An incorrect fluid was used as an assembly aid (lubrication) during installation of the piston seal in front brake calipers which were installed in 10.5" x 1" disc brake assemblies used on "a" series cars. The incorrect fluid attacks the…
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with front brake master cylinders which have fissures in the cylinder bodies. This would allow brake fluid leakage through the fissured section.
The headlamp relay may fail in such a way as to cause the headlamps to fail to switch from low to high beam (or vice versa) when the control switch IS operated. Also, the headlamps may shut off intermittently or completely.
The front suspension coil spring may have a larger than desired inside diameter of the lower coil where it rests on the spring seat. This could allow the spring to be forced over the lower spring seat due to suspension forces.
The plies which tie the beads into the tire may have been too narrow. This condition can result in a break in the area of the tire near the bead.
There may be contamination under the tread belts in the involved tires. Continued use may result in a separation between the belts and body of the tire in the tread area.
The incorrect fabric was used in the body of the involved tires. This can result in a flex break in the sidewall area of the tire.
Certification labels on certain trailers fail to reflect the gross vehicle weight rating as specified.
Defective bolts may have been used to mount the brake master cylinder to the cab firewall, resulting in bolt fracture. Fracture of all the master cylinder mounting bolts would allow separation of the master cylinder from its mounting.
A casting deficiency in the rear axle front spring hanger may result in cracks around the four bolts that hold the hanger to the frame. This may cause a failure of the spring hanger and separation of casting and frame. Continued operation…
The fuel filters on the involved vehicles fail to properly seal when attached to engines and may allow fuel leakage to occur.
The involved vehicles fail to meet federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems", in regard to incorrect plumbing in the low air pressure warning system. As a result, a low air pressure condition in the rear brake air…
A six inch piece of fuel hose could deteriorate through contact with gasoline, if improperly installed.
The involved vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems". The vehicles were equipped with 12 square inch brake chambers instead of the required 16 square inch brake chambers. Under test…
The longitudinal body bars at the rear control arm location may not have been adequately welded into the structure. Some of these bars may have been pulled down from the body during shipment with resulting damage to the brake or fuel…
Fuel hoses may be incorrectly positioned and contact the right front drive axle boot during vehicle operation. After a period of time, the rotating boot could wear a hole in the fuel hose, resulting in fule leakage.
There IS a potential for interference between the clutch control cable and brake pipe in the master cylinder. This can result in rubbing contact when the clutch pedal IS operated. Also, the brake pipe clearance to the transmission case may…
The involved vehicles fail to meet federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment", in regard to height mounting location requirements. The rear reflex reflectors exceed the maximum 60…
With the engine operating at high speed, the plastic engine fan finger guards may contact the engine fan and breakage of the guard may occur. This could cause fragments of the finger guard to scatter.
Because of an improper stamping procedure during manufacture, defects exist which prevent washers from rotating on spindle. If these washers are not replaced, an excessive clearance will result, leading to bearing failure. In extreme cases…
The "clamshell" seat construction fails to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, "school bus seating and crash protection". The seats are not soft enough to provide the required surface contact.
On some vehicles, the lower steering drive shaft rubs against the steering boot retainer spring. This chafing can wear a groove into the drive shaft which can eventually lead to a separation of the tube.
The metal stiffener at the rear of the splash shield may become bent during servicing or by abuse. This can allow the splash shield and stiffener or one of its attaching bolts to rub against and cut the steering shaft.
An improper pinch bolt and nut may have been used in the clamping of the steering shaft to the steering gear input shaft. Due to clamping force loads applied at the bolt, the nut could yield, resulting in looseness of the input shaft…
The antilock system may swell due to exposure of the internal piston to high concentrations of fluid contaminants. This may cause the piston to stick in the valve, which fails to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121…
The telescopic hoist can pull apart.
Incorrect bolts may have been used to mount the master cylinder to the brake booster unit. The bolts could break and allow separation of the master cylinder from its mounting.
There IS a possibility that either the suspension system, the steering system, or the floor pan where the seats are attached may separate from the undercarriage. This IS due to an advanced state of corrosion in certain areas of the…
Operation of the vehicle in a manner which produces hard bottoming out of the front suspension may cause deformation of the left engine mount support structure and allow the engine mount bracket to contact the steering pitman arm or…
Certain air brake anti-lock modulators could malfunction during operation of the anti-lock system. A nylon piston within the modulator air valve system can swell from exposure to system contaminants. Continued exposure may cause the piston…
