Some vehicles contain lenses that fade from amber to clear after exposure to sunlight for prolonged periods of time. This fading does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated…
The involved tires were produced with wrinkled and buckled fabric endings in the bead turnup of the tire. This abnormality can eventually cause cracking in this area.
Certain transmissions were assembled with improperly machined forward clutch housings. The resulting incorrect ball check valve seat angles in the pressure exhaust ports may prevent complete oil evacuation from the piston apply area.
On certain vehicles, the pinch bolt and nut used to attach the intermediate steeriing shaft to the steering column were omitted during assembly. This could result in separation of the steering shaft from the steering column.
Certain vehicles may have been assembled without the specified exhaust system heat shields. The absence of these shields could cause high floor pan temperatures and smoldering of the floor coverings under certain driving or engine…
Cracks may develop in the truck"s rear towing crossmember which supports the trailer hitch and to which the safety cables are attached. Should these cracks progress to the point of complete separation, the crossmember and the trailer could…
The brake fluid lines which run to and from the frame mounted power assist unit may be incorrectly routed resulting in the lines rubbing or chafing on a fender splash shield bracket.
Vehicles may have mounting studs which were not seated flush with the rotor face and lug nuts that may not be sufficient to seat those studs. Wheel loosening can result and continued operation could allow the wheel to disengage from the…
The lock nut may not have been tightened enough on the steering gear box worm gear bearing and adjuster. Consequently, the worm gear adjuster may become loose due to excessive pressure from hard repeated steering.
Tires may develop tread separation during normal vehicle operation.
The front rail extension may experience fatigue cracking near the area where the power steering gear attaches to the frame. If the crack progresses through most or all of the rail section, steering system free play accompanied by metallic…
Vehicle certification labels were mislocated on the involved vehicles. The labels are located inside the dispatch box lid where they are not easily visible.
The involved tires do not comply with the endurance requirement of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 119, "new pneumatic tires for vehicles other than passenger cars". Tread and belt components may separate from the rubber compound…
The engine box on some units may have been incorrectly manufactured, causing it to protrude past the toe board flange. This protrusion could hinder the movement of the driver"s right foot from the accelerator pedal to the brake.
The ignition amplifier may contact and score the fuel filter. Over a period of time, scoring of the filter can cause fuel leakage.
The right and left rear wheel bearings may have been damaged during assembly. A damaged bearing could result in axle and wheel disengagement from the vehicle while in motion.
The involved tires do not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 119, "new pneumatic tires for vehicles other than passenger cars". These tires run for less than the prescribed number of hours without failure when tested.
The involved tires do not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 109, "new pneumatic tires". When tested, tires ran for less than the prescribed 34 hours without failure, under stepped-up loads on a test wheel. Tires may…
The output shaft of the drive train transfer box may have been constructed of incorrectly specified steel. Under certain circumstances the shaft may break free at the transfer case end.
Operation under extreme conditions of high humidity, salt and dirt can cause rusting of the splined section of the upper steering shaft. This causes increased stresses between the steering column universal joint connection and the input…
On certain motorcycles, the head of the rear wheel sprocket mounting bolt could break off and eventually wedge itself between the aluminum chain housing and the sprocket. This defect IS due to a manufacturing process which may cause the…
Certain vehicles may fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity". In the event of a collision from the rear, the fuel filler tube may be cut by contacting the frame rear crossmember.
A high stress crack may exist on the left-hand frame rail on the forward control chassis, in the region of the front left-hand hanger. In addition, the key between the steering gear box output shaft and the universal joint may be loose.
During testing of the fire apparatus, extreme heat generated from the right side engine exhaust manifold, resulted in damage to the brake hose at the frame fitting. This could cause a leak in the front axle hydraulic brake hose.
A misrouting of the positive battery cable may exist. As a result, the positive battery cable insulation could be damaged from exhaust manifold heat. The wire in the cable may then contact and damage the metal brake tube.
The pedal push rod assemblies on the involved vehicles are subject to extreme wear after extended use. This wear could cause the brake push rod to disengage from the brake booster. The wear results from excessive return pressure on the…
