• 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.

  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.

• 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.

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.
