The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
- Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2018-2021 Vision and All American school buses. The electric drive train cannot detect isolation faults when the high voltage contactors are closed. An undetected high voltage isolation can expose service personnel to high voltage, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 292 vehicles are affected by this recall.

The steering arm and tie rod bolts may have a defective seam that can fracture. A fractured bolt may cause loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 17,822 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- DTNA is recalling certain 2021-2022 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2, Saf-T-Liner EFX, and Saf-T-Liner HDX school buses.

NHTSA says potentially 1,738 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Omaha Standard is recalling certain 2019-2021 vehicles equipped with American Roll-Off Cable Hoist and Hook Lift products. Fatigue failure of the welded gusset may cause the tarp arms to break. Broken tarp arms may fail, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 82 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Paccar Incorporated is recalling certain 2022 Kenworth T440, T470, T800, and W900 vehicles. The starter interrupt may allow the vehicle to start when the transmission is not in PARK. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 102, "Transmission shift position sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking effect." Starting the vehicle when the transmission is not in PARK may cause unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 56 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Spartan Fire is recalling certain 2019-2021 Spartan Fire Gladiator and MetroStar vehicles. Pressure may build in the power steering pump and break the shaft seal, resulting in a loss of power steering assist. A loss of power steering assist may increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 243 vehicles are affected by this recall.
- Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company is recalling certain 2006-2021 VS2DC, VS2DX, VS3DX trailers. The horizontal weld that attaches a mild steel angle to the slider rail for super doubles/pintle hook operations may be missing.
