The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Chrysler is recalling certain 2022-2023 Ram Promaster vehicles. The driver seat belt warning light and audible chime may not activate as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." A malfunctioning seat belt warning system can result in improper seat belt use, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. NHTSA says potentially 27,744 units are affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2023-2024 F-650 and F-750 vehicles. The parking brake may malfunction and allow the lever to be released without pressing the release button. A parking brake that is released unexpectedly may result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says potentially 18,244 units are affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2023 F-150 Lightning vehicles. The fasteners that secure the junction box bus bars inside the high-voltage battery pack may not have been tightened securely, which can cause electrical arcing at the busbars. Electrical arcing increases the risk of a fire. In addition, a loss of drive power may occur, which can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 216 units are affected by the recall.
- Halcore Group is recalling certain 2023 Horton emergency vehicles built on Ford F450, F550, and F600 chassis. The left rear steel brake line can contact the strut mount when the rear suspension is lowered, damaging the brake line. A damaged line can leak brake fluid, causing a loss of brakes and increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 34 units are affected by the recall.
- Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2022-2024 Granite vehicles. The air tanks have an insufficient volume of air for the brake system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 121, "Air Brake Systems." Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 10 units are affected by the recall.
- Paccar is recalling certain 2009-2021 Kenworth C500, 2014-2016 Kenworth T440, 2009-2015 Kenworth T660, 2015-2024 Kenworth T680, 2009-2024 Kenworth T800, 2013-2023 Kenworth T880, and 2009-2019 Kenworth W900 vehicles. The air tanks have an insufficient volume of air for the brake system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 121, "Air Brake Systems." Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 697 units are affected by the recall.
