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

  • Dennis Eagle is recalling certain 2020-2021 Proview vehicles. The front turn signal indicator lights may not flash brightly enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Dim turn signal indicator lights may reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 140 units are affected by the recall.
  • Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2021 F-150 vehicles. The windshield wiper arms may break, causing the windshield wipers to fail. Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce visibility in certain conditions, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 222,454 units are affected by the recall.
  • Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2023 Granite (GR) vehicles. The front-drive steer axle fasteners may not have been tightened sufficiently and could come loose, resulting in a complete separation of the axle assembly joints. Steer axle assembly separation can result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 17 units are affected by the recall.
  • Navistar is recalling certain 2023 International HV and 2023-2024 International MV vehicles. The assembly bolts used to attach the battery box to the mounting bracket may be loose or missing. Loose or missing bolts can allow the battery box to detach from the vehicle and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 791 units are affected by the recall.
  • Navistar is recalling certain 2023 International HV and 2023-2024 International MV vehicles. The rear axle spring wedge shim may have been incorrectly installed, which can cause U-joint failure and result in driveshaft separation. Driveshaft separation can cause a loss of drive power and increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 660 units are affected by the recall.
  • Spartan Fire is recalling certain 2022-2024 Gladiator, Metro Star, FC-94 and KME Panther firetrucks. After the vehicle is reversed, the transmission control module (TCM) may fail to achieve the 4th gear lockup needed to initiate the water pump. A firetruck that is unable to pump water increases the risk of injury during a fire. NHTSA says potentially 166 units are affected by the recall.
