13 Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2017 Freightliner Cascadia and Western Star 5700 trucks built with NFD tandem rear axles. During the hardening process, the axle as- sembly output shaft may have been made brittle, possibly resulting in the output shaft fracturing while the vehicle is in use. If output shaft frac- tures while descending a grade, the compression braking will be ineffective. Additionally, large de- bris may land in the road. Both scenarios increase the risk of a crash. DTNA is recalling certain 2016-2018 Thomas Built Buses Minotour DRW school buses. The occupant seats may have been installed without reinforcement brackets being used underneath the seat rail as intended. Without reinforce- ment brackets, in the event of a crash, the seats may come loose, increasing the risk of injury. DTNA is recalling certain 2014-2018 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner EFX and Saf-T-Liner HDX school buses. The occupant seats may have been installed without under-rail washers, reducing their anchorage strength. Without under-rail washers, in the event of a crash, the seats may come loose, increasing the risk of injury. DTNA is recalling certain 2013-2018 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner HDX transit and school buses. The occupant seat lap belts may have been anchored to the seat instead of the bus structure. A seat lap belt anchored to the seat instead of the bus structure may not properly restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury. DTNA is recalling certain 2013-2018 Freightliner Custom Chassis S2G Chassis trucks. The vehicles have an airline hose and the engine block coolant heater wire that may not have been properly routed and secured during production. The af- fected airline and wire may contact the exhaust pipe, possibly resulting in melting and shorting, increasing the risk of a fi re. Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2016 Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vehicles equipped with reinforced front axles. The affected vehicles have tire labels on the B-pillar that list a tire pressure that is too low. Operating the vehicle with low front tire pressures may result in tire damage, increasing the risk of a crash. Isuzu Technical Center of America is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 and 2012- 2013 Isuzu NPR and NPR HD vehicles and 2008- 2009 GMC W3500 and GMC W4500 vehicles. The affected vehicles, equipped with a gasoline- powered engine, have a throttle pedal that may get stuck under the steel stopper bolt, causing the pedal to remain in the full throttle position. A stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it diffi cult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death. McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2016-2017 Bridgemaster V concrete mixers, equipped with both FLEX Controls and an optional broadband backup alarm. The backup camera display may shut off and the alarm may stop sounding if the truck is in reverse for an extended period of time. If the backup alarm stops emitting the alarm sound when the truck is still reversing, others may not be alerted that the truck is backing up, increasing the risk of personal injury. Paccar is recalling certain 2012-2018 Kenworth T800 and T880 vehicles equipped with Neway ADZ tridem rear suspensions. The brake control airline may be the incorrect size, resulting in an imbalance in the service brake application timing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air brake systems." An incorrectly sized airline may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 1999- 2013 Arrow XT, Dash, Enforcer, Quantum and Velocity fi re trucks equipped with the electric All-steer rear steering option. The affected vehicles have rear steer axle shafts that were not properly heat treated. Axle shafts that are not properly heat treated may break and poten- tially disable the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Spartan Motors USA is recalling certain 2010- 2014 K2 and K3 motor home chassis and Gladiator emergency response chassis cabs. A component within the starter motor may break, potentially resulting in the starter motor over- heating or drawing excessive current. A starter motor that overheats may increase the risk of a fi re.
