The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2022-2023 Vision school buses equipped with a 7.3L gasoline engine. The transmission cable may not have sufficient clearance from the gasoline fuel supply line at the left rear corner of the engine, which can result in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 2,559 units are affected by the recall.
- Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2013-2021 Vision school buses equipped with Ford 6.8L LPG engines. The LPG supply line may be damaged from contact with the RH park brake cable, which can result in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 66 units are affected by the recall.
- Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2022-2023 Vision transit buses equipped with a 7.3L gasoline engine. The transmission shift cable may have insufficient clearance from the gasoline fuel supply line at the left rear corner of the engine, which can result in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 25 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2011-2023 Thomas Built EFX and HDX school buses. The exterior roof panel was manufactured with insufficient joint strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength." A school bus exterior roof panel with insufficient joint strength may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 17,613 units are affected by the recall.
- Forest River is recalling certain 2023 Prime Time Avenger AVT32BHS travel trailers. The supporting brackets for the rear bunkroom flip-up bunks may not be installed properly, which can cause the bunk to fail. A bunk that fails may cause the occupant to fall, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 25 units are affected by the recall.
- Jayco is recalling certain 2023 Seismic and Seismic Luxury trailers. Fuel cap does not fit properly on the filler fuel neck for the cargo fuel tank. An improperly fitted fuel cap may leak fuel or vapors, increasing the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 42 units are affected by the recall.
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2022 Utilimaster Walk-In vans. The transmission shifter cable may contact the exhaust manifold, causing the outer coating to melt and damaging the cable. A melted outer coating may increase the risk of a fire. A damaged cable may prevent the transmission from shifting, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 451 units are affected by the recall.
