• Recall 72747 [USA]: A leak in the fuel injection line may spray fuel on the hot surfaces of the exhaust gas recirculation system, which could result in an engine fire.

• Recall 31981 [USA]: This condition can cause a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button. these conditions can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, brake drag, or in the case of loss of primary circuit, inability to modulate the spring brakes.
  On certain trucks equipped with parker single check valves (scv) provided by bendix. The defect exists in the parker scv that connects with the supply port of the sr-7 spring brake modulating valve. After prolonged use of the parker scv, the valve body retainer may become excessively worn and eventually break apart. Pieces of the parker scv can become lodged inside the sr-7 spring brake modulating valve, potentially causing either leakage out of the sr-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the sr-7 valve.

• Recall 2007265 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain school and transit buses, the parker single check valve (scv) that connects with the supply port of the bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valve may become excessively worn and eventually break apart. Pieces of the parker scv can become lodge inside the sr-7 valve, possibly causing either leakage out of the sr-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the sr-7 valve. This condition can cause a delay in the application of the parking brakes, the spring brakes not fully releasing or loss of isolation between the primary and secondary circuits. These conditions can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, brake drag, or in case of loss of primary circuit, inability to modulate the spring brakes. An unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the single check valve (scv).

• Recall 2007278 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain trucks, the engine configuration makes servicing fuel injection lines difficult when using traditional tools.

Underhood fuel leakage could result in a vehicle fire. Correction: dealers will install an updated fuel injection line that offers better clamping surface when torqued. This will be done using specially designed tools to ensure correct torque is applied.
