13 Tech Updates during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pres- sure 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. Mack Trucks is recalling certain model year 2010- 2012 CHU, CXU, GU and TD vehicles manufactured June 16, 2009, through July 18, 2011. In the affected vehicles, the Electronic Power Distribution Module (EPDM) may be contaminated from water leaks in, and around, the windshield. If exposed to water leaks, contaminants such as road salts may deposit on the EPDM. Deposits of contaminants may result in the circuits being bridged, creating a high resistance short, increasing the risk of a fi re. Navistar is recalling certain model year 2014 In- ternational Prostar trucks manufactured Septem- ber 2013 through December 2013, and equipped with feature code 14GXP 6X2 rear axles with 'R' hubs and Dual Track rear axles. In the affected ve- hicles, axle shafts of an incorrect length may have been installed, which can cause the splines on the axles shafts to be only partially engaged into the side gears of the rear axle differential. The partial engagement could cause the axle shaft splines or side gears to fail, which may result in loss of power to the drive wheels causing the vehicle to stall on the roadway, increasing the risk of a crash. Paccar is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Peterbilt 365, 367, 388, 389 trucks manufac- tured Oct. 6, 2007, through Sept. 23, 2013. The affected vehicles were built with 16.5 in. by 7 in. front drum brakes and Bendix ES-420 brake linings installed on front axles rated to carry between 20,001 and 22,000 lbs. GAWR and larger SLR (20.5 in. to 21.5 in.) tires, however these brake linings are not rated for this confi guration. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems." The improper brake confi guration could lengthen the braking distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Spartan Motors is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Transit Bus Chassis Cab vehicles manufactured Feb. 17, 2011, through March 18, 2014. The affected vehicles have fuel tank mount- ing cross members that could crack and potentially allow the fuel tank to fall to the ground, resulting in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an igni- tion source increases the risk of a fi re. Volvo Trucks is recalling certain model year 2013- 2015 VNL trucks, and 2013-2014 VNM trucks equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G and ISX12 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. Volvo Bus Corporation is recalling certain model year 2009-2014 9700 coaches equipped with a wheelchair lift. In the affected vehicles, the sliding seats, which can be moved to make room for wheelchair passengers, have lock down handles which can be forced to latch in an incorrect loca- tion. Locking the seats incorrectly may cause damage to the handle and cause the seat to not latch properly. If the sliding seat is not locked in place, the seat may move forward and backward on the track, increasing the risk of injury to the seat passenger if the coach is involved in a crash. W W W .
