Alexis Fire Equipment models’ loss of vehicle control from loose axle clamp fasteners
Alexis Fire Equipment Company is recalling a 2022 and a 2024 tanker truck built on Freightliner M2 chassis. The axle clamp fasteners may be loose, which can result in a loss of vehicle control. A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of a crash.
This recall potentially affects two vehicles. An authorized Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) service facility will inspect and tighten the fasteners, as necessary. Owner notification letters were expected to be mailed January 28. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 800-547-0712 or Alexis Fire customer service at 309-482-6121.

Hyundai models’ instrument panel display failure
Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2025-2026 Tucson Hybrid, Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Electric (PHEV), 2026 IONIQ 5, Santa Cruz, Kona, Palisade, Palisade Hybrid, Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid, Sonata, Sonata Hybrid, and Tucson vehicles. Due to a software error, the instrument panel display may fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays." An instrument panel display that fails to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, increases the risk of a crash.
This recall potentially affects 41,651 vehicles. The instrument panel display software will be updated over-the-air (OTA) or by a dealer. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 27. Owners may contact Hyundai's customer service at 855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 293.
Oshkosh models’ wheel may detach from vehicle
Oshkosh Corporation is recalling certain 2025 NGDV vehicles. The rear axle hub fasteners may loosen, causing the wheel to detach. A detached wheel can cause a loss of vehicle control or become a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
This recall potentially affects 40 vehicles. Oshkosh Defense will replace and properly tighten the fasteners. Owner notification letters were expected to be mailed on January 30. Owners may contact Oshkosh Defense customer service at 833-304-8100. Oshkosh Defense's number for this recall is NGDV_TSB_057.
Toyota models’ rearview camera image may not display
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2024-2025 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system. The rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility." A rearview camera image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
This recall potentially affects 161,268 vehicles. Dealers will update the parking assist ECU software. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 10. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26TB02 and 26TA02.
