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

  • Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022-2023 E-350, E-450, and 2021-2022 F-59 vehicles. The paint along the weld seam of the fuel tank may peel and lead to corrosion of the exposed metal, 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 11,074 units are affected by the recall.
  • Hyundai Translead is recalling certain 2020-2021 Dry Van Trailers and Reefer Trailers. The retaining clip in the brake pad retaining assembly may be loose or could detach, loosening the brake pad. A retaining clip or bracket that detaches can damage the brake pad, reducing brake performance, damage a tire valve, causing a flat tire, or become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 39 units are affected by the recall.
  • Lightning eMotors is recalling certain 2021-2022 FE4-129 vehicles equipped with Romeo Power battery packs. The high voltage battery may lose traction power while driving or fail to start. A sudden loss of traction power while driving increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 27 units are affected by the recall.
  • Paccar is recalling certain 2015-2023 Peterbilt 320 and 520 refuse trucks equipped with Haulmaax/EX suspensions. The suspension tracking rod brackets may fail and detach from the forward drive axle, causing the axle to become unstable. An unstable axle can decrease vehicle stability and control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 15,658 units are affected by the recall.
