The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Autocar is recalling certain 2015-2020 Xspotter vehicles. The headlamp relay may disconnect from the fuse box, causing the headlights to shut off. Headlights failing can cause reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 3,448 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Autocar is recalling certain 2016-2019 Xspotter vehicles. Due to the placement of the shift pad, the shift pad may fail, and not display the transmission range or sequence. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, “Transmission Shift Lever Sequence/Starter Interlock/Transmission Braking Effect.” If the shift pad display fails, the operator will not know the transmission range or sequence information, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says potentially 156 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Micro Bird is recalling certain 2015-2019 T-Series school buses. The 150A circuit breaker located under the driver’s seat may be oversized and may not open fast enough to power off the electrical panel supply, which can lead to overheating of the wires. If the wires overheat, there is an increased risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 1,863 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Micro Bird is recalling certain 2015-2019 CT-Series shuttle buses. The 150A breaker located under the driver’s seat may be oversized and may not open fast enough to power off the electrical panel supply, which can lead to overheating of the wires. If the wires overheat, there is an increased risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 134 vehicles are affected by this recall.
