12 Tech Updates Alliance Bus Group is recalling certain model year 2014 Thomas MyBus vehicles, 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. Blue Bird is recalling certain model year 2013- 2015 Vision school buses manufactured Dec. 5, 2011, to July 2, 2014, and equipped with the optional Roush CleanTech propane fuel system. In the affected vehicles, the return fuel line may crack near the support bracket. A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fi re. Blue Bird is recalling certain model year 2013- 2014 All American rear engine school buses manufactured July 21, 2011 to April 30, 2014, and equipped with CNG fuel systems and delivered to the following "Cold Weather" states: Colorado, Pennsylvania, Utah and Wyoming. In the affected vehicles, an O-ring in the pressure relief device for the compressed natural gas (CNG) system may fail at cold temperatures resulting in a natural gas leak. A natural gas leak in the presence of an ignition source could potentially cause a fi re or explosion. Fontaine Heavy-Haul is recalling certain 2015 Magnitude 100 low-bed trailers manufactured January 2014 to June 2014. The affected trailer's front bogie axle weldment, rear bogie axle structure, and rear bogie attachment lugs may not have received an adequate number of welds which may result in these components separating from the main structure. Separa- tion of the components from the main structure increases the risk of a crash. Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 Thomas Built Buses FS-65, Saf-T-Liner C2, Saf-T-Liner HDX, Saf- T-Liner EF, Saf-T-Liner EFX, and Minotour DRW school buses, as well as 2006-2015 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner HDX, Saf-T-Liner EF, Saf-T-Liner EFX, and Minotour DRW transit buses, manufactured Jan. 3, 2006, to Aug. 1, 2014. The affected vehicles are equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack. If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator. Dakota Trailer Manufacturing, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 Air Ride Grain ag- gregate trailers manufactured October 2013 to January 2014, and Air Ride side dump trailers manufactured December 2013 to December 2014, and equipped with certain SAF-Holland- brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems. The affected trailer suspensions have pivot bolts that may fail. Failure of the pivot bolts may cause the suspension and attached axle to separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash. NABI Bus is recalling certain model year 2014 LFW and BRT transit buses manufactured May 2, 2014, to Aug. 8, 2014. The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel fi lters, part number FF63009, whose fi lter shell may separate from the fuel fi lter nut plate causing the engine to stall without warning. If the engine stalls unexpect- edly, there is an increased risk of a crash. NABI Bus is recalling certain model year 2013- 2014 31LFW transit buses manufactured Feb. 10, 2013, to March 10, 2014, and 2012-2014 40LFW transit buses manufactured Oct. 5, 2012, to June 2, 2014, and equipped with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel systems manufactured by Agility Fuel Systems. The tanks for the CNG fuel system may be abraded by Pressure Relief Devices (PRDs) mounted adjacent to the tanks. Contact between the PRD and the tank may result in a CNG leak, increasing the risk of a fi re. Navistar is recalling certain model year 1999- 2002 International 4800 4x4 trucks manufac- tured June 1, 1999, through May 31, 2002, and equipped with Fabco TC-200 transfer cases. The fi eld remedy that these vehicles received as part of Navistar recall 05501 (NHTSA recall number 03V-415), a double Cardan front driveshaft, may seize under certain conditions. If the double Cardan joint of the driveshaft seizes, the front driveshaft may separate and under certain condi- tions, potentially cause axle lockup, increasing the risk of a crash. Paccar is recalling certain model year 2013- 2015 Kenworth K300 and Peterbilt 210, 220, and 320 chassis manufactured March 14, 2012 to July 14, 2014. The affected vehicles may have loose fi tting electrical connectors on the power distribution module which may cause the engine to shut off. An unexpected engine shut down increases the risk of a crash. Paccar is recalling certain model year 2015 Kenworth K270, T270, K370, T370, T440, T470, and W900 chassis manufactured May 13, 2014, to July 23, 2014, and certain model year 2015 Peterbilt 210, 220, 320, 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 382, 384, and 567 chassis manufactured May 8, 2014, to July 22, 2014. The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel fi lters, part number FF63009, whose fi lter shell may separate from the fuel fi lter nut plate causing the engine to stall without warning. If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash. Strick Trailers, LLC is recalling one model year 2014 Van Trailer manufactured on De.r 9, 2013, and equipped with an SAF-Holland-brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle System.
