The wheel mounting nuts installed may be incorrect due to a supplier error in mixing standard thread nuts with specified metric thread nuts prior to plant shipment. As a result, the nut threads may strip when tightened to the specified…
Some of the involved vehicles were built with rear suspension components that could be overloaded with the maximum number of passengers.
On the involved vehicles the electrical wiring harness leading to the starter and back-up light switch may have been improperly routed. The harness may chafe against the front engine shrouding eventually resulting in insulation damage…
The involved vehicles fail to comply to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems". Due to gumming during ocean shipment, some throttles may fail to fully return to the idle position when the accelerator…
Due to an improperly seated bushing in the carburetor secondary barrel body, a portion of the spiral return spring of the throttle plate opener may restrict the free return of the secondary barrel throttle plate.
The front brake line and brake hose assembly may have been improperly routed. The brake hose could then rub against the wheel at certain wheel positions during vehicle operation. This will result in brake hose wear and brake fluid loss.
The throttle linkage control spring may not close rapidly when the accelerator pedal IS released. If the throttle does not close as rapidly as expected, the vehicle will not decelerate properly. This fails to comply with federal motor…
Fuel tank could develop corrosion due to a mixture of road salt and water in the luggage compartment. The corrosion could create a small hole in the tank and allow the gasoline to seep into the spare tire well.
The air supply lines from the primary and secondary air tanks to the air brake application (foot) valve may have been installed in reverse. In the event of air loss failure in the primary system, total loss of service brakes could occur.
The fuel line may have been installed in a way such that the axle could contact the line and eventually cause the line to rupture, allowing fuel to leak to the ground.
The cam chain guide bolt may loosen due to the presence of a rubber coating on the surface of the guide in the area where the bolt seats. If the bolt becomes loose, the engine will develop a ticking noise. Continued vehicle operation with…
Ball joints installed on the involved vehicles as replacement parts may have been incorrectly heat-treated during manufacture. These replacement ball joints may break without prior warning, causing the suspension to collapse.
The involved vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "seating systems". The required underbody seat reinforcements may have been omitted during assembly. Without the reinforcements, the seat assemblies…
The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems", in that due to the location of the lower throttle return spring and the tension in both throttle springs, the vehicle may…
The involved vehicles were equipped with automatic transmissions in which the parking pawl was not heat-treated. During normal vehicle operation, a parking pawl that has not been heat-treated could become deformed or worn to the point that…
The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus window retention and release". Vehicles lack the proper number of emergency exits.
The involved vehicles may have been assembled with an incorrectly manufactured brake master cylinder tilting valve. These defective tilting valves may develop internal leakage with many brake applications and cause hydraulic brake pressure…
The rear suspension springs may interfere with the l.p. Gas line and cause the line to break.
The transmissions have been assembled with a higher than normal return spring load on the transmission locking pawl. When the park position IS selected with the transmission shift lever, the parking pawl may not engage.
The brackets used to mount the auxiliary fuel tank were inadequately welded to the chassis frame rails.
The rear mounting bracket on the auxiliary gas tank was welded instead of bolted. The bracket could fail without warning, resulting in a gasoline leak.
The fuel system may not comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity". In the event of a vehicle collision from the rear, excessive fuel spillage may occur.
Inadequate welds on the bed side panel of the long beds, may allow disconnection of the fuel filler pipe from the fuel tank in the event of a rear collision. Such a disconnection could cause fuel leakage to occur. This constitutes a…
A gasket was mistakenly placed between the brake master cylinder and the power boost which prevented the two parts from fitting together properly. Damage may have resulted to the mounting ears of the master cylinder and the hydro-boost.…
The involved vehicles contain split front bench seats that may not have the correct outboard portions of the left and right front seat belts installed. This condition will not allow the seat belts to be buckled and therefore constitutes a…
The involved engine fan assemblies may be of inadequate durability. Consequently, the fan spider may wear over a peroid of time and break at the hub without warning, while the engine IS running.
The steering wheel may have been assembled with steering wheel retention fasteners that were not sufficiently tightened. The steering wheel could become loose and separate from the steering wheel hub.
The clamp bolts on the adjuster tube that fastens the connecting rod to the pitman arm end assembly may be loose. These loose bolts could cause shifting of the steering wheel position, relative to the straight-ahead-front wheel position…
Under certain driving conditions, including extended severe braking, the wheel bearing area may encounter temperatures that can cause the grease to migrate out of the bearing area. This will reduce the amount of lubrication available to…
The brake shoe welds on the rear brake assemblies could fail at the point where the weld joins the brake shoe table. A broken weld could result in loss of braking capability.
