12 Allied Recreation Group is recalling certain 2014 Holiday Rambler Presidential fi fth wheel trailers, model 363 RE, manufactured Feb. 28, 2013, to Nov. 1, 2013, 2014 Holiday Rambler Presidential fi fth wheel trailers, model 363 RL, manufactured Jan. 30, 2013, to June 21, 2013, 2015 Holiday Rambler Alumascape fi fth wheel trailers, model 313 RL, manufactured Jan. 30, 2013, to Oct. 25, 2013, and 2015 Holiday Rambler Alumascape fi fth wheel trailers, model 343 RE, manufactured Oct. 15, 2013, to Oct. 25, 2013. The affected trailers may be equipped with certain Frigidaire KG series Microwave model CFMV154CLS convection microwaves manufac- tured Jan. 27, 2013, through April 10, 2013. These microwaves may start on their own and begin heating when unattended. If the microwave starts on its own and there are contents inside, a fi re could result. Blue Bird is recalling certain model year 2015- 2016 Vision school and non-school transit buses manufactured June 19, 2014, to Dec. 11, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the voltage inverter for the illumination of the driver's heater control panel may fail. An inverter failure may produce smoke and increase the risk of a fi re. Hino is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 238, 258, 268, and 338 trucks manufactured Jan. 5, 2015, to March 20, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the U-bolt that connects the suspen- sion springs to the front axle may have been overtightened. If the U-bolt was overtightened, the bolt may stretch resulting in it loosening or failing. Either result may cause a loss of steering ability, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Navistar is recalling certain model year 2015- 2016 IC CE school buses manufactured Aug. 8, 2014, to Feb. 20, 2015, and 2015-2016 IC RE school buses manufactured July 31, 2014, to Jan. 9, 2015, equipped with Haldex air brake actuators. The affected brake actuators may have been manufactured with an incomplete attach- ment of the internal rubber diaphragm to the actuation mechanism. This could cause dragging or overheated brakes. If the brakes drag and overheat there is an increased risk of a wheel end fi re. Navistar is recalling certain model year 2015 IC RE non-school Transit Buses manufactured Nov. 4, 2014, to Nov. 18, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the air brake hose for the front wheel service brakes may contact the tires when the steering is fully turned. Contact with the tire may result in hose abrasion, resulting in an air leak, causing the vehicle to pull to one side when braking and/or requiring extra distance to stop the bus. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash. Navistar is recalling certain model year 1999- 2002 International 4800 4x4 trucks manufac- tured June 30, 1999, through May 28, 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 drive- shaft, may seize under certain conditions. If the double Cardan joint of the driveshaft seizes, the front driveshaft may separate and under certain conditions, potentially cause a front axle lockup, increasing the risk of a crash. Navistar is recalling certain model year 2016 In- ternational PayStar trucks manufactured Jan. 19, 2015, to Jan. 20, 2015, and 2016 International WorkStar trucks manufactured on Jan. 19, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with Meritor MT-40-14X rear drive axles that may circulate an inadequate amount of lubricant to the wheel end hub assembly. Without adequate lubrication to the wheel end hub assembly, the bearings may fail prematurely, increasing the risk of a crash. Paccar is recalling certain model year 2015- 2016 Peterbilt 220 and Kenworth K300 trucks manufactured Sept. 1, 2014, to March 30, 2015. Each time the cruise control speed decrease button is pressed, the vehicle speed will actually increase by one mile per hour. If a driver is intending to slow down a vehicle but instead it inadvertently speeds up, there is an increased risk of a crash. Spartan Motors is recalling certain model year 2015 K3 chassis manufactured Feb. 28, 2014, to Oct. 21, 2014. In the affected chassis, the tag axle suspension hangers may move allowing the tag axle assembly to shift off center. If the tag axle moves off center, vehicle handling may sud- denly be affected, increasing the risk of a crash. Spartan Motors is recalling certain model year 2014 Utilitmaster Walk-In Vans manufactured Dec. 8, 2014, to Jan. 23, 2015, and altered by Lippert Components. Due to inadequately torqued fasteners, the driveshaft may disconnect. If the driveshaft disconnects there would be a loss of power delivery to the rear axle, increasing the risk of a crash.
