Rappels 2013 Autocar ACX

• Circuit électrique#20166001 décembre 2016

  107 unités visées

  Dans certains véhicules, la bobine de relais pourrait se briser en raison de vibrations dans le boîtier à fusibles. Si la bobine de relais se brise, le moteur calera sans redémarrer. Cela pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront installer un support supplémentaire afin de diminuer les vibrations dans le boîtier à fusibles.

• Freins#201603022 janvier 2016

  6 unités visées

  Sur certains véhicules munis de configurations de cabine à deux volants et à conduite debout du côté droit, la goupille fendue de verrouillage servant à fixer en place la pédale de frein sur son support de montage pourrait avoir été mal installée lors de l'assemblage. Par conséquent, la pédale de frein pourrait se desserrer et se détacher du support de montage, ce qui rendrait l'application des freins difficile et, par conséquent, augmenterait les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et réparer les véhicules touchés.

• Moteur#20152549 juin 2015

  34 unités visées

  Sur certains véhicules munis de moteurs Cummins Westport ISL-G, une pression excessive dans le carter du moteur pourrait causer le détachement du tube de mise à l'air libre du reniflard. Cela pourrait permettre à l'huile moteur d'entrer en contact avec des surfaces chaude, ce qui augmenterait les risques de déclenchement d'un feu pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront installer des brides aux deux extrémités du coude du tube de reniflard, ainsi que reprogrammer le module de commande électronique (ECM) afin d'améliorer les capacités de diagnostic.

• SERVICE BRAKES, AIR#13V184000en anglais seulement8 mai 2013

  Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2005-2013 ACX, WX, and WXLL trucks built November 16, 2004, through September 10, 2012. On the affected vehicles, the air brake systems were built without the required air tank drain valve. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."

Due to an insufficient weld, the windshield wiper arms of the vehicles may not be held in their proper position. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 104, "Windshield wiping and washing systems."
