13 E series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen. If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash. Navistar is recalling certain 2018-2019 IC Bus CE school buses. The hydraulic brake hose on the steer axle may be improperly routed and, as a result, the brake hose may contact the tire. Contact with the tire may cause the hose to leak brake fl uid, affecting braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash. Paccar is recalling certain 2016 Peterbilt 220, 320, 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 382, 384, 386, 389, 389G, 567, 579 and 587 trucks and Kenworth K170, T170, T270, T370, T440, T470,T660, T680, T800, T880, and W900 trucks equipped with certain Spicer D or E series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen. If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash. Paccar is recalling certain 2009-2010 Peterbilt 210 and 220 trucks; 2012-2018 Peterbilt 210, 220, 330 and 337 trucks; and 2010-2018 Ken- worth K270 and K370 trucks. These LFNA trucks have a front axle sway bar link that may come loose on the frame rail end and fall into the path of the drag link, possibly binding the steering system. If the sway bar link detaches and falls into the drag link, it may impact the ability of the vehicle to steer properly, increasing the risk of a crash. Polar Tank Trailer is recalling certain 2018 SRJ7 trailers manufactured with Meritor MTA/MTP trailer suspensions. The brake caliper bolts on these axles may not be properly torqued which can allow the caliper to detach from the mounting fl ange. If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper detaches from the mounting fl ange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash. Trail King is recalling certain 2013-2018 Flatbed Trailers, model numbers TK20, TKT20, TK24, TKT24, and TK32. The axles on these vehicles may have been installed incorrectly, reducing the braking ability of the electric brakes. The brakes may not be able to be applied to full strength, increasing the risk of a crash. Trail King Industries, Inc., is recalling certain 2018 Fifth Wheel Live Bottom trailers, model OLB844NG-HH, manufactured with MPA/MTA suspensions equipped with Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on these axles may not be properly torqued which can allow the caliper to detach from the mounting fl ange. If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper detaches from the mounting fl ange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash. Volvo Bus Corporation is recalling certain 2017- 2018 Prevost 9700 transit buses. The buses may not react when the accelerator pedal is pushed. If the vehicle does not accelerate when command- ed, there would be an increased risk of a crash. Wabash National Corporation is recalling certain 2012-2013 converter dolly trailers. The af- fected trailers have fasteners connecting the counter weight tube to the body that may wear and/or loosen over time allowing the detachment of the counterweight tube from the converter dolly body while in motion. Detachment of the counter weight while the dolly is in motion can increase the risk of a crash. W W W . T R U C K P A R T S A N D S E R V I C E .
