- DTNA is recalling certain 2023-2024 Thomas Built Bus SAF-T-Liner C2 school buses. The driveshafts can break under certain loading conditions. A broken driveshaft can separate and cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 614 units are affected by the recall.
- General Motors is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, 3500, and GMC Sierra 2500, 3500 vehicles. The steering gear shaft may fracture and disconnect from the steering arm. A steering arm that disconnects may result in a total loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 3,893 units are affected by the recall.
- Hino Motors Sales is recalling certain 2020-2024 NE7A, NE7B, NE8A, NH9A, NJ7A, NJ7B, NJ8A, NJ8J, NV7A, NV7B, and NV8A vehicles equipped with 70 or 90 gallon fuel tanks. The fuel sender float may deform and detach, which can lead to an inaccurate fuel gauge reading. An inaccurate fuel gauge may result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 8,025 units are affected by the recall.
- Hino Motors Sales is recalling certain 2022-2023 NE7A, NJ7A, NJ7B and NV7A vehicles, equipped with headlights that are recessed in the hood. The headlight back covers, and anti-adjustment caps may have been improperly installed, which can result in headlight failure, or the headlights being adjusted incorrectly. 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." Headlight failure or incorrectly adjusted headlights can reduce visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 468 units are affected by the recall.
- Nova Bus is recalling certain 2022-2023 LFS battery electric transit buses. The rivnut threaded inserts inside the high-voltage battery may be over-tightened and break, which could result in a short circuit. An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 13 units are affected by the recall.
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2023 Utilimaster Upfit vehicles. The battery cable connections for the electrical harness may be connected incorrectly, causing the circuit protection on the cables to be ineffective. Without circuit protection, a short circuit on the negative cable can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 560 units are affected by the recall.
