The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Lode-King Industries, Ltd (Lode-King) is recalling certain 2019-2026 SDG53-3, SDF53-3, and SDF50-3 trailers. The rear impact guard may be missing welds, reducing the guard's structural strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 223, "Rear Impact Guards." A guard with inadequate strength may not sufficiently protect a following vehicle, increasing the risk of injury during a rear end crash. NHTSA says 114 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2025-2027 Pioneer (4) and 2026-2027 Anthem (4) vehicles. The rear brake modulators may have unprotected electrical connectors that can short circuit and lead to a loss of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC). A loss of anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control increases the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says 2,337 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2022 Utilimaster Aeromaster vehicles. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the certification label may be incorrect. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification." Referencing the incorrect GVWR may lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 21 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Tesla is recalling certain 2024-2026 Cybertruck vehicles equipped with 18-in., steel wheels. The brake rotor stud holes may crack and allow the stud to separate from the wheel hub. Wheel stud separation can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 173 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2026-2027 VNR (4) and 2025-2027 VNL (4) vehicles. The rear brake modulators may have unprotected electrical connectors that can short circuit and lead to a loss of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC). A loss of anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control increases the risk of a crash or injury. NHTSA says 2,800 units are potentially affected by the recall.
