C O M F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 7 | T R U C K P A R T S & S E R V I C E Cummins, Inc., is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Cummins Power Generation Generator sets, models C60D6R, C150D2RE, C100D6R, C200D6R, C200D2RE, C275D2RE, and C300D6R, manufactured Dec. 18, 2015, to Oct. 3, 2016. The affected generator sets have been mounted on trailers, and due to the possibility that the door hinges may fail, the generator set doors may detach while the trailer is being moved. If the door detaches, it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 Sterling Bullet 4500 and 5500 cab chassis vehicles manu- factured Nov. 1, 2007, to Nov. 7, 2008. The affected vehicles have a 220 amp alternator that may develop a short circuit. If the alternator develops a short circuit, there is an increased risk of a fi re. Paccar is recalling certain model year 2017 Peterbilt 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 386, 389, and 587 vehicles manufactured April 20, 2016, to June 13, 2016. The brake lights may not illuminate when the brakes are applied. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Refl ec- tive Devices, and Associated Equipment." If the brake lights do not illuminate when the brakes are applied, other drivers will be unaware the vehicle is stopping, which can increase the risk of a crash. Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2017 Volvo VHD, VNL, and VNM trucks manu- factured Feb.19, 2016, to June 21, 2016. Additionally, Mack Trucks is recalling certain model year 2012, 2014-2015 and 2017 Granite (GU), 2012-2017 Pinnacle (CHU, CXU), and 2013-2015 and 2017 Titan (TD) trucks manufactured Jan. 7, 2011, to Sept. 29, 2016. The affected vehicles were built with front wheel hubs that cannot support the gross axle weight rating of the front axle. Overloaded front wheel hubs can result in premature failure of the hubs, bearings, and the related components, which can cause the front hub assembly to separate from the front axle. Because of this, the driver may lose control of the vehicle or parts may be dropped on the road, increasing the risk of a crash. Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2013-2017 VNL and VNM trucks and certain model year 2017 VNX trucks. In the affected vehicles, incorrect software for controlling the electronic air dryer may result in oil and water contaminating the brake system. If the brake system becomes contaminated, braking performance could be affected, increasing the risk of a crash. © 2017 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
