The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Chrysler is recalling certain 2012-2021 RAM 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis, 4500 Cab Chassis, and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles. Incorrect information in the Service and Owner's Manuals may cause the flanged lug nuts to be over-tightened, which could result in a broken wheel stud and possible wheel separation. Wheel separation can cause a vehicle crash. NHTSA says potentially 447,985 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles equipped with the camper upfit option. The Electronic Stability Control (ESP) software was not updated for vehicles with a higher center of gravity. The ESP may not respond as intended during certain driving scenarios, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 168 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2021 F-150 vehicles. The two-piece driveshafts may have been improperly assembled, which could result in driveshaft separation. Driveshaft separation may result in a sudden loss of drive power, or unintended vehicle movement if the vehicle is in park without the parking brake applied, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 4,436 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2021 F-150 vehicles. The steering gear may have internal damage, which could result in difficulty steering, or the inability to rotate the steering wheel while driving. Loss of steering control can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 220 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Great Dane Trailers is recalling certain 2022 Champion trailers equipped with air disc brakes. The brake caliper mounting bolts may be insufficiently tightened, allowing the bolts to loosen. Loose brake caliper mounting bolts can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 50 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2017-2022 Dutch Star, 2017-2019 Mountain Aire, 2019-2021 Ventana and 2021 New Aire motorhomes. The sealing washer may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, allowing the high pressure fuel rail assembly to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 1,294 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 2017-2021 Arrow XT, Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, Saber, and Velocity vehicles. The sealing washer may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, allowing the high pressure fuel rail assembly to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 2,416 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2022 Rize, Scope, Sequence, and Tellaro vehicles. The Flex-190 Solar Panel junction box may short. An electrical short can cause the junction box to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 53 vehicles are affected by the recall.
