ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL

Published May 19, 2016 · Recall initiated: May 19, 2016

What's the hazard

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2014-2017 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner HDX buses manufactured November 29, 2012, to February 4, 2016. These vehicles use a rubber elbow to connect a coolant line to a heater inside the bus. This elbow may restrict coolant flow and possibly fail as a result of the increased stress on the elbow.

What to do

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rubber elbow with a nylon fitting, 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-708.
