2011 FCCC MC recalls
Recall 12V-242: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Daimler trucks north america (Dtna) is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2012 freightliner custom chassis incomplete motorhome chassis manufactured from march 18, 2005, through july 19, 2011, equipped with bosch hydraulic disc brake. Hydraulic brake equipped motorhome chassis exposed to long periods of time of non-driving may experience diametrical brake caliper piston growth and reduced piston to bore clearance potentially leading to brake drag and overheating resulting in reduced brake performance.
Risk: Reduced brake performance may lead to a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dtna will notify owners, and dtna dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. The safety recall began on november 7, 2012. Owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712.
Recall 11V-474: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2011- 2012 business class m2 and coronado trucks manufactured from september 1, 2010, through december 31, 2010, equipped with a cummins isx or isl diesel engine. The V-band clamp assembly, part numbers q187684, q187685, and q187686, used to connect the inlet and outlet cone sections to the diesel oxidation catalyst (Doc)/diesel particulate filter (Dpf) include a t-bolt which can fracture and fail when subjected to stress or load. A fracture or failure of the t-bolt may cause the clamp to loosen and the inlet or outlet sections attached to the doc/DPF housing to disconnect.
Risk: If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. If both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/DPF housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.
Fix: Daimler trucks is working with cummins to identify and notify owners of the recall campaign. Repairs will be performed by authorized cummins dealers free of charge. The safety recall began on october 10, 2011. Owners may contact cummins at 1-812-377-5000 or daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
