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.
Consequence:
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.
Correction:
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.

Consequence:
If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. this failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.

Daimler trucks north america llc (dtna) is recalling certain model year 2011-2017 thomas built buses saf-t-liner hdx school buses manufactured april 28, 2010, to april 15, 2016. the affected vehicles have a transmission retarder that may increase coolant system pressure high enough to cause hose fatigue and lead to premature failure of the hose, resulting in a coolant leak inside the bus body.
Consequence:
If the heater hose fails, hot coolant may leak inside the bus body increasing risk of injury to the passengers.
Correction:
Dtna will notify owners, and dealers will replace the heater hose, free of charge. an interim notice was mailed on july 6, 2016. the recall began on september 20, 2016. owners may contact dtna customer service at 1-800-547-0712. dtna's number for this recall is fl-709.

Defect:
Daimler trucks north america llc (dtna) is recalling certain 2002-2017 thomas built buses saf-t-liner c2, saf-t-liner hdx, fs65, and minotour school buses, equipped with kidde plastic-handle or push button 'pindicator' fire extinguishers. these extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. for a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/rmisc-17e062-5427.pdf
Consequence:
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Correction:
Dtna will notify owners instructing them to contact kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. the recall is expected to begin march 30, 2018. owners may contact dtna customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or kidde customer service at 1-855-262-3540 or online at www.kidde.com and click on "product safety recall" for more information. dtna's number for this recall is fl-759.
