Safety recalls (2)
Power Train 2017-03-29 · campaign 17V215000 · 25 vehicles
Defect: Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2015-2016 FCCC S2G trucks equipped with an 8.0L propane engine and an Allison transmission. The transmission grade brake on these trucks may not deactivate when the disable switch is depressed, which can cause a loss of traction in certain icy, or other slippery conditions, due to aggressive downshifting.
Risk: If the transmission grade brake stays engaged, unknowingly to the operator, in low-traction conditions, it can increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle's programming, free of charge. The recall began on May 31, 2017. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-734.
Fuel System, Other:delivery 2014-09-24 · campaign 14V592000 · 405 vehicles
Defect: Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 FCCC S2G, MT45G, and MT55G truck chassis manufactured September 17, 2013, to August 27, 2014. The affected vehicles may be equipped with LPI fuel rails for 6 and 8 liter engines. The propane fuel injectors in these fuel rails may not be properly secured by the retainer clip and a fuel delivery tube may leak.
Risk: Either condition may result in a propane leak which may cause a stall. Additionally, leaking propane in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Fix: DTNA will notify owners, and Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities or CleanFuel USA authorized repair facilities will verify the proper installation of the injector retainer clip, and replace any leaking fuel delivery tubes, free of charge. The recall began on November 21, 2014. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-667.
