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.
Reflective tape that is covered may make the truck less visible to others and could create an increased risk of a crash.
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.
On certain vehicles equipped with a Caterpillar C15 engine, the Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) oil line may wear against the P-clip retaining the oil line. An oil leak could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Caterpillar dealers will replace the VVA oil line with an updated version.
A failure of this component (engine) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain trucks, the fifth wheel hitch assembly's lever arm may have been incorrectly installed during the manufacturing process. The lever arm pivot bolt may have been over-tightened which could distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve and prevent the fifth wheel latch jaw from closing and latching securely around the trailer king pin. This could allow the towed unit to separate from the towing vehicle while underway, potentially causing a crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the pivot bolt and sleeve with a hex head shoulder bolt and washer.
A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain trucks, when the ignition key is in the 'ON' position, the pre-heater, located in the fuel filter base, is energized. If this pre-heater is energized while maintenance is being performed on the fuel filter, diesel fuel could ignite within the filter housing. A fire within the fuel filter housing may spread possibly resulting in property damage or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the fuel heater assembly.
A failure of this component (fuel system) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain vehicles, the internal rubber check valve inside the Bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve can become deformed over time. The effect of this defect is intermittent and presents a potential delay or failure in applying the parking brakes; potentially resulting in a vehicle roll away. Should this occur, the unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a check valve repair kit.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain trucks, an improperly seated or missing u-joint snap ring for the inter-axle driveshaft assembly could allow a bearing cup to separate. The u-joint cross could then contact the slip yoke casting and eventually cause the ear work to fracture. This could result in additional damage to the driveline, the vehicle to which it is attached and any additional nearby objects. Correction: Dealers will replace drivelines with missing or incorrectly installed snap rings.

On certain vehicles, a defect in the modulated spring brake valve casting may cause an intermittent delay in the application of the park brake. This could cause the vehicle to roll away without warning, possibly causing personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect valves for a suspect date code and cavity number. Defective valves will be replaced.
