Electrical system:12v/24v/48v batteryApr 8, 2014 · NHTSA campaign 14V186000 · 34 vehicles

Problem: DUECO Inc. (DUECO), a manufacturer of utility vehicles, is recalling certain Dueco-modified model year 2009-2011 International 4300, 2010 International 4400, 2009 and 2011 International 7400, 2010 Freightliner M2, 2008-2009 GMC C5500, and 2011 Ford F-750 vehicles, equipped with Sure Power DC-DC converters containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.

Risk: Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.

Service brakes, air:supply:check valveMar 7, 2012 · NHTSA campaign 12V097000 · 352 vehicles

Problem: Ford is recalling certain model year 2011 f-650 and f-750 trucks, manufactured from december 3, 2010, through december 20, 2011, equipped with bendix atr-6 antilock traction relay valves. In extremely cold conditions, the bendix relay valves may potentially develop internal leakage. Internal leakage can lead to air pressure being delivered to affected primary or secondary brake causing continuous brake application.

Risk: Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the brakes to overheat and lead to a fire. Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the brakes may be applied without illuminating the brake lights, failing to give proper warning to other drivers.

Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install a bendix atr-6 traction relay valve kit. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on april 12, 2012. Owners may contact ford motor company at 1-800-392-3673.

Service brakes, air:antilock:control unit/moduleMay 3, 2011 · NHTSA campaign 11V264000 · 93 vehicles

Problem: Ford is recalling certain model year 2011 f-650 and f-750 trucks, equipped with air brakes and a trailer package or tractor package, for an incorrectly programmed abs module. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems (abs)."

Risk: An affected vehicle may not display a trailer abs fault in the cab of the truck warning the driver of an existing trailer abs failure. Such an abs failure may result in trailer brake lock-up, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will notify owners and replace the abs module free of charge. The safety recall began on may 18, 2011. Owners may contact ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.
