The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Chrysler is recalling certain 2021 Ram 1500 pickup trucks. The Trailer Reverse Steering Control Module (TRSCM) may prevent the rearview image from displaying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility." A rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 38,157 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2011-2022 Freightliner SD 108, Freightliner SD 114, 2016 Freightliner Coronado, 2011-2022 Western Star 4900, Western Star 6900, 2013-2022 Western Star 4700 and 2022 49X vehicles. The tires and rims are not approved and rated for these vehicles from the Tire and Rim Association or tire manufacturer. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number (FMVSS) 120, “Wheels and Rims-Other Than Passenger Cars.” Unapproved tires that are not rated for the vehicle can cause tire performance issues, increasing the risk of crash. NHTSA says potentially 413 units are affected by the recall.
- DTNA is recalling one 2020 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner HDX transit bus. The chassis was assembled without the electronic stability control hardware and software. As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of FMMVSS 136, “Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles.” In certain driving situations, a missing electronic stability control system can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 1 unit is affected by the recall.
- DTNA is recalling one 2021 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner HDX transit bus. The gross axle weight rating (GAWR) may be improperly stated on the label. As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of FMVSS 136, “Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles.” NHTSA says potentially 1 unit is affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022 Super Duty F-250 and F-350 vehicles. The strength of the driver-side air bag cover may be insufficient. During a crash, the air bag may break apart and project fragments towards occupants, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 5 units are affected by the recall.
