The units mounted on certain Ford E350 van chassis with Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 4050 and 4200 lb., may fail at high loads due to a defect in the front axle. Overload of the front axle capacity could cause it to fail and instability, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says 82 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- General Motors is recalling certain 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV work trucks. The pedestrian alert sound system may not produce sound at a sufficient volume. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles." A vehicle that fails to make sufficient sound may result in pedestrians being unaware of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says 46 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2020-2022 F-Super Duty F250, F350, F450, F550, F600, and 2021-2022 F-650, F750 vehicles. Biodiesel deposits may form on the pump drivetrain roller components, which could lead to failure of the high pressure fuel pump. High pressure Fuel pump failure can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 295,449 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Gillig is recalling certain 2023-2024 Low Floor style transit buses. The high voltage electric air compressor may not be connected to the High Voltage Interlock Loop (HVIL). Therefore, the HVIL cannot detect a loose or disconnected compressor power cable. Failure to alert the operator to a power cable issue can increase the risk of injury by electrical shock. NHTSA says 332 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Orange EV is recalling certain 2023-2024 HUSK-e, 2023-2025 e-TRIEVER, and 2017-2024 T-Series trucks.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Missing or incorrectly positioned lights and reflectors can reduce the trailers visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 1,276 units are potentially affected by the recall.

The frame extenders obstruct the rear turn signals, reverse, brake, and taillights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Obstructed rear lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to pedestrians or other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 86 units are potentially affected by the recall.
