0 Iveco ITEC 7600

There have been several occurrences where the support bracket on the oil filler tube of the Caterpillar C12 engine in the International 7600 has failed causing part of the bracket to break away. Due to the proximity of the bracket to the steering shaft, there is a risk that the broken section of the bracket can foul with the steering shaft. The effect of the bracket fouling with the steering shaft can include loss of steering control as the steering shaft could jam.

In affected trucks, due to incorrect routing of the brake air tube connecting the air tank and brake valve, the air tube may interfere with the bracket which locates the throttle cable and the horn harness. As a result, during normal operation the air tube and bracket may rub together. In extreme cases there is the possibility the air tube may leak, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

It is possible that if an affected truck is driven at high speed for an extended period, a crack may develop in the propeller shaft centre bearing bracket/s. In such cases there is the remote possibility the bracket/s could fracture, causing the propeller shaft assembly to drop and resulting in sudden loss of drive. This is due to the bracket/s having insufficient strength if a vehicle is operated at high-speed.

1998-2004 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter, Heavy

Investigations have shown that moisture may enter the park brake chambers causing corrosion to form on the internal springs. In extreme cases, there is the remote possibility the spring could break and air leak from the brake chamber's diaphragms. This would result in the park brake unexpectedly being applied and locking-on during normal operation.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Heavy FP418

Investigations have shown that if an affected vehicle is subjected to abnormally frequent hill starts or quick take offs, the weld between the propeller shaft spine and pipe may crack in extreme cases. This is due to the weld lacking sufficient durability. If the truck continues to be driven in this condition there is the possibility the propeller shaft may break, preventing drive from being transmitted to the rear wheels.

It is possible that standard bolts rather than metric bolts may have been used in production to attach the brake caliper to the anchor plate at each wheel assembly. Incorrect bolts may not provide sufficient clamping force between the caliper and another plate, which could in turn lead to reduce brake effectiveness and increased risk of accident.

Buses operating in certain climatic conditions may experience dust entering the rear emergency door. Dust may accumulate around the emergency doors upper latch and lock mechanism. This could result in the emergency door of affected vehicles being difficult to open. To rectify this condition, the emergency door latch mechanism must be upgraded. Please note: ALL affected buses must be corrected, regardless of their operating conditions. Also, please be aware that Rosa buses manufactured from 16.12.05 onwards have already had their emergency door upper latches deleted during factory production.

On affected buses, a resistor in the ECUs fitted to the passenger entrance door (wing-type only), may not have sufficient protection against electric current surges. If a current surge should occur in the entrance door circuit, the resistors in the ECUs of affected buses may fail, resulting in their doors becoming inoperative in automatic mode.
