or injuries.
