The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023 Western Star 57X vehicles. The interior turn signals may flash too quickly and not align with the exterior turn signal flashing. Interior turn signals that consistently flash too quickly may not change their flash rate to alert the driver to replace the bulbs. An exterior turn signal bulb that is burnt out will not illuminate. 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." A nonfunctioning exterior turn signal may not notify other drivers of a turning vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 47 units are affected by the recall.
- Dennis Eagle is recalling certain 2020-2023 ProView vehicles. The driver's seat belt is too short and difficult to buckle, especially when the driver is wearing gloves. A seat belt that is difficult to engage or disengage may not be used, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Also, it may delay the driver from exiting quickly during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2023 Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 vehicles. The steering column upper shaft bolts may be missing or improperly tightened, resulting in possible separation of the steering column from the adjoining components. A disconnected steering column can result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 19 units are affected by the recall.
- Navistar is recalling certain 2001-2003 International 9100i, 2004-2009 International 9200i, 2009, 2011-2012, 2017 International ProStar, and 2021 International RH vehicles. The back-up lights offer low visibility when the vehicle is in reverse and bobtail mode. Also, the vehicles have not been equipped with additional unobstructed back-up lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Low visibility or obstructed back up lights may not alert other drivers that the vehicle is backing up, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 4,030 units are affected by the recall.
- Nova Bus is recalling certain 2012-2022 LFS vehicles. The driver's seat belt may not retract properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." A seat belt that does not retract properly may result in a loose seat belt, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash. NHTSA says potentially 166 units are affected by the recall.
- Terminal Investment Corporation is recalling certain 2022-2023 Tico Spotter B 6.7 trucks equipped with certain Sheppard Steering Gears. The steering gear may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause the gear to fracture. A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 570 units are affected by the recall.
