Please Note: (Thu 26 Jun 2008) Child Safety Seat and Tire Recalls are immediately below the vehicle and equipment recalls under their own headings
Aprilia Tuono 1000 R, RSV 1000 2005-2007 Motorcycles (Tue 08 Jul 2008) Piaggio is recalling 977 MY 2005-2007 Aprilia Tuono 100 R and RSV 1000 motorcycle models equipped with Bitron spa fuel pump/fuel filters. The fuel hose connecting the fuel filter to the fuel pump/fuel filter mounting flange may come loose. If this fuel hose connection is loose, or has become completely disconnected, then there will be a drop in, or loss of, fuel pressure to the engine. A drop in, or loss of fuel pressure to the engine, the engine would stall increasing the risk of a crash.
Moto Guzzi Norge 2007-2008 Motorcycles (Tue 08 Jul 2008) Piaggio is recalling 646 MY 2007-2008 Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 motorcycle models equipped with Triom headlights, low beam bulb and headlight reflectors. The headlight low beam bulb has a pigtail wire attached to it. This wire connects the low beam bulb to the motorcycle's wiring harness. It may touch the hardware used to secure the bulb in the reflector. Over time and vibration the insulation may wear through causing the direct short to ground. This short causes the motorcycle's main fuse to blow and all electrical power to the motorcycle to stop. Electrical power to the motorcycle is cut off and as a result, the engine stalls increasing the risk of a crash.
Nissan Sentra 2007-2008 Passenger Vehicles (Wed 02 Jul 2008) Nissan is recalling 169,202 MY 2007-2008 Sentra passenger vehicles equipped with a Robert Bosch master cylinder. Due to the machining irregularity by the supplier, the internal seal groove in the body of some brake master cylinders may allow for a gap in the groove contact area of the seal. This may result in brake fluid slowly leaking from the master cylinder into the brake booster assembly, causing the brake warning light to illuminate. If the warning lamp is ignored, one of the brake circuits on the vehicle may not operate as designed increasing the risk of a crash.
KZRV Inferno 2008 Fifth Wheel Travel Trailers (Wed 02 Jul 2008) KZRV is recalling 419 MY 2008 Inferno fifth wheel toy hauler trailers equipped with Lippert suspension hangers. These suspension hangers may be at risk of premature wear or failure. This could result in the unit exhibiting unusual body lean, poor handling while being towed, excessive tire wear, and/or failure without prior warning.
Triumph Speed Triple 2008 Motorcycles (Tue 01 Jul 2008) Triumph is recalling 93 MY 2008 Speed Triple motorcycles. Due to improper machining of the handlebar riser, the handlebar may slip in the clamps. This slippage could cause a loss of control of the motorcycle increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Magnum 2008 Vehicles (Tue 01 Jul 2008) Chrysler is recalling 5,509 MY 2008 300, Dodge Magnum, and Charger vehicles. The torque retention crimp feature was missed during the manufacture of one lot of rear axle hub nuts. This could cause the nuts to loosen and allow the halfshaft to disengage from the wheel hub. This could cause the vehicle to lose power and result in a crash without warning.
Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX 2008 Vehicles (Mon 30 Jun 2008) Ford is recalling 142 MY 2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX all wheel drive vehicles. The fuel tank weld fixture may have been exposed to a contaminant during production which could cause a dimple in the bottom of the fuel tank at a spot weld. This dimple could result in a fuel leak or a fuel drip from the tank. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Jayco Designer 2008 Fifth Wheel Travel Trailers (Sat 28 Jun 2008) Jayco is recalling 156 MY 2009 Recon, Eagle, and Designer fifth wheel travel trailers. An electrical short can occur if the metal terminal rubber crimp cap was not installed correctly. If the cap was to fall off the battery charge line, an electrical short may occur which could result in a fire, crash, injury, or death.
HID 9006, H13, H3 HID Headlight Kits (Thu 26 Jun 2008) Mike's Performance Audio is recalling 5 HID headlight kits sold for use as aftermarket parts for motor vehicles. These kits fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

These motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of the code of federal regulations, part 567, 'certification.' The occupant and cargo carrying capacity were calculated incorrectly allowing additional load carrying capacity. Overloading may have an adverse affect on motor home handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
Infinity QX56; Nissan Armada, Titan 2005-2006 Vehicles (Tue 24 Jun 2008) Nissan is recalling 180,664 MY 2005-2006 Titan, Armada and Infinity QX56 vehicles manufactured after March 17, 2005, that are equipped with a Visteon air conditioning condenser fan motor. The fan motor may not be properly sealed allowing excessive water intrusion and inadequate drainage of moisture. This could cause corrosion in the motor leading possibly to overheating and a fire.
Spartan MI, MS 2006-2008 Utility Vehicles (Tue 24 Jun 2008) Supreme is recalling 3,598 MY 2006-2008 Spartan MS and MI utility vehicles. The roof of the utility vehicles can dislodge while in use. The rear corner posts and front corner posts could delaminate over time. Failure of the adhesive to secure the sub-assemblies of the body could allow the roof to come off while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of serious injury or crash.

The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present. Extended operation of a leaking cooling unit could lead to a fire from gas which might escape.
Holiday Rambler Alumnascape, Presidential 2009 Fifth Wheel and Travel Trailers (Thu 19 Jun 2008) Monaco is recalling 22 MY 2009 Alumascape fifth wheel, Alumascape suite and Presidential travel trailers. These trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, "Tire Selection And Rims For Motor Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars." When tires were changed on these vehicles, the Federal identification label was printed with incorrect information. The tire inflation is listed as 80 psi when the correct pressure should be 65 psi. Over inflated tires could cause or contribute to premature tire failure; possibly resulting in a sudden blowout or other failure which could result in a loss of control of the unit increasing the risk of a crash.
Mitsubishi Galant 2004-2005 Passenger Vehicles (Thu 19 Jun 2008) Mitsubishi is recalling 73,000 MY 2004-2006 Gallant passenger vehicles. During vehicle use, the ignition key interlock cable (which is a component of the interlock system) may allow the interlocking cam to fall forward and allow the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch when the gearshift mechanism is not in the park position. If the driver does not shift to park before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.
