• Vehicle roll away investigation # PE20003

  On april 1, 2020, following information received from the office of defects investigation (odi) network of fleet contacts, odi opened pe20-003 to investigate reports of vehicle roll away in certain model year (my) 2008-2020 autocar and mack refuse trucks equipped with certain bendix pp-1 push-pull pneumatic park brake control valves with a pipe-away exhaust configuration. Prior to odi’s investigation,[kk(1]  bendix commercial vehicle systems llc (bendix), the subject component manufacturer, published two related technical service bulletins (tsbs): bendix push-pull type control valves service data sd-03-3611 rev. 007 (2019-03) and bendix pp-1 & pp-8 park control valve wear and replacement notice technical bulletin tch-003-056 (2019-11-20). Odi sent information request (ir) letters to motor vehicle manufacturers autocar llc (autocar) and volvo trucks north america/mack trucks, inc. (volvo/mack) and motor vehicle equipment manufacturer bendix. Ir response data from all three manufacturers was analyzed and cross-referenced to gain further understanding. To date, odi is aware of 5 vehicle roll-away incidents related to the alleged defect condition in the subject vehicles equipped with the subject components, resulting in 4 crashes and 1 injury. On december 9, 2021, volvo/mack notified the agency of a safety recall (21v953) to address a safety defect in certain my 2008-2019 terrapro (mru) and my 2019-2022 terrapro (te) trucks originally equipped with the subject components. [kk(2] on january 1, 2023, autocar notified the agency of a safety recall (23v023) to address a safety defect in certain my 2008-2020 acx (xpeditor), my 2012-2020 acmd (xpert), my 2010-2020 actt (xspotter), my 2008-2010 wx and my 2008-2010 wxll trucks. Volvo/mack and autocars recall remedies involve removing the vent line fitting threaded into the exhaust port of the subject pp-1 valve. [vd(3] both autocar and mack have stopped equipping new refuse trucks with park control valves using the exhaust pipe-away configuration. After discussions between odi and bendix concerning ways to prevent new pp-1 valves from being sold and installed with a potential for the exhaust to become restricted, bendix will take the following actions: 1) issue a letter to all original equipment (oe) customers with important safety information warning them about the safety risk of attaching plumbing to the exhaust port when the subject component is used as a park control valve; and 2) affix a warning label on all aftermarket parts warning not to install pipe-away exhaust port plumbing. In view of the recalls being conducted by volvo/mack and autocar, and the actions taken by bendix, odi has closed this preliminary evaluation. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist in equipment or other model or my vehicles that have not been recalled. The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted.

Dead pedal issue. When truck in motion, going up hill or down hill, even when truck turn sometimes gas pedal doesn't work. It is too dangerous for to us out there on busy street. We been tell the company to fix it but they just don't care.*dt*jb

Autocar xpeditor has issues with "dead pedal." meaning that when the gas is pressed and the vehicle is in motion the fuel delivery stops and the motor stalls, sometimes causing the truck to shut off but not always. The dead pedal always causes the truck to roll backwards unexpectedly. Waste management seattle operates dozens of these trucks and despite several driver complaints has failed to address or correct the issue in any way. The fleet of affected trucks operates primarily on residential streets with highway driving to get to route or the dump. The dead pedal issue happens typically from the right hand side of the truck while the driver is standing and driving.*dt*jb

Our entire new fleet of trucks, to my knowledge, have a severe stalling issue. While working from the work side of the vehicle, the engine stalls out down to idle while under any level of throttle. This can happen in a single instance or several back to back, causing an immanent threat when the vehicle rolls backwards on a slope or looses steering ability because the stall is sometimes so bad that it kills the engine altogether. Management had been informed and has seemingly refused to take appropriate action. This issue continues to worsen and the fleet is only 7 months or so old. There have already been accidents involving a truck rolling backwards due to this problem and someone is eventually going to be hurt or killed.*dt consumer stated i have spoken with someone at my facility that has access to information regarding just how many trucks in the fleet that are known to have these problems.*jb*dt*tr*dt consumer update still having issues with pedal several times a day.*jb
