The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Autocar is recalling certain 2022-2023 ACTT Xspotter vehicles. The fuel tank mounting straps may not be properly secured. An improperly secured fuel tank can separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 2,671 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2023-2024 Freightliner eCascadia vehicles. The service brake system may incorrectly calculate the vehicle mass, which can impair the electronic stability control system performance. 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." An impaired electronic stability control program may have a delayed response or insufficient braking force when activated, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 332 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2021-2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris, Sprinter, and 2021 Freightliner Sprinter vehicles. The fuel pump may shutdown, which can result in a loss of drive power.

Hot components from the clutch assembly may fall onto nearby flammable materials, such as leaves or other debris, increasing the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 243 units are affected by the recall.
- Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2022-2024 Tranquility and 2022-2023 Sanctuary motorhomes. The R-bike rack arms may fracture and detach. A bike rack that detaches from the vehicle increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 213 units are affected by the recall.
