| Happy Monday! It's Charisse Jones with the Daily Money headlines to get your week started. |
| Ford, Hyundai and BMW are among the car manufacturers who are recalling over 391,000 vehicles for reasons ranging from faulty camera systems to leaky fuel tanks. |
| The carmakers reported the issues to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last week. |
| The recalled vehicles include 382,759 Ford Explorers, Corsair SUVs and Lincoln Aviators that have a flawed back-up camera system that turns the video monitor blue, and 326 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Plug-in cars with faulty fuel tanks. |
| To see if your vehicle is being recalled, check USA TODAY's automotive recall database or the database provided by the NHTSA. |
| The food industry also had a recall. Nearly 53,000 pounds of sausage products from Rhode Island-based Daniele International LLC are being recalled because they might be contaminated with listeria, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. |
| No illnesses have been reported, but the ready-to-eat salamis and Italian- and Spanish-style charcuterie platters were marketed under several brand names. |
| Business lunches in 2022 get a big tax break |
| Companies and small business owners filling out their 2022 returns may be in for a treat. |
| If they bought business-related meals and beverages for their employees from a restaurant in 2021 and 2022, they could deduct 100% of the cost. That's up from the 50% deduction for those meals that was in place before the pandemic. |
| But the deduction doesn't apply if you bought your staffers lunch from a supermarket or vending machine. And it will drop back down to 50% this year. |
 | | Ford has been one of the car company stars of the past year. Now it faces rising costs and a recession. Is its dividend safe? | | BalkansCat / iStock Editorial via Getty Images | |
