The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Chrysler is recalling certain 2025-2026 Ram 1500 Pickup, Ram 2500 Pickup, Ram 3500 Pickup, Ram 3500 Cab Chassis, Ram 4500 Cab Chassis, and Ram 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles. A software error may cause the instrument panel display to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) numbers 102, "Transmission Shift Position Sequence," 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems," 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment," 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems for Light Vehicles," 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems," 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System," and/or 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." An instrument panel display that fails to show critical safety information, such as gear selection and warning lights, increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 65,348 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Chrysler is recalling certain 2026 Ram 2500 Pickup trucks. The trucks may be equipped with steering column control modules that can cause a loss of electronic stability control. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems." A loss of electronic stability control increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 6,605 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain Thomas Built Buses 2024-2027 Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses. The vehicle's software may misinterpret contact if the door switch is bumped, deactivating the amber and red warning lights and the stop sign arm. Warning lights and a stop sign arm that fail to activate will not warn other drivers the school bus is slowing down, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says 3,285 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2015-2017 F-150 vehicles. A loss of signal between the transmission range sensor and the powertrain control module can cause the transmission to unexpectedly downshift into second gear. Unexpectedly downshifting into second gear may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 1,392,935 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- International Motors is recalling certain 2022-2027 IC Bus EVSB school buses. The high voltage disconnect switch may fail to shut off power to the battery. Switch failure may lead to unintentionally working on an energized high voltage battery, increasing the risk of injury or death by electrical shock. NHTSA says 1,896 units are potentially affected by the recall.
