• Recall 2020158 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  Issue: on certain trucks equipped with "fleet engineer" mud flaps, the bracket for the mud flaps may partially cover the rear reflective tape. Canadian regulations require that reflective tape must be visible on the rear of the truck. Safety risk: reflective tape that is covered may make the truck less visible to others and could create an increased risk of a crash. Corrective actions: daimler trucks of north america (dtna) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to an authorized dtna service facility to inspect the reflective tape. It will be moved as necessary to meet the regulations.

• Recall 2012080 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain trucks equipped with a detroit diesel dd13, dd15 or dd16 engine, the support system for the high pressure fuel line (between the fuel pump and the fuel delivery rail) may be damaged during a service repair procedure. Incorrect torque applied to the dampener "p" clip fasteners may damage the fasteners, which could allow the clips to loosen. This could result in a cracked fuel line and a diesel fuel leak. Diesel fuel leakage may ignite on a hot engine surface and cause a fire. As well, diesel fuel spilt on the roadway could endanger other road users by making the roadway unexpectedly slippery. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace the high pressure fuel line and install a more robust fuel line support system.

• Recall 2011411 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles equipped with an mbe4000 (epa07) engine, the intake air grid heater may short circuit and fail. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will install an additional external relay to prevent battery connection to the grid heater when the vehicle is not running and when grid heater control signal is absent.

• Recall 2011367 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain trucks equipped with a rack & pinion steering system, the lower pinion bearing may corrode and fail. As a result, the vehicle may require additional steering input while driving in a straight line. This could also cause a loss of steering power assist. These issues could ultimately result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect the rack and pinion gear assembly. If it passes the inspection, new bellows will be installed and grease added to the bottom pinion bearing. A steering gear that fails the inspection will be replaced.

• Recall 2011346 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles, specific operating conditions (such as tight, successive, highly banked curves in opposite directions), could trigger unintended electronic stability control (esc) system intervention. As a result, the esc may unnecessarily apply one of the front brakes in order to correct the perceived oversteer condition. This may cause the vehicle to deviate from the intended path, thereby increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace the esc module.

• Recall 2011345 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain trucks, the plastic low-pressure fuel line between the engine-mounted fuel filter and the engine block may develop a diesel fuel leak. The location of the leak is unlikely to result in a vehicle fire; however, diesel fuel spilt on the roadway could endanger other road users by making the roadway unexpectedly slippery. This could ultimately result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace the plastic low-pressure fuel line with a steel version.

• Recall 2009259 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain trucks, the left inner tie rod end may loosen and eventually separate from the steering rack. Tie rod failure could result in a loss of steering control and a crash, causing personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will remove and inspect the left inner tie rod. Damaged steering racks will be replaced.

  Show Content

• Recall 2007359 [Canada]: Other
  On certain trucks, the fifth wheel hitch assembly's lever arm may have been incorrectly installed during the manufacturing process. The lever arm pivot bolt may have been over-tightened which could distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve and prevent the fifth wheel latch jaw from closing and latching securely around the trailer king pin. This could allow the towed unit to separate from the towing vehicle while underway, potentially causing a crash with injury or death. Correction: dealers will replace the pivot bolt and sleeve with a hex head shoulder bolt and washer.

• Rack and pinion failure investigation # PE09040

  A consumer complaint was filed with the agency on august 22, 2009, by an independent contractor leasing a 2009 freightliner cascadia.The complaint alleges that in april of 2009 at approximately 50,000 miles he experienced a seal rupture in the rack and pinion assembly.A new seal was installed and at 56,000 miles he found his right steer tire completely bald.The repair shop identified an internal failure of the rack and pinion assembly causing the rapid wear of the tire.Odi has identified ewr field reports related to failed rack and pinions on the subject vehicles.The reports identify either an internal failure of the rack and pinion assembly that resulted in crashes or a looseness of the inner tie rod end of the rack and pinion resulting in a poor alignment and premature tire wear.Information received during this investigation from freightliner detailed failures of the rack and pinion assemblies on the subject vehicles.These failures were the result of the left hand inner tie rod end becoming loose over time.When the tie rod becomes loose, it may separate from the rack and pinion assembly and make the vehicle difficult to steer.Frieghtliner has concluded that a defect related to motor vehicle safety does exist on the subject vehicles and has initiated a safety recall (09v-357) that will remedy all of them.This recall involves removing the tie rod and adding a compound to it that will prevent the tie rod from coming loose over time.A copy of the recall is attached.Freightliners action resolves the issues raised by this investigation and, therefore, this investigation is closed.
