The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Autocar is recalling certain 2022-2023 ACX (Xpeditor) and 2020-2023 DC (Legend) vehicles. The powertrain driveline center support bearing hardware may not have been properly secured. An improperly secured powertrain driveline can detach from the vehicle and cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 909 units are affected by the recall.
- Autocar is recalling certain 2020-2022 ACX (Xpeditor) vehicles. The external fuse box may short circuit due to water intrusion. A fuse box that short circuits can cause an unexpected vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 55 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles. The hazard warning lights may flash improperly during an Advanced Braking Assist event. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number (FMVSS) 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Hazard warning lights that flash improperly may cause confusion for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 24,282 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2019-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles. The instrument cluster may fail to display any information when the vehicle is started. A blank instrument panel will not show critical information, such as vehicle speed, fuel gauge, warning messages, and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 6,857 units are affected by the recall.
- Spartan Fire is recalling certain 2020, 2022 and 2023 Gladiator and 2023 MetroStar vehicles. The front-drive steer axle fasteners may loosen, 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 12 units are affected by the recall.
- Tesla is recalling certain 2023 Semi trucks. The electronic parking brake valve module (PVM) may fail to move into the park position when the parking brake is activated. A parking brake that is not engaged as expected when the driver releases the brakes may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of crash. NHTSA says potentially 35 units are affected by the recall.
