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

  • E-One Incorporated is recalling certain 2019-2021 Cyclone 2, 2020 Commercial, Quest 2, 2020-2021 Typhoon, 2021 Cyclone N, and 2020-2022 Typhoon N fire trucks. The neutral screw connection within the QO Plug-On Neutral Load Center may be loose. If that connection is loose, the affected load center can overheat. An overheated load center can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 78 units are affected by the recall.
  • Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2021-2022 F-150 vehicles. Underbody heat and noise insulators may loosen and contact the aluminum driveshaft, which could damage the driveshaft and cause it to fracture. A fractured driveshaft can cause a loss of drive power, or a loss of vehicle control if the driveshaft contacts the ground. Additionally, unintended movement could occur while parked if the parking brake is not engaged. Any of these scenarios increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 58,203 units are affected by the recall.
  • Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022 Transit vehicles equipped with a rearview camera. These vehicles may have a missing audio control module (ACM), resulting in no rearview camera image while in reverse gear. A missing rearview camera image reduces the driver's visibility of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 46 units are affected by the recall.
  • Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2022 Dutchmen Aspen Trail, Coleman, Colorado, Voltage, Yukon, Keystone Carbon, Cougar, Hideout, Montana, Outback, Passport, Raptor, Retreat, Springdale, Sprinter and 2022-2023 Keystone Bullet travel trailers. The electric retractable awning has a welded seam on the fabric that may separate, potentially allowing the awning to drop beyond normal operation. An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 20,220 units are affected by the recall.
  • Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2023 MD6/7 trucks. The engine control module (ECM) may experience an internal short-circuit, which can result in an unexpected engine shut down. An unexpected engine shut down can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 150 units are affected by the recall.
  • Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2022 Mountain Aire, Dutch Star, Ventana, 2021-2023 Bay Star, Canyon Star, and 2022-2023 Kountry Star, and Bay Star Sport motorhomes. The service valves on the LPG tanks may be improperly connected, which can cause a propane leak. A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 617 units are affected by the recall.
  • Newmar Corporation is recalling certain 2022 Super Star, Ventana, 2022-2023 New Aire, Essex, Dutch Star, and Mountain Aire motorhomes equipped with International Thermal Research powered heaters. These heaters could have an incorrect fuel line installed that may leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 92 units are affected by the recall.
  • Paccar is recalling certain 2022-2023 Kenworth T680 tractor trailers. The mud flap may contact the fuel tank while the vehicle is in motion, creating wear on the fuel tank over time. Excessive wear of the fuel tank may allow fuel to spill on the roadway, which can increase the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says potentially 586 units are affected by the recall.
  • Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2022-2023 Four Winds, Quantum, Chateau, and 2022 Geneva motorhomes. The electric retractable awning has a welded seam on the fabric that may separate, potentially allowing the awning to drop beyond normal operation. An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 262 units are affected by the recall.
