12 T R U C K P A R T S & S E R V I C E | A u g u s t 2 0 1 5 Blue Bird is recalling certain model year 2009- 2016 All American rear engine school buses manufactured Dec. 7, 2008, to May 11, 2015, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventila- tion 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. Collins Bus Corporation is recalling certain model year 2015 DE516WR, SL408, SH40, and DH500 school buses manufactured Feb. 2, 2015, to April 1, 2015. The affected vehicles have seat bottoms whose foam core may not meet the fl ammabil- ity requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 302, "Flammability 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 (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2015 Western Star 4700, 4800 and 4900 trucks manufactured Nov. 15, 2014, to Jan. 30, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the speedometer may not operate properly, possibly not displaying the vehicle's speed. If the speedometer does not show the vehicle speed, the driver may unknowingly exceed the posted speed limit, increasing the risk of a crash. Fontaine Trailer Company is recalling certain model year 2016 Revolution fl at deck platform and step deck platform semi-trailers manufac- tured April 20, 2015, to May 13, 2015. In the affected trailers, the hardened washers used in the bolted connections that secure the upper coupler, landing gear and suspensions to the trailer sub-frame may crack. Failure of the wash- ers can cause the bolted joints to loosen, causing detachment of the trailer's structural compo- nents, increasing the risk of a crash. Forest River is recalling certain model year 2013 XLR and Vengeance, 2010 Sandpiper, 2004 Auto Plus, 2008 Cargo Mate and 2015-2016 Hydra- Lift trailers. In the affected trailers, the studs that are used to attach the wheels to the axle hubs may break. If the wheel studs break, the wheel could detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Great Dane is recalling certain model year 2015 Converter Dolly trailers manufactured Feb. 18, 2014, Oc. 27, 2014. Due to a problem with the brake valve, the affected dollies may experience brake drag. If the brakes drag on the converter dolly, the wheel end may overheat, resulting in a fi re. Also, the wheel may detach. Either condition increases the risk of a crash. Navistar is recalling certain model year 2015- 2016 International 9900 trucks manufactured Jan. 6, 2014, to March 12, 2015, and 2015- 2016 International Lonestar trucks manufactured Feb. 20, 2014, to March 13, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with a 6 in diameter stack tail pipe, which may not have suffi cient support. The unsupported weight of the upper stack tail pipe and vibration associated with normal vehicle operation over time may cause a crack of the weld joint between the inlet pipe and the fl are expansion of the stack tail pipe, which may result in partial or full separation of the stack tail pipe from the vertical exhaust pipe. If the stack tail pipe separates from the exhaust pipe it can fall into the roadway possibly hitting another vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Paccar is recalling certain model year 2014 and 2015 Kenworth T660, T680, and T800 trucks manufactured January 29, 2013, to April 2, 2014, and 2013 Peterbilt 587 trucks manu- factured on Aug. 8, 2012. The affected trucks are built with a driveshaft that may not transmit power to the wheels due to weld failure from corrosion. If the weld fails causing a loss of power to the rear wheels, the vehicle operator may be unable to move the vehicle, or may experience deceleration if the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Rush Truck Centers of Texas, LP, doing business as Custom Vehicle Solutions, is recalling certain modifi ed 2011-2016 Peterbilt 337 trucks manufactured March 26, 2010, to March 9, 2015, modifi ed 2013-2015 Peterbilt 348 trucks manu- factured May 14, 2012, to March 25, 2014, and modifi ed 2014 Peterbilt 382 trucks manufactured on Nov. 1, 2013. The affected trucks, converted from conventional day cabs to crew cabs, may be equipped with seat belt anchorage assemblies that may come unanchored when under load. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages." If the seat belt anchor pulls away, the seat occupant may not be properly secured in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
