Rappels 2010 Freightliner Columbia

• 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.

• Freins#201923717 mai 2019

  110 unités visées

  Problème : Certains camions ont été construits avec des réservoirs d'air trop petits. Cela peut entraîner une réduction du freinage si plusieurs freinages sont nécessaires sur une courte période de temps. La réglementation canadienne exige une capacité de réservoir d'air suffisante pour que les freins fonctionnent même en cas d'utilisation intensive ou de perte partielle du circuit d'air. Risques pour la sécurité : Un freinage réduit peut nécessiter des distances d'arrêt plus grandes et augmenter les risques d'accident. Mesures correctives : Le constructeur doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'apporter leur camion à un centre de service autorisé de Daimler Trucks North America pour faire installer un réservoir d'air d'une plus grande capacité.

• 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#201141121 novembre 2011

  1 412 unités visées

  Sur certains véhicules à moteur MBE4000 (EPA07), la grille de chauffage de l'air d'admission pourrait se court-circuiter, faire défaut et provoquer un incendie, ce qui pourrait endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un relais externe supplémentaire pour empêcher la batterie de se brancher à la grille de chauffage lorsque le véhicule ne fonctionne pas et lorsqu'il n'y a pas de signal de commande au niveau de la grille de chauffage.

• Direction#201136714 octobre 2011

  1 457 unités visées

  Sur certains camions munis d'une direction à crémaillère, le roulement de pignon inférieur pourrait se corroder et faire défaut. En conséquence, le véhicule pourrait nécessiter un plus grand effort pour être dirigé en ligne droite, et une perte de l'assistance de la direction pourrait s'ensuivre. Ces problèmes pourraient finir par endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter le mécanisme de direction à crémaillère. Si le mécanisme réussit l'inspection, de nouveaux soufflets devront être posés et de la graisse devra être ajoutée au roulement du pignon du bas. Si le mécanisme échoue l'inspection, il devra être remplacé.

• 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.

• Système d'alimentation en carburant#20101443 mai 2010

  3 194 unités visées

  Sur certains véhicules, si le filtre à carburant se bouchait, la bride de carburant basse pression pourrait se fissurer, ce qui pourrait provoquer une fuite de carburant. Une fuite de carburant, en présence d'une source d'allumage externe, pourrait provoquer un incendie, endommager des biens matériels, blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vies. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la bride de carburant à basse pression par une pièce plus robuste.

• Moteur#200929414 octobre 2009

  1 802 unités visées

  Sur certains véhicules, le chauffe-moteur pourrait faire défaut, ce qui pourrait provoquer un incendie, endommager des biens matériels, blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vies. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront reprogrammer la logique de commande du moteur afin que le moteur démarre par temps froid sans chauffe-moteur. Le fil qui se rend au chauffe-moteur devra être enlevé.

• Système d'alimentation en carburant#20092875 octobre 2009

  3 080 unités visées

  Sur certains camions, la canalisation de carburant basse pression en plastique pourrait se fissurer par fatigue et fuir. Une fuite de diesel pourrait s'enflammer sur un moteur chaud et causer un incendie, ce qui pourrait endommager des biens matériels, blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vies. De plus, la présence de diesel sur la chaussée pourrait mettre en danger les autres usagers de la route. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la canalisation de carburant basse pression en plastique par une canalisation basse pression en acier.

• Moteur#200927022 septembre 2009

  5 647 unités visées

  Sur certains véhicules munis d'un moteur Caterpillar C15, la canalisation d'huile du système de calage variable des soupapes pourrait s'user sur l'attache en P qui retient la canalisation d'huile.
