The brake pedals on some vehicles may foul on a body panel and not allow full braking power to be attained. This can cause poor vehicle braking and extended stopping distances.
The involved tires fail to conform to the high speed requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 109, "new pneumatic tires". The non-conformity exists because these tires developed separations in the shoulder area during…
The girth seam may develop a crack which can continue to grow until the tank fails, bringing the trailer to a stop.
Certain vehicles may have an incorrect gasket between the transmission and the transfer case. An incorrect gasket may interfere with the normal flow of lubricant. This condition could cause the transmission to become damaged and…
On certain vehicles, the length of thread engagement in the garrison power steering drag link IS less than that specified for this installation.
Vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems". An incorrect parking brake adjusting spring was installed on certain vehicles. This may cause interference when attempting to apply the…
Vehicles fail to meet federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection", in regard to barrier force level performance. The barrier performance forward exceeded the force level of 2400 pounds.
The driver"s seat belt may fail to meet federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies". Seat belts may not be sufficiently long to allow some drivers to fasten them when the seat IS in the forward and highest…
Use of an alternate aluminum alloy which has a lower strength in hot state, may allow cracking of brake pedal levers. Repeated braking or high brake pedal loading may result in complete fracture which would prevent application of the…
If the countershaft oil seal IS subjected to extreme oil pressure variation, the countershaft oil seal may be split, allowing oil to leak. Leaking oil can come into contact with the rear tire, which can result in traction reduction.
One or both beads on the involved tires may contain defects which deviate from specifications. If the tire IS inflated without proper safety precautions, the bead may break.
Vehicles may contain a spring brake piston rod with improperly heat treated rollers. This may cause the rollers to be too brittle, and therefore, subject to breaking. Roller failure can cause loss of effective parking and emergency brakes…
The crankshaft pulley could separate from the mounting plate due to a manufacturing defect. The water pump, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, and alternator could become inoperative. This would cause the engine to…
Vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selectin and rims". Tire placards may list incorrect information in regard to inflation pressures.
The flue outlet fittings installed on certain vehicles are too short to connect the insulating sleeve to the furnace outer case. This could allow high temperatures to concentrate on the trailer wall.
A plastic tube covering part of the metal brake line for the rear brake system may allow water to accumulate. This water will oxidize the brake line. Oxidation can cause deterioration or possible breakage of the brake line. This can result…
The rear seat belt stalk could become detached when in use due to improper heat processing during manufacture.
The fuel lines from the fuel tank may contact the metal edge of a hole in the bulkhead, which can result in damage to the fuel lines. If the fuel lines are damaged, fuel could leak inside the passenger compartment.
The rear lower frame supporting member may experience fatigue failure due to the substitution of inferior aluminum alloy. These cracks could travel the entire length of the buck plate.
Labels fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims". Incorrect information was provided on tire labels.
The parking brake valves may have been incorrectly piped. If the parking brake piping IS incorrectly routed, there IS no way to set the tractor parking brakes independently of the trailer parking brakes. This could cause the parking brakes…
The seat belt assembly may contain the wrong type of lock nut at the attachment to the driver"s seat. This can allow the lock nut and seat belt to separate under normal vehicle vibration or from force exerted by the wearer.
Surveillance testing showed that some tires would develop separation in the tread area when operated in an overloaded or underinflated condition.
The air brake lines may be routed too close to the exhaust muffler. Because the air brake lines are made of nylon material, heat from the exhaust muffler can weaken the brake line tubes, possibly causing them to rupture. Tube rupture could…
An incorrect steering gear flange may have been installed, which may slip and cause eventual loss of steering control.
Due to improper wiring, a 110 volt circuit IS not protected by a circuit breaker. If the unit IS connected to an unprotected power source, a short circuit can result.
