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

  • Bowlus Road Chief LLC is recalling certain 2021-2022 Terra Firma and Endless Highways Performance Edition trailers. 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 fire. NHTSA says potentially 2 units are affected by the recall.
  • Bwise Manufacturing is recalling certain certain 2021-2023 EA10-10 and EA10-12 All Access trailers. The GAWR of the trailer was incorrectly labeled at 4,995 lb. and should be labeled 6,000lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part number 567, “Certification.” An incorrect label may lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 76 units are affected by the recall.
  • Daimler Trucks North America LLC is recalling certain 2011-2021 Thomas Built Saf-T Liner HDX school buses. The forward seat barriers may not provide sufficient protection to passengers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 222, “School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection.” Occupants may collide with the front seat barriers with more force than intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 7,601 units are affected by the recall.
  • Paccar Incorporated is recalling certain 2022 Kenworth K270 and 2021 Peterbilt 220 vehicles. Software programing may prevent the electric power train control unit from processing stability control commands while in regenerative braking mode. Failure to process stability control commands may increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 4 units are affected by the recall.
  • Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 2022 M2-106, M2-112, and F550 fire trucks equipped with Weldon V-mux Hercules HC Node 1.5 electrical multiplex modules. An additional resistor was incorrectly installed on the printed circuit board, which can disrupt CAN network communication and cause vehicle lighting to fail. Inoperative vehicle lighting can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 8 units are affected by the recall.
  • Rosenbauer America (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2022 Commander and 2023 Commercial M2-106 fire trucks. The engine control module (ECM) may experience an internal short-circuit, which can result in an unexpected engine shut down without the ability to restart the vehicle. An unexpected engine shutdown can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 11 units are affected by the recall.
  • Seagrave Fire Apparatus, LLC (Seagrave) is recalling certain 2022 Marauder fire trucks. The steering gears may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause the gears to fracture. A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 5 units are affected by the recall.
