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

  • Jayco is recalling certain 2020-2021 Entegra Launch, Qwest, Jayco Melbourne, and Melbourne Prestige motorhomes. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) blower motor circuit may be inadequate, which can allow the wiring harness to overheat. A wiring harness that overheats increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 659 units are affected by the recall.
  • Nova Bus is recalling certain 2019-2023 LFS transit buses. The transmission yoke may separate, resulting in driveshaft separation and a sudden loss of drive power. A sudden loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers. NHTSA says potentially 334 units are affected by the recall.
  • Nova Bus is recalling certain 2022-2023 LFS transit buses. During the hose manufacturing, the power steering hose may not have been assembled correctly, which can result in hose fitting detachment and a loss of power steering assist. Sudden loss of power steering assist can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 196 units are affected by the recall.
  • ST Engineering Hackney is recalling certain 2022 Kidron refrigerated trailers equipped with Tire Pilot Plus tire pressure regulation systems (TPRS). All eight tires may experience a loss of tire pressure while driving faster than 45 mph. Tire pressure loss while driving can cause a loss of stability and control or tire tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 59 units are affected by the recall.
