The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Freightliner eCascadia vehicles. The e-axle planetary gear set may not be welded properly, which can cause the e-motor to detach from the final drive, resulting in an undetectable and sudden loss of drive power without the ability to restart the vehicle. An undetectable and sudden loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 82 units are affected by the recall.
- Jayco is recalling certain 2021-2022 Entegra Coach Accolade, Accolade XL, Jayco Seneca, and Seneca Prestige recreational vehicles. The windshield wipers may fail, resulting in reduced driver visibility. Reduced driver visibility increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 1,205 units are affected by the recall.
- Prevost Car is recalling certain 2023-2024 H3-45 and 2022-2024 H3-45 VIP vehicles. The right front turn signal light may fail when the turn signal or hazard warning lights are activated. 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." An inoperative front turn signal may not notify other drivers of a turning vehicle, while inoperative hazard warning lights reduce the vehicle visibility to other drivers, both increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 93 units are affected by the recall.
- Prevost Car is recalling certain 2021 and 2023 X3-45 Commuter buses. The bolt securing the passenger seat recline mechanism may loosen and disengage, resulting in an unsecured seat back. An unsecured seat back and integrated seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 50 units are affected by the recall.
