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

  • Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2021-2022 F-150, 2022 Maverick, Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 vehicles. Due to a software error, a towed trailer equipped with an electric or electric-over hydraulic brake system may not brake. Loss of trailer brake functionality could result in extended stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 391,836 units are affected by the recall. 
  • Forest River is recalling certain 2022 Palomino Puma and Puma XLE fifth wheel and travel trailer recreational vehicles. The exterior micro kitchen griddle may be stowed while still connected to propane. A stowed griddle connected to propane increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 1,561 units are affected by the recall. 
  • Forest River is recalling certain 2022 Surveyor travel trailers. The fresh air intake tube length may be too short, allowing it to detach and causing the burn chamber to crack. A cracked burn chamber can expose the trailer to carbon monoxide, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 74 units are affected by the recall. 
  • Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2022 Bullet, Outback, and Passport travel trailers. The coupler hitch may have been welded improperly, which can cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle. Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says potentially 1,155 units are affected by the recall. 
  • Prevost Car is recalling certain 2021-2022 X3-45 Com coach buses. A nut located on the rear junction box may have been improperly tightened, causing a cable to loosen. A loose junction box cable may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 140 units are affected by the recall.
