The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
- Chrysler is recalling certain 2019 Ram 2500, 3500 and 3500 Cab Chassis trucks. The brake calipers may have been manufactured with an incorrect assembly fluid, which can cause the caliper’s rubber seals to swell. The swollen seals can cause the brakes to drag, potentially overheating the brakes and increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 5,495 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Jayco is recalling certain 2019-2020 Eagle HT fifth wheel trailers equipped with MORyde Orbital or You Turn Rubber Pin Box Wedge Kits. The pin boxes may have been equipped with bolts 1-3/4 in. in length when they should be equipped with 2 in. long bolts. When the pin box is unlocked, the incorrect length bolts may allow the rotating pin box to rotate in two places, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 870 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Lion Electric Company is recalling certain 2018 Lion C electric school buses. The electrical contacts for power connector of the auxiliary brake pump may not be adequately secured. Loose connectors in the auxiliary pump may result in a loss of braking ability should the main hydraulic pump unexpectedly fail, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially nine vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2020 Chateau, Daybreak, Four Winds, Freedom Elite, Majestic, Outlaw and Quantum motorhomes. The battery cables may loosen on the battery isolation manager (BIM) or battery isolation relay (BIR), causing premature BIN/BIR failure or electrical arcing.
