900 of 25,867 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 105 - HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS. (WIRING DOES NOT PERMIT THE CHECK OF THE BRAKE LAMP FUNCTION WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS IN A POSITION BETWEEN "ON" AND "START").
No risk description available.
A DIODE WILL BE ADDED TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH WILL PERMIT THE LAMP CHECK.
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 135 – Light Vehicle Brake Systems. The brake fluid level sensor may not have been connected during the manufacturing process. In the event that the brake fluid level sensor wire harness is not connected and the brake fluid were to fall below the specified level without illuminating the warning indicator, the vehicle braking performance could be affected, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and connect the brake level fluid sensor as necessary.
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 126 - Electronic Stability Control Systems. Some brake actuator pumps may have been assembled with an O-ring that is damaged in such a way that the brake fluid pressure may not be properly controlled during Anti-Lock Braking (ABS), Traction Control (TRAC), and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system activation(s), which fails to meet the requirements of the standard. This could result in a loss of vehicle stability control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the serial number of the brake actuator and, if necessary, replace the brake actuator assembly.
On certain motorcycles with Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS), there may be air within the brake system. This could cause a soft brake lever/pedal feel, and over time could lead to the a reduction in brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will bleed the front and rear ABS brake system.
On certain S10, S15, T10 and T15, the vacuum hose may detach from the brake booster check valve as a result of engine backfire. This would result in increased engine idle and loss of brake power assist after depletion of the booster vacuum reserve. A significant increase in brake pedal pressure experienced by the driver combined with increased engine rpm when minimal stopping distances are required could result in a vehicle crash.
No risk description available.
A clamp will be installed on the power brake booster hose at the brake booster check valve end.
On certain vehicles, the lower engine oil cooler hose may contact the front left-hand brake pipe. Over time, the oil cooler hose could wear a hole in the brake pipe causing loss of front brake performance and increased stopping distances. This could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install an oil cooler hose bracket to prevent the oil cooler hose from contacting the brake pipe. Brake pipe will be inspected for wear and, if required, the brake pipe will be replaced.
On certain motorcycles, the front brake hose holder may be incorrect. As a result, the front brake hose could move out of place and be damaged by contact with the front fork. This could cause a brake fluid leak and result in reduced brake performance.
Reduced brake performance can cause a loss of control and create the risk of a crash.
Yamaha will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to have the front brake hose holder replaced. Yamaha advises you not to drive your motorcycle until the recall repairs have been completed.
THE REAR WHEEL BRAKE SHOE LININGS COULD SEPARATE FROM THE BRAKE SHOES BECAUSE OF FAILURE OF THE BONDING ADHESIVE. SEPARATED BRAKE SHOE LININGS COULD CAUSE THE REAR WHEEL TO STOP SUDDENLY CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL. 3A OR 4A 31727H6 TO 50376H6
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
ON VEHICLES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE BLADES IN THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP COULD PREMATURELY WEAR, RESULTING IN REDUCED BRAKE ASSIST PRESSURE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS COULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE AND A POSSIBLE CRASH.
No risk description available.
BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER VALVE WILL BE REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM HOSE MAY BE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM NIPPLE. A DISCONNECTED VACUUM HOSE CAN CAUSE AN INCREASE IN ENGINE IDLE SPEED AND LOSS OF POWER ASSIST DURING BRAKE APPLICATION WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
No risk description available.
DEALERS WILL ENSURE THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM HOSE CONNECTION IS FULLY SEATED AND CLAMPED TO THE VACUUM CHECK VALVE NIPPLE AT THE BRAKE BOOSTER.
Due to inappropriate brake pipe layout certain vehicles fail to meet the required partial failure stopping distance required by C.M.V.S.S. 135.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the proportioning valve, brake pipes, and hardware.
Certain motorcycles may have an incorrectly routed front Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) sensor cable. If certain service procedures are performed, for example, a front tire change which involves removal of the front left brake caliper, it is possible for the ABS sensor cable to be routed incorrectly when the caliper is reinstalled. If this happens, the sensor cable can come into contact with, and rub/chafe against, the front brake disk. Over time, if the chafing becomes severe, it is possible to lose the ABS function.
No risk description available.
Dealers will attach additional retaining clips to the ABS sensor cable.
On certain vehicles, the right front brake line attachment to the ABS hydraulic control unit (HCU) may separate from the HCU. This may be due to an incorrect seat angle on the flare nut that is part of the brake line assembly. If this occurs, it could result in a loss of brake pressure to the front wheels and increased stopping distances which could in turn result in a vehicle crash.
No risk description available.
The flare nut on the brake line will be replaced with the correct nut.
On certain motorcycles, a brake fluid leak could develop at the connection point of the rear brake pipe to the rear brake line IABS adapter, which could result in rear brake system failure.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the adapter for the Integral Anti-Lock Brake system.
Certain vehicles were built with a European-specification brake fluid reservoir cap instead of the correct North American cap. Canadian regulations require specific information to be provided on the brake fluid cap.
This small error is unlikely to affect safety.
This is not a recall. The company will install the correct brake fluid reservoir cap on all new (unsold) vehicles.
Certain vehicles equipped with auto-apply park brakes may exhibit an unintended brake apply at speed due to a solenoid coil failure or some may exhibit a failure to release and/or be slow to apply or release due to water contamination.
No risk description available.
Dealers will seal the joint between the park brake reservoir and the pump assembly with Room-Temperature-Vulcanizing (RTV) sealant or inspect and replace any 10 volt park solenoids with a 12 volt solenoid.
Certain vehicles may have been assembled with a smaller brake fluid reservoir designed for use on the 2500 model. This smaller reservoir does not match Sprinter 3500 certification documentation.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the brake fluid reservoir.
On certain vehicles, the ABS ECU misinterprets certain signals from wheel ends which can result in the temporary loss of braking capability on one or more wheel positions for several seconds. This response results from either an ABS cable that has chafed through the insulation and contacted a rotating part or a misaligned tone ring that has been damaged by contacting other components.
No risk description available.
ABS ECU will be replaced with a new ECU with upgraded software capable of detecting and properly responding to erroneous signals.
On certain Ram 1500 4x4 pickup trucks the rear axle flange weld to the axle tube could fatigue and allow the brake caliper assembly to rotate. During rotation, the brake line could separate from the caliper resulting in a brake fluid loss in the rear brake hydraulic system potentially resulting in a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install rear brake caliper reinforcement collars on the rear axle tube assemblies.
VEHICLES WITH 2.1 LITRE TURBO DIESEL ENGINES HAVE BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM TANKS WHICH MAY DEVELOP LEAKS DUE TO BUMPER IMPACT. SUCH LEAKAGE CAN CAUSE LOSS OF POWER ASSIST AND AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
No risk description available.
BRAKE VACUUM TANKS WHICH ARE MORE CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING BUMPER IMPACT WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
