The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Chrysler is recalling certain 2016-2019 Ram 3500, Ram 1500, 2016-2020 Ram 2500, and 2016 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis vehicles. The right and left side curtain air bag inflators may rupture due to a manufacturing defect. An inflator rupture may result in sharp metal fragments striking occupants, resulting in injury. NHTSA says 6,066 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Forest River is recalling certain 2025 East to West Ahara fifth wheel trailers. The water heater exhaust is ventilated directly under the slideroom, allowing carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle. Carbon monoxide inside the vehicle increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and death. NHTSA says 18 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Forest River Bus is recalling certain 2023-2024 Starcraft Starlite and 2023 Allstar transit buses. The emergency exit handles and labels are not easily accessible which can prevent or delay the exit of passengers in the event of an emergency. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release." In the event of a crash or fire, passengers may not be able to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA says 37 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Mack Trucks recalling certain 2024-2025 Pinnacle (PI/PN) trucks. 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 21 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Paccar is recalling certain 2023-2024 Peterbilt 535, 536, 537, 548, 2023-2024 Kenworth T280, T380, T480, and 2024 Kenworth T180 trucks. The throttle pedal assembly may contain an oversized magnet carrier, slowing the responsiveness or causing the pedal to stick. A pedal that sticks increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 1,110 units are potentially affected by the recall.
