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

  • Capacity of Texas is recalling certain 2022 TJ Series (5000, 6500, and 9000) vehicles. The passenger side jump seat may be missing a safety clip that prevents the pivot rod from sliding. The jump seat may fall without the safety clip, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 39 units are affected by the recall.
  • Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain short wheelbase 2020-2024 Freightliner Cascadia, Freightliner M2 Business Class, 2022 Western Star 4700, and 2020 Freightliner Classic Cascadia vehicles. The vehicle is equipped with an electronic stability control system and tire combination that may understeer during a J-turn. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 136, "Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles." Understeering during a J-turn may increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 3,452 units are affected by the recall.
  • Forest River is recalling certain 2023 East to West Della Terra & Silver Lake travel trailers. The Federal Placard may have been printed with incorrect dry weight and cargo carrying capacity. Incorrect cargo carrying capacity information can result in the vehicle being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 64 units are affected by the recall.
  • Jayco is recalling certain 2023-2024 Entegra Emblem, Vision, Vision XL, Jayco Alante, Precept, and Precept Prestige motorhomes, built on Ford F-53 chassis. The rear brake caliper attachment bolts may not be tightened correctly, which can allow the caliper to loosen and possibly damage the wheel or brake lines. A damaged wheel can result in a loss of tire pressure. A damaged brake line can cause a brake fluid leak and reduce brake performance. Either condition increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 63 units are affected by the recall.
  • Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain 2020-2023 Breeze motorhomes. The condensation pan under the refrigerator may overflow and leak into the Molex electrical connections on the floor. Water in the electrical connections can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 242 units are affected by the recall.
  • Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain 2021-2022 Cahaba motorhomes. The spare tire carrier and molle rack may be incorrectly installed on the rear van doors, which can cause them to detach while the vehicle is in transit. A detached spare tire carrier and molle rack can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 203 units are affected by the recall.
  • Winnebago Towable is recalling certain 2022 Micro Minnie travel trailers. The solar panel mounting hardware may loosen, which can cause the solar panel to detach from the vehicle. A detached solar panel can become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 4,313 units are affected by the recall.
