Transport Canada recall 2016643 · manufacturer campaign RVXX1608

20 December 2016

Transport Canada lists: VNL 2013–2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with an electronic air dryer, the operating parameters may have been set incorrectly. This could allow condensation into the air brake system, potentially affecting brake system function in cold weather conditions and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Brakes

Transport Canada recall 2015374 · manufacturer campaign RVXX1503

17 August 2015

Transport Canada lists: VNL 2014–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the draglink ball socket boot may be damaged due to the angle of the ball stud. This could cause contaminants to enter the ball socket and cause corrosion, accelerating the wear of the ball. If left untreated, the ball joint could separate from the socket resulting in complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the draglink.

Transport Canada recall 2015116 · manufacturer campaign RVXX1501

18 March 2015

Transport Canada lists: VHD 2015 · VNL 2015 · VNM 2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, brake chamber diaphragm(s) may not be properly seated. This could lead to brake drag, causing brake overheating or unintended spring brake application. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the brake chambers.

Powertrain

Transport Canada recall 2014529 · manufacturer campaign RVXX1406

20 November 2014

Transport Canada lists: VHD 2014–2015 · VNL 2013–2015 · VNM 2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with Eco-Roll, which allows the transmission to disengage from the engine in certain situations to conserve fuel, a defect in the software may prevent the drivetrain from reengaging when coming out of Eco-Roll. This could occur without prior warning and under certain conditions, extend stopping distances, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update vehicle software.

Engine

Transport Canada recall 2014388 · manufacturer campaign RVXX1404

9 September 2014

Transport Canada lists: VNL 2014–2015 · VNX 2015

What is wrong

On certain model vehicles with a D16 engine, engine software parameters may have been incorrectly set at time of manufacture, which could cause the engine to stall. This would result in a loss of motive power and affect functioning of the power steering system as well as other safety systems. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update vehicle software.

Brakes

Transport Canada recall 2014387 · manufacturer campaign RVXX1403

9 September 2014

Transport Canada lists: VNL 2014–2015 · VNM 2014–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, bolts that hold the brake caliper to the backing plate may not have been tightened to specification, and could allow the brake caliper to separate from the backing plate. This would disable braking at the affected wheel, which could cause the vehicle to pull to one side during braking, and also increase stopping distances, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect bolts and repair as required.
