12 Corp. Micro Bird, Inc., is recalling certain 2016 G5 school buses, equipped with CE White QS11 Series Convertible School Bus Seats. These seats were manufactured with integral D-Ring mounting studs that may have inadequate padding between the occupant and the D-ring mounting stud. In the event of a rear end collision, the seat occupant's head may contact the D-ring mounting stud, increasing the risk of injury. Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Thomas Built Buses Saf- T-Liner HDX and Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses. A reinforcement bracket may be missing from the seats that have three-point seat belts. Without the reinforcement bracket, the seat may not be adequately secured, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. DTNA is recalling certain 2013-2018 Western Star 4700 trucks. The battery cable may contact the all wheel drive axle yoke. Battery cable contact with the axle yoke may cause the cable to chafe and short, increasing the risk of a fi re. DTNA is recalling certain 2017-2018 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles. The upper steering pinch bolt may not have been properly tightened, possibly causing a loss of mechanical connection between the steering wheel and front wheels. A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash. Daimler Vans USA (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500/3500 vehicles. The affected vehicles were manufac- tured without a driveshaft catch strap, allowing a loose driveshaft to strike the fuel tank. A loose driveshaft may strike and puncture the gas tank, resulting in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fi re. DVUSA is recalling certain model year 2015- 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris vans. These vehicles have electrical power steering control units with improperly welded contact pins. The improperly welded pins may lose contact, deactivating the power steering assist and increasing the risk of a crash. Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2017 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks with manually-adjusted front passenger seats. The seat belt anchor may not be adequately welded to the seat cushion frame. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages," and 207, "Seating Systems." The seat belt buckle weld may fail, preventing the occupants from being properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2015- 2017 Ford F-150, and 2017 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty trucks. The doors on these vehicles may have a bent or kinked actuation cable or the door latches may freeze after water gets into the latch. Either condition can result in the doors opening while driving although they appear to be closed. A door that opens while driving can increase the risk of injury. Forest River, Inc., is recalling certain 2013- 2014 Coachmen Freedom Express recreational trailers. The frames on these vehicles may not have had reinforcement stiffeners welded onto the exterior I-Beam in the axle area, allowing the axles to be misaligned. Misaligned axles can affect vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash. Great Dane Trailers is recalling certain 2018 Everest trailers manufactured with MPA/MTA suspensions equipped with Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on these axles may not be properly torqued which can allow the caliper to detach from the mounting fl ange. If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper de- taches from the mounting fl ange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash. Hino Motor Sales is recalling certain 2011-2012 NE8J, NJ8J, and NV8J trucks. The engines have a wrist pin bushings in the connecting rods that may shift and cause excessive cylinder wear. Ex- cessive wear of the cylinders can result in engine failure, increasing the risk of a crash. Navistar is recalling certain 2016 International DuraStar, LoneStar, ProStar, TerraStar, TranStar, WorkStar, 9900i, and IC Bus HC vehicles equipped with certain Spicer D or E series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen. If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
