Summary

Recalling firm: Daimler Trucks North America, LLC; 2015 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner Hdx | 2014 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner Hdx | 2013 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner Hdx | 2011 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner Hdx | 2008 Sterling Lt8500 | 2009 Sterling Lt8500 | 2015 Freightliner M2 | 2008 Freightliner 114sd | 2011 Freightliner 114sd | 2012 Freightliner 114sd | 2013 Freightliner 114sd | 2014 Freightliner 114sd | 2015 Freightliner 114sd | 2016 Freightliner 114sd | 2012 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner Hdx | 2010 Freightliner 114sd | 2009 Freightliner 114sd | 2007 Freightliner 114sd | 2011 Freightliner M2 | 2009 Freightliner M2 — Engine and engine cooling: engine.
What's the hazard
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2007-2016 Freightliner 114SD and M2 Business Class trucks, 2008-2009 Sterling LT8500 trucks and Thomas Built Bus Saf-T-Liner HDX transit buses equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
What to do
Cummins will notify owners on behalf of DTNA, and dealers will secure the ends of the 90-degree elbow. In addition, the electronic control module (ECM) will be reprogrammed with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-681.
