On certain trucks equipped with a Caterpillar C15 diesel engine, the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) combustion tube may fail. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the DPF combustion tube.
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).
Certain vehicles may suffer cracking of various brake assembly components (i.e. brake cam tube mounting flanges, brake air chamber bracket, brake air chamber, brake spider). Over time, this cracking can cause a complete fracture of the cam tube, which could increase stopping distances and decrease parking brake hold capability. A reduction of braking capability could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect the rear axle brake assembly, replace cracked rear axle brake components where required, and install cam tube support brackets on all rear axle wheel ends.
A failure of this component (brakes) 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).
Certain vehicle configuration which includes an AG400 rear suspension, long stroke brake chambers, and wide base tires may develop an increase in lateral and vertical axle movement. This movement may cause part or parts of the brake assembly to develop fatigue cracks, possibly resulting in the failure of part or parts within the brake assembly. A failure may reduce vehicle brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
A failure of this component (suspension) 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 inadequate stiffness of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) bracket could result in the separation of the DPF from the chassis, which could result in personal injuries or death to motorists or bystanders. Correction: Caterpillar dealers will replace bracket as necessary.
A failure of this component (other) 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 rear axle u-bolts may have received insufficient tightening torque during vehicle assembly. This could allow the u-bolts to loosen over time, which may cause vibration in the rear suspension. If multiple fasteners were to become loose, the U-bolt holding the axle may lose clamp load and the rear axle may shift relative to the rear suspension drive beam, which might result in a crash causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will tighten the axle u-bolts.
