The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Autocar is recalling certain 2023 ACX (Xpeditor) and ACTT (Xspotter) vehicles. The steering gear assemblies may have been assembled incorrectly with fewer recirculating balls than are required, which may result in a loss of steering control. A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 36 units are affected by the recall.
- Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2021-2024 Vision school buses. Firmware in the multiplex module may cause the warning lights to deactivate and the stop arm to retract without warning. An unintended deactivation of the warning lights and retraction of the stop arm during use increases the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says potentially 5,197 units are affected by the recall.
- Eldorado National-California is recalling certain 2012-2023 XHF and Arrivo vehicles equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift. The red beacon lighting on the threshold warning system (TWS) may not be bright enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 403, "Platform Lift Systems." Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 108 units are affected by the recall.
- Forest River is recalling certain 2023-2024 Salem and Wildwood fifth wheel travel trailers. The Federal Placard may have incorrect tire size information. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other Than Passenger Cars." Incorrect tire size information could result in the wrong tires being installed on the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 107 units are affected by the recall.
- General Motors is recalling certain 2020-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, 3500, GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 vehicles equipped with power-unlatching tailgates. The tailgate's electronic gate-release switch may short circuit due to water intrusion, which can result in the tailgate inadvertently unlatching while the vehicle is in park. An unlatched tailgate may open while driving and result in a loss of unsecured cargo, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 323,232 units are affected by the recall.
- Gulf Stream Coach is recalling certain 2024 Trail Boss 160FK trailers. The incorrect tire size and tire pressure are listed on the federal certification label. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims" and 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification." Incorrect tire information could result in improperly inflated tires or the wrong tires being installed on the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 17 units are affected by the recall.
- Jayco is recalling certain 2020-2023 Entegra Anthem, Aspire, Cornerstone, and Reatta XL motorhomes. The pedestal mounting plate on the driver's seat may be improperly welded, causing the plate to separate and the seat assembly to loosen or detach. As such, these seat assemblies fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 207, "Seating Systems" and number 210, "Seat belt assembly anchorages." A loose or detached seat assembly increases the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 148 units are affected by the recall.
- Jayco is recalling certain 2023 Entegra Expanse, Expanse LI, Jayco Solstice, and Solstice LI motorhomes. The retractable awning may extend unintentionally during transit. An awning extending unintentionally during transit may become a distraction or road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 98 units are affected by the recall.
- Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America is recalling certain 2024 FEC7K and FEC9K vehicles. Due to a control unit counter error, the vehicle may shut down unexpectedly, which can result in a loss of drive power. A loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 175 units are affected by the recall.
- Motor Coach Industries is recalling certain 2014-2018 D4000, 2013-2019 D4005, 2013-2023 D4500, 2013-2020 D4505, and 2021-2024 D45CRTLE coaches equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift. The red beacon lighting on the Threshold Warning System (TWS) may not be bright enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 403, "Platform Lift Systems." Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says potentially 2,114 units are affected by the recall.
- New Flyer of America is recalling certain 2021-2023 XE35, XE40, 2021-2024 XE60, and 2023-2024 XHE40 vehicles. One or more drain valves may not activate as intended, which could allow battery packs to accumulate liquid in the battery pack enclosure. The accumulation of liquid inside the battery pack enclosure may lead to an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 337 units are affected by the recall.
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2023-2025 Spartan RV K2, K3, and K4 chassis. The steering gear may have foreign material inside the gear that could build pressure within the system, resulting in a loss of power steering assist. A sudden loss of power steering assist can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 797 units are affected by the recall.
- Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain 2022-2024 Allegro Bay motorhomes. The standard house batteries may shift position during travel, which can cause the battery terminals to contact the steel hold-down bar. Battery terminals that contact the steel hold-down bar can cause electrical arcing and increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 300 units are affected by the recall.
