The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2023 F-150 Lightning pickup trucks. The electronic cabin coolant heater module may be missing a solder joint, which can cause intermittent or no cabin heat and result in an inoperative windshield defrosting and defogging system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 103, "Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems." An inoperative windshield defrosting and defogging system may decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 931 units are affected by the recall.
- General Motors is recalling certain 2023-2024 Brightdrop Zevo 600 vehicles equipped with an optional passenger jump seat. An incorrect passenger-side upper B-pillar trim panel may have been installed, which can interfere with proper deployment of the right-side roof-rail air bag. An air bag that does not deploy correctly can increase the risk of injury during a crash. NHTSA says potentially 234 units are affected by the recall.
- Hyundai Translead is recalling certain 2022-2024 CGN3-20/40 and CGNS-20/40 12-Pin extended chassis. The cross braces located above the chassis air tanks may have been improperly welded. An improperly welded cross brace can detach from the vehicle, creating a road hazard. A falling cross brace may also damage the air tank airline, causing an unintended brake lock. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 562 units are affected by the recall.
- Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2024 Anthem and Pinnacle vehicles. A software programming error may cause the electronic stability control (ESC) to be inoperative. Driving with an inoperative electronic stability control system can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 13 units are affected by the recall.
- Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2024 VNL, VHD, and VNR trucks. The fastener that connects two steering components, the pitman arm and draglink, may be loose, which can cause the connection to fail and result in a loss of steering control. A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 1,933 units are affected by the recall.
- Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2024 Volvo VNL and VNR trucks. A software programming error may cause the electronic stability control (ESC) to be inoperative. Driving with an inoperative electronic stability control system can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 29 units are affected by the recall.
