The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA): 

  • Altec Industries is recalling certain 2011-2016 AT200A aerial devices. Cracks may develop in the legs of the mounting frame, which can cause the mounting frame side plate to break. A broken side plate may result in pedestal and truck frame separation, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 2,115 vehicles are affected by the recall.    
  • Altec Industries is recalling certain 2016-2021 LS87 aerial devices. The outer-race rotation bearing bolt washers may interfere with an adjacent pedestal weld, which could cause the rotation bearing bolts to break. Broken bolts can cause the pedestal to separate from the turntable, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 94 vehicles are affected by the recall.    
  • Entegra Coach is recalling certain 2021-2022 Anthem, Aspire, and Reatta XL Class A vehicles equipped with Cummins L9 diesel engines that have remote Stage 2 fuel filters and pressurized hoses. A fuel leak may occur in the fuel hoses between the fuel pump and the remote fuel filter head. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 119 vehicles are affected by the recall.    
  • Jayco is recalling certain 2019-2021 Entegra Anthem, Aspire, Cornerstone, Reatta, Reatta XL, and Jayco Embark Class A motorhomes. The instrument cluster may intermittently go blank while the vehicle is in motion. A blank instrument cluster display may be missing critical information such as the vehicle's speed and warning lights, which can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 994 vehicles are affected by the recall.    
  • Paccar is recalling certain 2022 Peterbilt 567 and 579 vehicles. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction indicator lamp may not illuminate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 136, "Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles." The driver may be unaware of an ESC system malfunction, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 19 vehicles are affected by the recall.    
  • Paccar is recalling certain 2020-2021 Peterbilt 520 vehicles. The quick release valve on the rear brake signal hose may be missing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 121, "Air Brake Systems." A missing quick release valve cannot ensure correct rear brake release timing, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says potentially 15 vehicles are affected by the recall. 
  • Thor Motor Coach is recalling 2021-2022 Magnitude and Omni motorhomes. The LP gas line may have been incorrectly routed through the rear suspension leaf springs, which could damage the line and cause a gas leak. A gas leak increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 774 vehicles are affected by the recall.    
  • Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2022 Scope and Rize motorhomes. The LP gas line may be too short and improperly installed, creating an excessive bend in the line which could rupture and leak. A gas leak increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 162 vehicles are affected by the recall.    
  • Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2021-2022 Venetian motorhomes. The patio awning may have been improperly installed, allowing it to separate. An awning that separates while the vehicle is in motion can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 54 vehicles are affected by the recall.    
  • Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain 2018-2022 Wayfarer vehicles. The rear-center holding tank water pan bolts may pull through the lip of the pan, allowing the tank to drop down onto the exhaust pipe. The tank falling onto the exhaust can affect vehicle stability, and increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 2,461 vehicles are affected by the recall.
