12 Tech Updates Crane Carrier Company is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 LET2, COE, LDT2, and LE2 refuse vehicles manufactured April 16, 2008, through Feb. 28, 2014, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines. Condensa- tion in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor. The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or fl ames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fi re or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe. Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recall- ing certain model year 2014 Freightliner 108SD, 114SD, 122SD, Coronado, Argosy, Cascadia, Columbia, and M2 Business Class, and Western Star 4700, and 4900 vehicles manufactured Aug. 5, 2013, through Nov. 15, 2013, and equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt diffi cult to unlatch. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency. Daimler Buses North America is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 Orion VII transit buses manufactured January 2007 through October 2012 equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines. Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather condi- tions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor. The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or fl ames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fi re or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe. DUECO Inc., a manufacturer of utility vehicles, is recalling certain Dueco-modifi ed model year 2009- 2011 International 4300, 2010 International 4400, 2009 and 2011 International 7400, 2010 Freightliner M2, 2008-2009 GMC C5500, and 2011 Ford F-750 vehicles, equipped with Sure Power DC-DC converters containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specifi c potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conduct- ing electricity after being exposed to heat. Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fi re. Great Dane Trailers is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 fl atbed trailers. In the affected trail- ers, the brackets used to store aluminum J-hook cargo restraint plates may break and allowing the cargo restraint plates that are stored on the brack- et to fall from the trailer. If the bracket breaks, the falling restraint plates may become a road hazard for drivers of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash. Mack Trucks is recalling certain model year 2014- 2015 CXU, 2010-2015 LEU, and 2011-2015 MRU vehicles manufactured with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G and ISX12 G engines.
