Transport Canada recalls

Tires#2021706November 17, 2021
948 units affected
Issue: Certain trucks were built with tires that are not approved for use with the truck's wheels. As a result, the tires may not perform properly, or a tire could fail. Safety Risk: A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development. You will be instructed to bring your truck to a DTNA authorized service facility when a repair is available.
Powertrain#2021060February 11, 2021
787 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, the retaining clip on the transmission oil cooler line may fail. If this happens, the cooler line could detach from the radiator. This can result in a transmission fluid leak. Safety Risk: A transmission fluid leak could create a hazard for others by making the road slippery. Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a DTNA authorized service facility to inspect and repair the transmission fluid cooler lines connections on the radiator tank.
Lights And Instruments#2020158April 14, 2020
873 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks equipped with "Fleet Engineer" mud flaps, the bracket for the mud flaps may partially cover the rear reflective tape. Canadian regulations require that reflective tape must be visible on the rear of the truck. Safety Risk: Reflective tape that is covered may make the truck less visible to others and could create an increased risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks of North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to an authorized DTNA Service Facility to inspect the reflective tape. It will be moved as necessary to meet the regulations.
Lights And Instruments#2019336July 4, 2019
1,280 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks equipped with electronic stability control (ESC), the brake lights may turn on when the automatic traction control (ATC) activates. Canadian regulations do not allow brake lights to turn on when the automatic traction control activates. Safety Risk: Brake lights that turn on when a vehicle is not slowing could confuse other drivers. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their truck to a Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facility. The truck will either be reprogrammed or retrofitted so the brake lights do not turn on when the automatic traction control (ATC) activates.
Brakes#2019237May 17, 2019
110 units affected
Issue: Certain trucks were built with air reservoir tanks that are too small in relation to the size of the air brake chambers. Canadian regulations require enough air reservoir capacity to ensure the brakes work even with heavy use or when there is a partial loss of the air system. Safety Risk: Reduced braking could cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their truck to a Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facility to modify the truck to ensure it meets Canadian regulations.
Suspension#2018395July 30, 2018
32 units affected
On certain trucks, a combination of brake vibrations and corrosion could cause the tie-rod tube to fatigue and break. This may lead to a disconnect between the front wheels and reduce the ability to steer the vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Daimler Trucks of North America Service Facilities will replace brake linings, brake spiders and tie rods as necessary.
Accessories#2017636December 18, 2017
16,510 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly. Note: For more information about recalled fire extinguishers, please visit <a href="https://inmarmarketaction.com/kidde/Kidde284CA/">www.kidde.com</a>.
Wheels#2016419August 30, 2016
149 units affected
On certain vehicles, the specified front axle weight limit may be greater than the hub capacity. If the axle load exceeds the maximum weight capacity of the hub, there is an increased risk of hub fatigue, which could cause a complete separation of the wheel(s) and a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the incorrectly specified front axle hubs.
Brakes#2016176April 22, 2016
22 units affected
On certain vehicles, the rear disk brake calipers may contact the spring suspension due to incorrect caliper orientation. This could reduce rear brake effectiveness which would result in increased stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will correct the orientation of the rear calipers.
Engine#2015336July 24, 2015
172 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with Cummins Westport ISL-G engines, excessive engine crankcase pressure could cause the vent tube assembly molded rubber adapter to detach from the breather. This could allow engine oil to come in contact with hot surfaces, increasing the risk of fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install clamps at both ends of the adapter of the breather tube assembly and reprogram the Electronic Control Module (ECM) to improve diagnostic capabilities.
Accessories#2015276June 19, 2015
8 units affected
On certain mobile document shredder vehicles, installation of the shredding equipment combined with the increased weight of additional emissions components may have caused the vehicle weight to exceed the front gross axle weight rating (GAWR). This would result in vehicle being overloaded, potentially affecting vehicle handling characteristics, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: For vehicles built on the Freightliner M2 106 chassis, dealers will provide a new compliance label to reflect an increased GAWR (to 9000 lbs from 8000 lbs), and upgrade the front axle as necessary. For vehicles built on the Hino 258LP chassis, dealers will provide a new compliance label to reflect an increased GAWR (to 8500 lbs from 8000 lbs).
Brakes#2014483October 29, 2014
218 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with an Auto-park brake feature, the parking brake may apply unintentionally when the vehicle experiences a severe road vibration, such as travelling over a highway rumble strip at highways speeds. This severe vibration may cause air to pass through the solenoid valve, resulting in increased air pressure to the control port and potentially causing the dash-mounted park brake valve to pop out, causing an unintended park brake application without brake light illumination. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the auto-park solenoid valve and its mounting bracket.
Engine#2014050February 21, 2014
113 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with Cummins ISL G or ISX12 G engines, incorrect engine ECU programming could cause the exhaust system temperature to become elevated during cold weather operation. This could also cause flames to be emitted from the exhaust. As a result, nearby combustible material could be ignited, increasing the risk of a fire, injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Authorized Cummins service facilities will update software programming.
Engine#2013349October 7, 2013
9 units affected
Certain vehicles destined for emergency vehicle applications may have been configured inappropriately. Software intended to protect the engine may not have been disabled at time of manufacture. Under certain conditions, unintended engine shutdown could hamper rescue operations and put the public at risk. Correction: Dealers will update engine software to disable engine shutdown protocols.
