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

  • Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2024-2026 Medium-Duty Electric (MDe) vehicles that were incorrectly manufactured with the hill start assist (HSA) message enabled. A false hill start assist message can lead to unexpected vehicle rollback on an incline, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 151 units are potentially affected by the recall.
  • Forest River is recalling certain 2022-2027 Cedar Creek, 2023-2027 FR3, 2023-2026 Palomino, 2024 Cardinal, Wildcat, Shasta Oasis, 2024-2026 Forest River Hardside, Palomino Real-Lite Camper, 2026 Puma Tracks, and Puma recreational vehicles and trailers, equipped with certain power seating assemblies. The power cord fuse may not provide adequate circuit protection. In the event of a short circuit, inadequate protection increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says 6,275 units are potentially affected by the recall.
