The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (Platform 907) vehicles equipped with high-beam assist. A software error in the control unit may prevent the driver from being able to switch off the high beams when intended. Being unable to turn off the high beams may result in oncoming traffic being blinded by the vehicle’s lights, increasing the risk of crash. NHTSA says potentially 1,517 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Mobility Transportation Services is recalling certain 2014-2018 Ford Transit and Ram Promaster vehicles and 2014-2015 Ford Econoline vehicles modified to be equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats, part numbers 43705, 45467, 48923, and 75719. When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 2,080 vehicles are affected by the recall.
