12 Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain model year 2016 Vision and All American rear engine school buses manufactured Feb. 11, 2015, to April 2, 2015. The affected vehicles have seat bottoms whose foam core may not meet the fl ammability requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 302, "Flam- mability of Interior Materials." If the seats are built with this seat bottom foam core, the seats may not resist catching fi re in the presence of an ignition source, increasing the risk that a fi re may start or spread. Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 Sterling Bullet 4500 and 5500 trucks manufactured Oct. 15, 2007, to Nov. 10, 2008. The affected vehicles are equipped with a dual-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the infl ator to rupture. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the infl ator could rupture with metal fragments strik- ing and potentially seriously injuring the driver or other occupants. Daimler Buses North America is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 Orion VII natural gas-powered transit buses manufactured Jan. 1, 2007, to Oct. 1, 2012. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces. If the engine oil comes into contact with hot surfaces, it can increase the risk of a vehicle fi re. Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500, and 2006-2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vehicles manufactured July 1, 2005, to July 31, 2008. The affected vehicles are equipped with a passenger side frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the infl ator to rupture upon its deployment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front pas- senger's frontal air bag, the infl ator could rupture with metal fragments striking the passenger seat occupant or other occupants possibly causing serious injury or death. Mack Trucks is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Mack MRU and LEU trucks manu- factured June 25, 2010, to April 30, 2015, and 2015-2016 LR6 trucks manufactured from Dec. 18, 2014 through March 6, 2015. Exces- sive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces. If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there could be an increased risk of a fi re. NABI Bus, LLC is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 LFW and BRT transit buses and 2007-2013 CLFW transit buses. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces. If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fi re. Paccar is recalling certain model year 2011- 2016 Kenworth T270, T370, T440, T470, C500, C540, C550, T680, T800, W900, and 963 trucks manufactured Nov. 1, 2010, to April 7, 2015. In the affected trucks, water may leak into the wiper motor. As water leaks in, the wiper may cease to function on the 'intermittent' set- ting, reducing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the water may cause corrosion that over time may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fi re. Paccar is recalling certain model year 2014- 2016 Kenworth T660, T680, T880 trucks manu- factured Feb. 18, 2013, to April 10, 2015, and 2011-2016 Peterbilt 386, 389, 567, 579, and 587 trucks manufactured Dec. 13, 2010, to April 20, 2015. The affected trucks, equipped with Paccar MX-13 engines and Delco-Remy 40SI al- ternators, have alternator charge cables that may chafe against a formed metal freon discharge line. If the alternator cable rubs through its insulation, an electrical short may occur, increasing the risk of a fi re. Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 VNM trucks manu- factured March 21, 2011, to April 30, 2015. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
