The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles equipped with a single exhaust system. Contact with the rear axle housing may damage the wiring harness, causing the electric parking brake to activate unexpectedly. Unexpected activation of the electric parking brake while driving increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 870,701 units are affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2014-2016 Transit Connect vehicles. The front door latch pawl may crack and prevent the door from latching. An unlatched door can open while driving, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 112,225 units are affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2023 Escape, Super Duty F-250, Super Duty F-350, Super Duty F-450, and Super Duty F-550 vehicles equipped with a digital instrument panel cluster. The module may have been improperly soldered, preventing the instrument panel from illuminating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Control and Displays." An inoperable instrument panel cannot show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, which may increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 38,695 units are affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2023 Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 vehicles. If the driver and front passenger door module experiences a low power condition and resets while the window is moving, the anti-pinch function may not detect an obstacle near the top edge and may not automatically reverse direction. A window that does not automatically reverse when an obstruction is encountered increases the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 1,339 units are affected by the recall.
- Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2024 LR garbage trucks. The reinforcing floor welds may be missing from around the passenger seat pedestal, reducing floor strength. The pedestal may buckle during a crash, preventing the passenger seat from properly restraining a passenger. NHTSA says potentially 19 units are affected by the recall.
- Paccar is recalling certain 2023 Peterbilt 548, 2023-2024 Peterbilt 536, 537, 2023-2024 Kenworth T280, 2023 Kenworth T480, and 2024 Kenworth T380 vehicles. The adhesive thread-lock may not have been applied to the four flange mounted yoke bolt threads, allowing the driveline fasteners to loosen. Loose fasteners may allow the driveline to separate from the truck, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 19 units are affected by the recall.
- Quality Vans is recalling certain 2020-2023 Ford Transit vans equipped with Onan QG 2800i EVAP generators, part number 2.8HGLAA-8303A. The fuel hose between the inline fuel filter and the Injection Pump Module (IPM) may not be properly secured, which can cause a gas leak. A gasoline leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of fire. NHTSA says potentially 10 units are affected by the recall.
- Titan Bus is recalling certain 2017-2021 SRW and DRW school and multi-function school activity buses. The warning label may be missing from the Cross View Mirror. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility." Without a warning label the driver may rely on the mirror to see the location of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 69 units are affected by the recall.
- Vanguard National Trailer Corporation is recalling all 2023-2024 trailer models built after November 2022 and equipped with a SAF Holland Tire Pilot Plus (TPP) tire inflation system. The TPP electronic controller may open the check valves, causing the tires to deflate. A loss of tire pressure while driving can lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 15 units are affected by the recall.
- Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2022-2024 VNR, VNL, VHD, and VAH trucks. The windshield wiper motor gears may wear prematurely, causing the motor to fail. Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 55,012 units are affected by the recall.
