Fuel leaks could develop in either of two connections in a fuel supply line. One connection under the vehicle may have been damaged or improperly installed. The other suspect part IS in the engine compartment and contains a pressure relief…
During a collision, certain interior panels could separate because they have been inadequately fastened. Interior ceiling and body panel joints may not comply with strength requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 221, "school…
On the involved vehicles the floorboard opening and the steering column seal bracket do not have sufficient clearance to allow the shaft to turn freely. This causes the pinch bolt to bind or lock against the seal bracket.
Cooling fan blades may crack and separate because they cannot withstand stress from vibrations that occur during normal engine operation.
The seat frames used were not manufactured according to specifications. The tubing may weaken and bend in an accident, if impacted from the rear. Seats failed to meet the impact energy requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard…
Throttle may not return to idle because of interference between the accelerator pedal and the floor carpet. The accelerator pedal rod extends below the base of the foot pad and contacts the floor carpeting when pedal IS pushed all the way…
Vehicles may have been assembled without the roof marker lamps required for trucks of 80 or more inches overall width. Vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated…

The fuel switch on the dual fuel control has been wired incorrectly. The switch was wired in such a way that the driver could be pumping propane to the carburetor.
In certain types of collisions, the door latches may release and the door could open. The door latch system fails to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard 206, "door locks and door retention components".
The 3/4 inch diameter fasteners which join the rear axle brake drum to the wheels were not tightened properly. These fasteners may loosen during vehicle operation, causing damage to the drum and brakes of the wheel.
The parking gear may not engage, even though the gear shift lever IS placed in the "park" position. This occurs if the linkage inside the transmission that actuates the park gear was improperly manufactured. A pin that retains components…
The carburetor fuel plug may come out and fuel could leak from the carburetor.
The defect involves the 25 amp headlight fuse holder. There may be excessive electrical resistance caused by the looseness of the rivet holding the fuse holder to the terminal plate. Excess resistance may cause the soldered end of the fuse…
The flexible blade engine cooling fan blades may crack and break off. This may be caused by high blade stresses that can result from vibration during vehicle operation.
Front axle air brake chamber IS attached with a clamp and bolt assembly that may not have been positioned correctly, and may chafe against the front brake hose. Chafing could result in an air leak and loss of air to the front brakes.
The u shaped bolts that connect the springs and spring spacers to the front axle may not have been installed properly. This condition could allow the axle to shift and could degrade the steering characteristics of the vehicle.
Steering components may interfere with each other and could lead to separation of steering linkage. The draglink, a component in the steering linkage that transmits turning movements to the wheels, may have a clamp on the axle end which…
The rear brakes may not release as quickly as specifications require. Certain trucks were equipped with an incorrect size air brake line installed between the rear brake relay valve and the axle tee fitting. The condition IS not in…
The manufacturer suspects that the hardware that attaches the seat tracks (the strips that the seat slides on) to the floor may become loose or may fail to hold the seat in place during a collision. This condition IS due to the…
