The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

  • Blue Bird Bus Company is recalling certain 2026-2027 Vision and All American school buses. The windows may have illegible DOT markings. As such these windows fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 205, "Glazing Materials." A missing DOT code mark may result in the window being replaced with an incorrect type of glass, increasing the risk of a injury. NHTSA says 432 units are potentially affected by the recall.
  • Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2025 F-59 and F-53 vehicles. The exterior brake lights may illuminate unexpectedly or fail to illuminate when the brake pedal is activated, due to an incorrectly installed switch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Brake lights that do not illuminate properly while driving increase the risk of a crash. In addition, the vehicle may be shifted out of park without the brake pedal applied, increasing the risk of a rollaway and crash. NHTSA says 231 units are potentially affected by the recall.
  • Forest River is recalling certain 2026 Cascade, Cherokee, and Campsite Reserve recreational trailers. The 7-way connector may have been incorrectly wired to a breaker without over-current protection. Without over-current protection, a short circuit can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says 247 units are potentially affected by the recall.

As such these vehicle fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS No. 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength." Separated body panels can reduce structural integrity, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. NHTSA says 213 units are potentially affected by the recall.
