The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Daimler Coaches North America is recalling certain 2022-2024 Tourrider Business and Premium coaches. The 120-Volt passenger outlets may not be secured properly, allowing them to detach. A detached 120-Volt outlet can shock passengers, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 66 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2024 Freightliner M2 Business Class vehicles. The vehicle may be incorrectly equipped with a transmission gear shifter that includes a 'PARK' position despite the transmission not having a park pawl. When shifted into PARK, the transmission will actually be in NEUTRAL, increasing the risk of a vehicle rollaway and crash. NHTSA says potentially 1,314 units are affected by the recall.
- DTNA is recalling certain 2024 Thomas Built SAF-T-LINER C2 Jouley and 2023-2024 FCCC MT50E electric transit buses. The high voltage inverter cable may not be secured properly, which can result in a loss of drive power. A loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 26 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2022-2023 Mercedes-Benz Metris vehicles. The fuel pump may shutdown, causing a loss of drive power. A loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 13,736 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2019-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles. The longitudinal frame members may be missing reinforcement fasteners, reducing vehicle stability and decreasing the structural integrity of the third-row seats. Reduced stability increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, the third-row seat mountings can fail, increasing the risk of injury during a crash. NHTSA says potentially 3,739 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2019-2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles. The partition wall may be missing bolts, allowing the wall to detach during a crash. A detached partition wall can increase the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 387 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles. The connection between the propeller shaft bearing and crossmember may loosen, reducing vehicle control. Reduced vehicle control increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, the propeller shaft may damage the fuel tank during a crash, causing a leak and increasing the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially nine units are affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2023 F-150 and Ford SD F250, F350, F450, F550, and F600 vehicles. The steering wheel clock spring may have an insufficient weld, causing a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag. A deactivated air bag will not deploy during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 17,970 units are affected by the recall.
