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

  • E-One Incorporated is recalling certain 2022 Cyclone 2, Cyclone N, and Typhoon N vehicles. The transmission cooler may be insufficiently welded, which can result in engine coolant contaminating the transmission fluid. Contaminated transmission fluid may cause transmission failure and a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 17 units are affected by the recall.
  • Hino Motors Sales USA is recalling certain 2022-2023 NE7A, NE7B, NJ7A, NJ7B, NV7A, and NV7B vehicles. The driver-side U-bolts that secure the front axle to the leaf spring assembly may come loose and detach. Loose or detached U-bolts can result in a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 1,865 units are affected by the recall.
  • Hino Motors Sales USA is recalling certain 2023 NE7A, NJ7A, and NV7A vehicles. The front axle U-bolts that secure the front leaf spring assembly may be over-tightened, which can cause the U-bolts to break and detach. Broken U-bolts can result in a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 64 units are affected by the recall.
  • Lion Electric Company is recalling certain 2019-2025 LionC hybrid electric school buses. The surge tank may move and crack the firewall, allowing the tank to contact and damage the high-voltage cables. Damaged high-voltage cables can shut down the high-voltage circuit, causing a loss of steering assistance or drive power and reducing braking power, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 141 units are affected by the recall.
  • Lion Electric Company is recalling certain 2021-2025 Lion6 and Lion8 vehicles. Loose hardware inside the high-voltage distribution unit (HVDU) or direct current junction box (DCJB) enclosures may contact electrical terminals, causing a short circuit. A short circuit can shut down the high-voltage circuit, causing a loss of steering assistance or drive power and reducing braking power, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 170 units are affected by the recall.
  • Lion Electrical Company is recalling certain 2021-2025 LionC school buses. Loose hardware inside the high-voltage distribution unit (HVDU) or direct current junction box (DCJB) enclosures may contact electrical terminals, causing a short circuit. A short circuit can shut down the high-voltage circuit, causing a loss of steering assistance or drive power and reducing braking power, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 65 units are affected by the recall.
  • Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2023-2024 LR garbage trucks. The wiper arm retention nuts may be loose, stripping, and causing the windshield wipers to fail. Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 204 units are affected by the recall.
  • Stoughton Trailers is recalling certain 2024 CCGN-40T trailers. The brake hose may be the incorrect length and have inadequate or missing air tank fasteners, which can result in brake hose failure. Brake hose failure can cause a loss of braking ability and increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 55 units are affected by the recall.
