The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Chrysler is recalling certain 2021-2022 Ram 3500, 2500 pickup trucks, and Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 cab chassis vehicles equipped with Cummins 6.7-liter turbo diesel engines. An electrical short in the relay may cause a vehicle fire with the ignition on or off. A vehicle fire increases the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 131,177 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles. A cable duct may drop out of place due to unlatched engagement hooks inside the battery case. This may cause the starter-generator wiring harness to chafe against the transmission carrier, which could result in an electrical short-circuit. An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 38 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022 Super Duty F-250, F-350, 2021 F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles. The front-door side impact pressure sensor modules may have been damaged during supplier assembly, which can cause the side impact air bags to not deploy properly in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, "Side Impact Protection." An air bag that does not deploy properly during a crash increases the risk of injury. A vehicle fire increases the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 777 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- HME Inc., is recalling certain 2017-2020 Ahrens-Fox model 34 Type 3, Rescue, Pumper, Tanker, Aerial, CommFox, WolfSA Tanker, 1871-SFO, 1871-W, 1871-Spectr, and AF1 fire trucks. The sealing washer may not seat correctly in the pilot boreholes, 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 245 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2022 VNL vehicles. The electronic control unit software may allow the transmission to shift into neutral unexpectedly. An unexpected shift to neutral can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 162 vehicles are affected by the recall.
- Workhorse Group is recalling certain 2020-2021 C1000M, C1000S and 2020 C650 vehicles. These vehicles fail to comply with multiple FMVSS, including numbers 101, "Control and Displays," 104, "Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems," 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment," and 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other Than Passenger Cars." Vehicles that do not meet all safety standards have an increased risk of injury, crash, or fire. NHTSA says potentially 41 vehicles are affected by the recall.
