The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2018-2019 Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500 and 4500 vehicles. The rear side windows may be single-pane safety glass instead of laminated safety glass. In the event of a side impact crash or vehicle rollover, the fitted side windows may not adequately protect the rear occupants from being ejected, increasing their risk of injury. An unexpected loss of drive and power steering may increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 1,079 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Micro Bird is recalling certain 2019 MBII propane-powered vehicles equipped with a main battery cut-off switch. If the main battery cut-off switch is activated, the propane conversion controller grounding wire may melt. A melted grounding wire may result in a short-circuit, increasing the risk of a fire in the engine compartment. NHTSA says potentially 52 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2019-2020 VAH, VHD, VNL, and VNR vehicles. The t-bolt clasps on the transmission auxiliary air tank straps may have been over-tightened, resulting in potential deformation to the strap where the t-bolt is anchored. The deformation of the air tank strap t-bolts may cause the t-bolt to disconnect from the strap allowing the tank to drop to the ground and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 24,848 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2018-2020 VAH, VHD, VNL, and VNR vehicles. The fuse in the transmission circuit may blow, preventing the transmission from shifting. If the fuse blows the transmission may not shift, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 235 vehicles are affected by this recall.
