The rear brake free travel adjusting bolt and nut installed during vehicle assembly may have been incorrectly tightened. This could cause the brake pedal to become jammed during brake operation.
The involved cycles were produced with a rear brake master cylinder push rod which has insufficient contact area with the rear brake master cylinder piston. This could result in the rod penetrating the piston during extremely high pedal…
The involved buses fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection". The safety barriers failed to exhibit the proper impact absorbing qualities when tested for…
The engine oil pressure switch may cause a random internal electrical short which could result in the engine starting by itself when the ignition switch IS turned to the "on" position.
The involved vehicles were built with an accelerator pedal having an extension, or rubber flap, at the bottom of the pedal. This pedal flap could be inadvertently displaced by a floor covering and wedged under the accelerator pedal in a…
When preparing for additional sleeping space, the dinette table IS lowered to the level of the dinette seats. It then becomes possible for the sleeping gear to come into contact with the camper furnace grill.
The threaded insert for the oil filter retaining bolt may not be strong enough to withstand the stress caused by temperature and pressure, particularly in the event that the oil filter bolt has been overtightened.
The innerbeaded edge of the rear fender does not provide sufficient tire clearance when the rear suspension IS fully depressed.
Some vehicles were produced with brake control valves and brake tubes intended for use in vehicles without trailer tow packages.
Some of these vehicles were produced with misindexed front brake hoses which could contact a tire or wheel in a full-turn condition. Chafing and wear to the brake hose could result in loss of brake fluid and front wheel braking capability.
The front brake hose routing may allow interference between the hoses and the tire and wheel assemblies during extreme turning angles.
Lower control arms may fracture in the area adjacent to the lower ball joint, resulting in separation of the ball joint from the arm.
The invovled vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger vehicles". The front suspension system IS not strong enough to properly support the…
The internal muffler pressure can create a split in the seam if the muffler IS in a deteriorated condition. If this condition exists, the exhaust gas escaping from the split seam can cause excessive heating of a small area of the rear…
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.
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 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…
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.
