FL871 - Hydraulic Caliper Tie Bar May Be Loose - 2022 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 School Buses

oemdtc January 7, 2021 No Comments

December 21, 2020 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V806000

Hydraulic Caliper Tie Bar May Be Loose

A dangling tie bar could come in contact with the rotating wheel-end components or damage may occur from the brake parts flexing. Either scenario may increase the risk of a crash.

 

NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V806

Manufacturer Daimler Trucks North America, LLC

Components SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Potential Number of Units Affected 278

 

Summary

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2022 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses. The hydraulic caliper tie bar support fasteners on the steer axles may not have been properly tightened or the tie bar may have not been installed in some cases.

 

Remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect both steer axle wheel-ends to make sure that the four tie bar mounting fasteners are properly tightened. If the required tie bar is missing, the caliper anchor mounts and functionality (brake pad slide pins and pad movement) will be inspected before installing a tie bar. All repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 18, 2021. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-871.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

The 73mm Bosch hydraulic caliper tie bar support fasteners on steer axles may be under torqued and/or finger loose or the tie bar may have not been installed in some cases
If a noncompliance, provide the applicable FMVSS: NA
⃝ Check if this recall only affects products in certain geographic regions.

Involved Components
Component Name: Caliper Tie Bar
Component Description: Fastener
Component Part Number: BW 02040J2120
Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination
Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision: In November of 2020, DTNA found a single failure where the tie bar fasteners where determined to be finger loose. DTNA and the axle assembly supplier immediately performed inspections at the plants. The investigation found 55 units with fasteners under torqued and two trucks in which the tie bar had not been installed during assembly but no additional finger loose fasteners. Over the course of December 2020, DTNA engaged the axle assembly supplier to determine a population. Based on the best available information currently, DTNA has developed the population cited in this DIR/DIN; we will continue to work to define the population. December 2020, with an abundance of caution, DTNA reasonably decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.
Identify the Remedy
Describe the defect/noncompliance remedy program, including the manufacture’s plan for reimbursement.
Inspection of both steer axle wheel-ends will require the removal of the tire & wheel assembly. The 4 tie bar mounting fasteners are to torqued to 40-50 ft-lbs. If the required tie bar is missing inspection of the caliper anchor mounts and functionality (brake pad slide pins and pad movement) is required before installing a tie bar. Repairs will be performed by Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities. Customer notification will be done by first class mail using Daimler Trucks North America records to determine the customers affected. Details of the reimbursement plan will be included in the owner’s notification letter.
