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

  • Forest River Bus is recalling certain 2021-2022 Starcraft Allstar XL, 2022-2023 Allstar XLT, and 2022 Glaval Concorde II transit buses. The exterior-mounted air conditioning compressor may contact the optional stabilizer/sway bar, possibly causing mount failure and resulting in a loss of power or steering control. A loss of power and/or steering control increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 31 units are affected by the recall.
  • Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2024 Granite and TerraPro vehicles. The rear lifting bracket that attaches to the engine cylinder head may be insufficiently secured, which can allow it to detach. A rear lifting bracket that detaches while the engine is being lifted can result in the engine falling or swinging, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 17 units are affected by the recall.
  • Nova Bus is recalling certain 2015-2019 LFS and LFS Artic transit buses. The attachment hardware may have been incorrectly installed beneath the rear wheel well passenger seats, allowing the seat to detach from the frame. A detached passenger seat may inadequately restrain a passenger during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 514 units are affected by the recall.
  • Paccar is recalling certain 2020 Kenworth T660, 2018-2024 Kenworth T800 and W900 vehicles. An additional spacer may have been added to the joint that connects the seat to the seat belt tether and buckle, causing an unsecured connection. An unsecured seat belt connection may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 3,841 units are affected by the recall.
  • Winnebago Industries s recalling certain 2024 Solis motorhomes. The fasteners that secure the sliding seat in the extended position are missing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems." Missing fasteners may allow the seat to move during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 280 units are affected by the recall.
