Micro Bird is recalling certain model year 2011- 2013 Micro Bird G5 school buses manufactured Sept. 20, 2010, through June 13, 2013, and equipped with a Roush CleanTech LLC propane fuel system. Due to a reaction between the dif- ferent metals, the affected vehicles may develop a propane leak where the aluminum fuel line fi tting contacts the brass supply valve housing. A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fi re. NABI Bus, LLC is recalling certain model year 2012 31LFW city transit buses manufactured April 27, 2012, through Dec. 16, 2012. In the affected vehicles, the steering column support bracket may not be properly welded to the dash assembly. If the steering column support bracket detaches, the steering column may become loose, causing the steering to become inoperable, increasing the risk of a crash. Paccar is recalling certain model year 2010- 2015 Peterbilt 579, 388, 384, 367, 365, 348, and 337 trucks manufactured Oct. 30, 2009, through May 21, 2014. In the affected vehicles, if power is interrupted to the seat electronic control unit (ECU), such as when the fuse for that circuit blows, the side air bag would be disabled but there will not be a warning lamp indicator to notify the operator of the malfunc- tion. Without a warning of a problem existing in the side air bag system, the driver may continue to operate the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury from the side air bag not deploying in the event of a rollover. Motor Coach Industries is recalling certain model year 1993-1995 102DL3 motor coaches manufactured November 1992 to January 1995, and 2006 and 2008 D4505 motor coaches manufactured June 2005 to April 2008. The affected buses are equipped with a driveshaft with a compressed length of 30 inches or less, a steerable trailing axle equipped with a system that changes the tag axle caster when the vehicle is in reverse travel and no electronic stability control (ESC). In these vehicles, the driveshaft may detach from the transmission and escape its containment bracket. If the driveshaft escapes containment it can strike the trailing axle tie rod and components of the trailing axle locking system potentially causing the trailing axle steer- ing and caster locking mechanisms to unlock. If this occurs, the driver may experience loss of steering control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Utility Truck Equipment Company, LLC is recall- ing certain model year 2010-2013 UTLI41A, 2011 UTLN41, and 2012 UTLN46 aerial trucks manufactured December 2010 to September 2013 equipped with certain Muncie Power Products PTO Assemblies installed on 2010-2013 Ford F-350, F-450 and F-550 vehicles. In the affected vehicles, oil may leak from the PTO pressure switch onto a thermal blanket covering the exhaust. The leaking oil may soak into the thermal blanket cov- ering the exhaust, which when combined with heat from exhaust, may result in an increased risk of fi re. W W W .
