The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
- LA West is recalling certain 2018-2019 Ford Transit vehicles modified to be equipped with glass roof hatches. Temperature and vibration stresses may cause the tempered glass roof hatch to shatter. If the tempered glass roof hatch shatters, glass fragments may fall onto passengers, increasing the risk of an injury. NHTSA says potentially 15 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Freightliner Business Class M2 and 2020 Freightliner 108SD vehicles equipped with Meritor MX 120 EVO front drive steer axles. The axles may have insufficient lubrication, which may result in damage to the wheel end bearings. If the bearings are damaged, the wheel may separate and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of crash. NHTSA says potentially 809 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- DTNA is recalling certain 2010-2020 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2, 2016-2019 HDX and 2017-2019 EFX school buses equipped with Bendix air disc brakes. The driver side rear brakes may drag. The dragging brakes may lead to high temperatures at the wheel end, increasing the risk of smoke and fire, possibly resulting in the bus having to be evacuated, which can cause the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 11,546 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Godwin Manufacturing Company (Godwin) is recalling certain 2017 453USS10/26 dump body vehicles 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 crash. NHTSA says potentially 10 vehicles are affected by the recall.
