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

  • Cummins is recalling certain 2019-2021 Power Generation C70D2RE and C100D2RE trailer-mounted generator sets. Certain Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) may have been manufactured improperly, which can result in inadequate circuit protection. Inadequate circuit protection can increase the risk of personal injury or fire. NHTSA says potentially 847 units are affected by the recall.
  • Forest River is recalling certain 2021-2022 Impression Fifth Wheel Recreational Vehicles. The center identification light on the rear of the vehicle was incorrectly installed at a higher position than the other lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Incorrectly installed rear lights may reduce visibility of the vehicle for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 957 vehicles are affected by the recall.
  • Jayco is recalling certain 2021 Jay Flight Octane travel trailers. The water heater was installed in the incorrect location, which could result in exhaust fumes entering the slide-out area of the trailer. NHTSA says potentially 127 vehicles are affected by the recall.
  • Jayco is recalling certain 2021-2022 Jayco Swift and Entegra Ethos motorhomes. The seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash. NHTSA says potentially 45 vehicles are affected by the recall.
  • Spartan Fire is recalling certain 2021-2022 Gladiator, MetroStar, and MetroStar-RT vehicles. The rear axle drive pinion may fracture. A fractured drive pinion may contact the brake drop hose, and unintentionally engage the parking brake or activate the brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 57 vehicles are affected by the recall.
  • Timpte is recalling certain 2022 Bulk Commodity Hopper trailers. The screws that secure the bracket cover and end cover of the iABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been improperly tightened, which can allow the screws to loosen and back out, resulting in a loss of pressure in the unit. Pressure loss in the iABS unit can cause a loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 67 vehicles are affected by the recall.
