The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Felling Trailers is recalling certain 2011-2022 Avtron D40548 trailers. The axle bracket may experience cracking and break, allowing the axle to detach from the trailer. An axle assembly separation can result in a loss of trailer control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 123 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Nova Bus is recalling certain 2019-2024 LFS and 2019-2023 LFS Artic buses. The auxiliary heater module may allow contaminants to enter the electronic controller, which can cause an electrical short. Additionally, the auxiliary heater may fail, causing the defrosting system to not function properly. An electrical short circuit can increase the risk of a fire. Additionally, a windshield defrosting system that does not function properly can decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 208 units are potentially affected by the recall.
