Rappels 2012 Freightliner Cascadia

• Feux et instruments#202015814 avril 2020

  873 unités visées

  Problème : Sur certains camions équipés de garde-boue ""Fleet Engineer"", le support des garde-boue pourrait recouvrir partiellement le ruban réfléchissant arrière. La réglementation canadienne exige que le ruban réfléchissant soit visible à l'arrière du camion. Risque pour la sécurité : Un ruban réfléchissant qui est masqué pourrait rendre le camion moins visible pour les autres et créer un risque accru de collision. Mesures correctives : Daimler Trucks of North America (DTNA) doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur camion à un centre de service DTNA autorisé pour faire inspecter le ruban réfléchissant. Il sera déplacé si nécessaire afin d'être conforme à la réglementation.

• Suspension#201839530 juillet 2018

  32 unités visées

  Sur certains camions, les vibrations de frein et la corrosion pourraient causer la fatigue et la défaillance du tube de biellette de direction, ce qui pourrait séparer les roues avant et réduire la capacité de diriger le véhicule et donc augmenter les risques de collision causant des blessures ou des dommages matériels. Mesure corrective : Les installations d'entretien Daimler Trucks of North America doit remplacer, au besoin, les garnitures de freins, les porte-segments de frein et les biellettes de direction.

• Freins#201758328 novembre 2017

  41 763 unités visées

  Dans certains véhicules munis de freins pneumatiques, après un certain nombre d'applications brusques des freins, le manocontact des feux de freinage pourrait ne pas actionner les feux de freinage avec une légère pression exercée sur la pédale de frein. Si les feux de freinage ne s'allument pas, les autres usagers de la route qui suivent le véhicule touché ne sauront pas que le conducteur a l'intention de faire ralentir son véhicule, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les installations de service autorisées de Daimler Trucks North America répareront le contacteur de pression des feux de freinage.

• Structure#201548616 octobre 2015

  13 unités visées

  Sur certains véhicules, les mécanismes de verrouillage de la sellette d'attelage pourraient être susceptibles d'être endommagés ou de s'user (ou les deux). Cela pourrait empêcher le mécanisme de verrouillage de s'enclencher correctement, ce qui pourrait causer le détachement de la remorque du tracteur routier. Par conséquent, la remorque pourrait heurter un autre véhicule, un objet fixe ou une personne à proximité, ce qui entraînerait des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires Fontaine devront remplacer toutes les sellettes d'attelage Ultra LT par des sellettes d'attelage Ultra NT.

• Autres#201244221 décembre 2012

  7 unités visées

  Sur certains camions, le panneau d'accès inférieur pourrait se détacher et se séparer du groupe auxiliaire TriPac (APU) Thermo King. Un panneau qui se sépare du véhicule pourrait frapper un autre véhicule, un objet stationnaire ou une personne se trouvant à proximité, ce qui pourrait endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les installations d'entretien autorisées Thermo King devront inspecter et, si nécessaire, remplacer le panneau d'accès de l'APU.

• Freins#201228115 août 2012

  147 unités visées

  Sur certains camions, les supports de fixation du réservoir à air pourraient se fissurer, ce qui pourrait causer le détachement du réservoir. Si le réservoir se détachait du véhicule, il pourrait aller percuter un autre véhicule, un objet stationnaire ou une personne se trouvant à proximité. De plus, la perte du réservoir entraînerait une perte des freins de service, ce qui pourrait augmenter les distances de freinage et causer un accident. Ces problèmes pourraient endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les supports de fixation du réservoir à air.

• Freins#201213923 avril 2012

  179 unités visées

  Sur certains camions, le couvercle de la valve de desserrage rapide pourrait ne pas avoir été soudé correctement pendant la fabrication et se desserrer, ou se détacher de la valve. Si cela se produisait, l'air pourrait ne pas être envoyé aux freins avant lors du serrage des freins. Les freins arrière continueraient de fonctionner. Une diminution de l'efficacité des freins pourrait augmenter les distances de freinage, causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les installations de réparation autorisées Daimler devront inspecter et, si nécessaire, remplacer la valve de desserrage rapide.

• Direction#201211930 mars 2012

  256 unités visées

  Sur certains véhicules, un dispositif de fixation de volant incorrect pourrait avoir été posé pendant le montage du véhicule. L'écrou incorrect pourrait ne pas fournir la force de serrage nécessaire pour bien fixer le volant sur l'arbre de direction. Cela pourrait causer le battement axial du volant et nuire au fonctionnement du véhicule. Si on ignorait le problème, l'écrou pourrait se desserrer complètement et causer le détachement du volant de l'arbre de direction. Cela pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l'écrou du volant.

• Sièges et dispositifs de retenue#201211330 mars 2012

  248 unités visées

  Sur certains véhicules, la base du siège du conducteur pourrait ne pas avoir été fabriquée correctement et pourrait faire défaut. Si c'était le cas, le siège pourrait s'abaisser subitement. S'il s'abaissait pendant que le véhicule roule, cela pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la base du siège du conducteur.

• Système d'alimentation en carburant#201208027 février 2012

  11 923 unités visées

  Sur certains camions munis d'un moteur Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15 ou DD16, le système de soutien de la canalisation de transport de carburant à haute pression (entre la pompe à carburant et la rampe d'alimentation en carburant) pourrait être endommagé lors d'une réparation. Un couple de serrage incorrect appliqué aux dispositifs de fixation amortisseurs en forme de P pourrait endommager ces dispositifs, ce qui pourrait causer leur desserrement. Cela pourrait créer une fissure dans la canalisation de transport de carburant et causer une fuite de carburant diesel. Une telle fuite pourrait s'enflammer au contact d'un moteur chaud et provoquer un incendie. De plus, un déversement de carburant diesel sur la chaussée pourait mettre en danger les autres usagers de la route en rendant la chaussée glissante. Ces problèmes pourraient causer des dommages aux biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le système de soutien de la canalisation de transport de carburant par une version plus solide de la canalisation, et aussi remplacer la canalisation de transport de carburant à haute pression.

• Autres#201134619 septembre 2011

  1 027 unités visées

  Sur certains véhicules, des conditions de fonctionnement spécifiques (comme des courbes serrées, successives et très relevées dans des directions opposées) pourraient déclencher le système de contrôle électronique de la stabilité. En conséquence, le système de contrôle pourraient serrer inutilement l'un des freins avant afin de corriger le survirage perçu. Cela pourrait faire dévier le véhicule de la trajectoire prévue, ce qui augmenterait les risques d'accident, endommagerait des biens matériels ou blesserait quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le module du système de contrôle de la stabilité.

• Circuit électrique#201123622 juin 2011

  5 924 unités visées

  Sur certains camions munis d'un moteur DD15 ou DD16, le boulon qui fixe un isolateur en caoutchouc à un support pourrait se desserrer, sortir et toucher au câble du démarreur. Cela pourrait causer un court-circuit et provoquer un incendie, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un nouveau boulon et un nouvel isolateur, et appliquer de l'enduit frein-filets sur le dispositif de fixation.

• Groupe motopropulseur#201117227 avril 2011

  81 unités visées

  Sur certains camions, l'arbre de transmission pourrait ne pas avoir été soudé correctement pendant le processus de fabrication. Cela pourrait permettre à l'arbre de transmission de se fracturer le long du joint de soudure du tube lorsque du couple est appliqué. Le tube fracturé pourrait se tordre ou se séparer, ce qui pourrait endommager davantage l'arbre de transmission, le véhicule auquel il est fixé, et toutes les pièces à proximité supplémentaires. Si les canalisations de transport d'air des freins s'endommageaient, cela pourrait entraîner le serrage des freins à ressort, ce qui causerait un blocage immédiat des freins. Si cela se produisait pendant que le véhicule roule, un accident pourrait survenir. De plus, une défaillance de l'arbre de transmission entraînerait une perte de propulsion du véhicule qui, en conjonction avec la densité de la circulation, l'état de la route et les réactions du conducteur, pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident. Cela pourrait endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l'arbre de transmission.
