Summary Description: Front brake hose failure
Summary
On April 29, 2015, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE15-017 to investigate reports of low-mileage failures of front brake jounce hoses in model year (MY) 2015 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles operated as training vehicles by the City of Sacramento, California (ODI VOQ No. 10705832). To date, the Sacramento police fleet has reported a total of 7 front hose failures in 5 different Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles used for its Emergency Vehicle Operation Course (EVOC) training. Most of the failures occurred within the first few miles of service on a closed course used for the EVOC program, which includes evasive accident avoidance and pursuit maneuver training. The hose assemblies either leaked at, or pulled completely free from, the caliper-end attachment where the hose is crimped to the steel end fitting. Most of the failures resulted in a sudden loss of braking performance that caused the vehicle to run off the intended course. None of the failures resulted in any crashes, injuries or property damage.The subject MY 2015 hose assemblies are similar in design to hoses used on MY 2013 through 2014 Explorer Police Interceptor and civilian vehicles. The 5 vehicles used by Sacramento EVOC have all been repaired using MY 2016 front hose assemblies that have been changed to incorporate a short steel tube attached to the caliper end banjo block. No failures have been experienced by the Sacramento fleet to date in the other 37 MY 2014-2015 Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles (2 MY 2014 and 35 MY 2015) used by the fleet in regular law enforcement duty cycles unrelated to the EVOC training. In its response to ODI's information request letter for PE15-017, Ford provided information about 2 additional failures reported by other fleets, including 1 involving a Sacramento Regional Transit vehicle that occurred while being driven on the street.Based on its analysis of failed parts returned from the Sacramento fleet and the fleet's EVOC training duty cycle, Ford attributes the Sacramento fleet hose failures to excessive temperatures produced during hot-soak portions of the EVOC training duty cycle (when the vehicles are stationary after hard braking exercises, with no cooling air flow through the brake rotor vents and across the other brake components). During testing conducted to replicate the EVOC duty cycle, Ford measured temperatures at the subject crimp fittings that exceeded the design limits of the brake hose material after several successive training intervals and hot soaks. Ford has provided the Sacramento fleet with modified replacement hose assemblies for all of its MY 2014-15 Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles. The replacement hose assemblies were developed for use in MY 2016 Explorer vehicles and were modified slightly to accommodate the addition of a ride height sensor in those vehicles. The revised assemblies have an additional length of brake pipe between the caliper end connection and the subject crimp ferrule that results in additional heat dissipation and makes the assemblies more robust to the severe thermal effects experienced during the EVOC testing (the hose material is the same in both assemblies). Ford believes that the excessive temperatures experienced at the crimp fitting in the subject vehicles are unique to the EVOC duty cycle, have not been observed in the standard on-road severe duty cycle testing performed by Ford and police fleets who routinely conduct such testing and are not likely to occur in service usage for on-road Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles.This preliminary evaluation is closed, an Engineering Analysis (EA15-005) has been opened to conduct testing and further

Component Description: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Summary Description: Inconsistent Throttle Control
Summary
This PE was opened after NHTSA received 10 owner complaints alleging vehicle control was compromised due to inconsistent throttle control in MY 2012-14 Honda GL1800 motorcycles.Typically during the first five minutes of operation (cold engine), riders would experience a pronounced engine stumble when operating the bike at low speeds and minimal throttle applications.Riders were concerned that this scenario would result in a crash if the stumble were to occur while making a sharp turn at low speed.Since opening this investigation we discussed the issue with Honda motorcycle dealers and service personnel and subject vehicle owners / complainants.We test rode one complaint GL1800 and monitored web forum activity.Based on the information gathered, the issue of low speed engine stumble in these motorcycles does not appear to jeopardize safety.The absence of crashes in a population of vehicles with up to 4 years in service indicates riders are able to instinctively correct for any control issue that may accrue from a low speed cold engine stumble.In the absence of a actionable defect trend, we are closing this PE.We continue to monitor complaints and other information sources for any data that may alter this finding.If such information is found, we will respond accordingly.The ODI reports cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID using the following complaint identification numbers: 10785837,10783109,10781852,10760402,10670092,10662128,10653041,10643482,10641998,10639635,10639538,10639483,10633401,10633110,10632624,10632569,10631910,10621114,10577493,10572733,10550566,10549745,10548741,10548568,10546436,10532817,10532620,10532347,10532553,10532249,10531538,10523914,10523890,10523515,10523017,10512486

Recall Campaign: 15V474
Summary Description: Inconsistent Throttle Response
Summary
This investigation was opened on April 20, 2015 to investigate reports of inconsistent throttle control on all MY 2015 HD XG750 and XG500 motorcycles.At the time, ODI had 14 consumer complaints and no crashes reported.At the time of closing this investigation ODI has 51 reports (6 of which allege a crash occurred). In addition to requesting information from Harley-Davidson (HD), ODI interviewed complainants and dealer service/parts department personnel.ODI staff also test rode one of the crash bikes to experience the alleged condition first-hand.At low fuel levels (typically below .8 gallon), the engine may stumble and/or stall when fuel flow from the pump to engine is interrupted.This is due to a poor seal at the fuel pump inlet. Ultimately, HD decided to recall (15V-474) the affected motorcycles (MY 2015 XG500 and XG750 produced 1-20-14 through 6-24-15) to install a new fuel pump assembly.With the recall, our information request is moot and this PE is closed.

Summary Description: Convertible Top Back Glass Separation
Summary
On June 14, 2014, a consumer petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to open a defect investigation into separation of convertible top back glass in model year 2005 Crossfire Roadster vehicles.In assessing the petitioner's request, NHTSA reviewed information from the petitioner, information from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US, LLC, relevant reports in the NHTSA complaint database received from June 23, 2008 through July 8, 2015, and interviews with complainants.NHTSA's review indicates that separation of the back glass occurs gradually and the glass remains intact and inside the top after the failure. Considering agency priorities and agency resources, and the likelihood that further investigation would not result in a defect finding, NHTSA has concluded that further investigation of petitioner's concerns is not warranted.The agency has denied the petition.The official petition denial, as published in the Federal Register, is available in the document file for this petition.The ODI reports cited above can be viewed at http://WWW-Odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/searchsafetyissues under the following ID numbers:Model Year 2005: 10232068, 10244032, 10265936, 10272683, 10274198, 10275338, 10280257, 10285544, 10286600, 10290809, 10292215, 10295419, 10297744, 10304575, 10317910, 10318467, 10327077, 10327241, 10327522, 10330552, 10330824, 10331549, 10331660, 10332687, 10335152, 10335647, 10335784, 10335894, 10336569, 10339952, 10340666, 10341739, 10341764, 10341994, 10342121, 10344548, 10346187, 10346634, 10348093, 10348172, 10349739, 10351200, 10354191, 10355983, 10357042, 10358728, 10364408, 10366780, 10392381, 10392484, 10392512, 10395335, 10397367, 10397469, 10400172, 10399411, 10400000, 10400014, 10401397, 10405983, 10407305, 10407381, 10407446, 10408774, 10409108, 10410089, 10411393, 10410982, 10412397, 10413857, 10416839, 10417044, 10421018, 10422255, 10422391, 10423399, 10422677, 10425474, 10426456, 10426457, 10426482, 10426726, 10426835, 10426955, 10427552, 10427650, 10429300, 10430266, 10430370, 10433542, 10435621, 10437683, 10438574, 10443341, 10453539, 10454455, 10454522, 10458240, 10459366, 10459592, 10460944, 10461484, 10462854, 10463486, 10464039, 10464046, 10464438, 10464712, 10465793, 10466738, 10466859, 10466943, 10467946, 10468273, 10468478, 10469925, 10472038, 10475880, 10478204, 10479632, 10481176, 10482219, 10482538, 10485784, 10494614, 10494838, 10500114, 10505458, 10508731, 10509485, 10510253, 10512594, 10513706, 10566443, 10515305, 10520531, 10520677, 10521494, 10521505, 10523127, 10524704, 10524980, 10525342, 10525645, 10525900, 10531903, 10533246, 10533383, 10536563, 10536583, 10536782, 10537291, 10538413, 10542030, 10542479, 10542814, 10542837, 10544853, 10546359, 10546526, 10557174, 10561494, 10563449, 10575001, 10579567, 10582881, 10584775, 10592131, 10593534, 10595534, 10606523, 10609043, 10609817, 10609848, 10610188, 10617272, 10618234, 10619296, 10620991, 10621858, 10628119, 10630892, 10638716, 10639126, 10639441, 10654185, 10659508, 10683893, 10692972, 10712417, 10712420, 10714226, 10716860, 10721106, 10721516, 10722596, 10722634, 10722916, 10724901, 10726429, 10726714, 10726989, 10730311, 10730525, 10730598, 10731005, 10731466, 10731539, 10731085, 10732585, 10732661Other Model Years: 10336469, 10343431, 10413664, 10420136, 10432247, 10432571, 10444772, 10459104, 10460799, 10461493, 10468185, 10468432, 10468785, 10473168, 10475908, 10479916, 10508633, 10511410, 10512807, 10513128, 10522964, 10523076, 10524890, 10525892, 10532177, 10534812, 10541904, 10541906, 10565470, 10595975, 10597246, 10604781, 10606865, 10608533, 10610546, 10610811, 10611167, 10614809, 10616375, 10
