The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
- Paccar is recalling certain 2020 Peterbilt 520 and 579 vehicles and Kenworth T680, T880 and W990 vehicles. The mirror glass may detach from the mirror carrier plate due to inadequate adhesion. If the mirror glass detaches, the driver may have reduced visibility and the mirror glass will become a road hazard that may strike another vehicle or pedestrian, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says potentially 3,907 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Spartan Motors is recalling certain 2004-2016 Emergency Response Gladiator Tractor Drawn Aerial vehicles. Cracks may develop and extend into the vertical portions of the tiller frame, resulting in instability of the aerial device. If the aerial device becomes unstable, the device may fall, increasing the risk of an injury. NHTSA says potentially 45 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Taylor Made Ambulances is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ford E-350, F-450, E-450, F-550, and GMC G3500-based ambulances equipped with Whelen brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 17 vehicles are affected by the recall.
