The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing is recalling certain 2024 trailers with defective Goodride ST 200 tires. Please see the recall report for a complete list of trailer models. The sidewall of the tires may experience bubbling and separate, causing a loss of tire pressure. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires-Other Than Passenger Cars." A loss of tire pressure increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 5,746 units are affected by the recall.
- Corp. Micro Bird is recalling certain 2006-2008 G5, 2010-2012 G5, 2014-2015 G5, and 2020-2021 G5 school buses equipped with transversal wheelchair track anchorages. The wheelchair track anchorages may not sufficiently secure a wheelchair and detach during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection." Wheelchair track anchorages that detach may not adequately restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash. NHTSA says potentially 22 units are affected by the recall.
- Lode-King Industries, Ltd. is recalling certain 2021-2024 Prestige AHV42-2 semi-trailers equipped with a lockable 2-speed gearbox. An open and unlocked chute door may fall off while the trailer is in transit. A detached door can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 66 units are affected by the recall.
- Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2023-2024 GR, AN, LR, and Terrapro vehicles. The engine may not return to idle within 2 seconds if the accelerator pedal position sensor becomes disconnected. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems." An engine that does not return to idle quickly enough can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 851 units are affected by the recall.
- Pratt Intermodal Chassis is recalling certain 2022-2023 GN30402-EC-6P container chassis trailers. When the chassis is in the 20-ft., configuration, the mid-beam of the chassis may bend or crack when fully loaded or when the 20-ft., container is overloaded. A cracked or bent mid-beam can result in load separation or complete failure of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says potentially 320 units are affected by the recall.
- Rivian Automotive is recalling certain 2022-2023 R1T and R1S vehicles. A software update may have deactivated the defroster and defogger system controls. The inability to operate the windshield defrosting and defogging system can decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 1,463 units are affected by the recall.
- Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2023-2024 VN vehicles. The engine may not return to idle within 2 seconds if the accelerator pedal position sensor becomes disconnected. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems." An engine that does not return to idle quickly enough can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 1,009 units are affected by the recall.
- Xos is recalling certain 2021-2022 SV05 vehicles. The electronic parking brake may malfunction or fail to engage without warning to the driver. Electronic parking brake failure may result in a vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 97 units are affected by the recall.
