The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Freightliner Business Class M2 and 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 1,532 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2019 Freightliner Sprinter and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles. The Operator’s Manual may not contain the correct information about how the automatic parking function (“Auto-P”) operates. If the driver relies on the Auto-P function as described in the Operator’s Manual, vehicle rollaway or movement may occur, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 52,127 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2019 Freightliner Sprinter and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles. The rear part of the fender liner on the front axle may contact and chafe the brake hose, possibly resulting in a loss of brake fluid. Loss of brake fluid can extend the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 48,775 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2021 E-350 and E-450 vehicles. A wire harness in the rear of the vehicle may contact the vehicle frame, resulting in damage to the circuits that support the fuel pump and the anti-lock braking system (ABS). Damage to the fuel pump circuit in the wiring harness could result in an unexpected engine stall. Damage to the ABS wiring can lead to reduction of ABS functionality and a loss of roll stability control functionality. These scenarios increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 2,871 vehicles are affected by this recall.
