Top Story - What’s with the rash of recalls all over trucking?
Alan Adler - Midwest Bureau Chief - FreightWaves - Nunica, MI
Volvo, Nikola, Daimler, Bendix and Navistar recalling over 100,000 trucks for various reasons.
Is this coincidence or is there something behind all of these issues coming at once?

Who has more to worry about here - the fact that Daimler and Navistar had about 100K trucks recalled or that electric makers had their entire fleets recalled?
