What is wrong

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the secondary clutch disengagement switch may have been omitted during vehicle assembly or, in some instances, removed during servicing. As such, primary switch failure would cause the automated manual transmission’s clutch to remain engaged when the brakes are applied. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will install a micro-switch at the brake pedal and update the software to run a diagnostic on the switch during engine start-up.

Transport Canada recall 2012032 · manufacturer campaign RVXX1202 / RVXX1203

1 February 2012

Transport Canada lists: VHD 2011–2012 · VNL 2011–2013 · VNM 2011–2013

What is wrong

On certain trucks equipped with Bendix ATR-6 Antilock Traction Relay valves, in extremely cold conditions (at or below -18 degrees Celsius), internal ATR valve leakage can occur. This could cause unintended brake application, which could overheat the affected brakes and cause a fire. Also, in certain low traction conditions, unexpected brake application can cause a loss of vehicle control and a crash. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the cover assembly on the ATR valves.

Transport Canada lists: VHD 2008–2011 · VNL 2008–2011 · VNM 2008–2011 · VT 2008–2010

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the tire description may be incorrect on the certification label, which is a non-compliance to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 120 - Tire Selection and Rims. The description listed on the label may be for a tire with a lower rating that cannot support the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed, which may result in a potential tire failure.

What the dealer will do

Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
