13 Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2015-2017 Freightliner M2 Business Class, 108SD, and 114SD vehicles. The affected vehicles might not have a required check valve installed in one of the ports of the spring brake modulation valve. Without the valve, the primary air system is not isolated from the second- ary air system. A rapid loss of air pressure in the secondary system could cause a similar rapid loss of pressure in the primary system, which may lead to a sudden ap- plication of the parking brakes. This could increase the risk of a crash. Entegra Coach is recalling certain 2018 Cornerstone motorhomes equipped with Cummins ISX 15L engines. These engines have a fuel pump whose drive gear could possibly slip on its drive shaft, causing a fuel pump function loss, resulting in an engine stall. An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash. Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2015-2017 F-150, and 2017 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 vehicles origi- nally produced with black or body colored exterior door handles that may have been subsequently equipped with a chrome exterior door handle cover accessory kit purchased from a Ford dealer. These accessory door handle covers may cause the doors to unlatch in a side impact collision. As such, these vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Reten- tion Components." If the doors unlatch and open in a side impact collision, the occupants have an increased risk of injury. Forest River is recalling certain 2017 Rockwood travel trailers, models RLF8301WS and RLF- 8301WS-W. The affected vehicles have a Federal Placard with an incorrect ninth place check digit printed on the VIN label. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification." The incor- rect Check Digit will hinder the registration of the vehicle, which can lead to improper licensing and the failure to properly ac- count for the vehicle in the event of a safety recall. Paccar is recalling certain 2017-2018 Peterbilt 367, 389, 567, 579 and 587 trucks, and 2018 Kenworth C500, T680, T800, T880 and W900 trucks equipped with Cummins ISX 15L engines. These engines have a fuel pump whose drive gear could possibly slip on its drive shaft, causing a fuel pump function loss, resulting in an engine stall. An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash. Spartan Motors USA is recalling certain 2017-2018 K3 and K4 motor home chassis and Gladiator emergency response chassis cabs equipped with Cummins ISX 15L engines. These engines have a fuel pump whose drive gear could possibly slip on its drive shaft, causing a fuel pump function loss, resulting in an engine stall. An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash. Transportation Collaborative is recalling certain 2012-2017 Transtech Bus ST Aero, SST, CST, Horizon, and RoadStar transit buses equipped with Bus-Air air conditioning systems. These air conditioning systems use a 30AMP in-line fuse that may short against the screw that se- cures the fuse holder. If the fuse short circuits, the holder may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire. W W W . T R U C K P A R T S A N D S E R V I C E .
