The clip located above the exhaust pipe where it enters the pre-muffler may melt from excessive heat caused by engine idling.
Welds that attach the radiator support can crack. Cracks may occur in the radiator support and the engine support at or near the welds that join them. It IS also possible for the engine to cause the engine support to sag.
The spring center bolt IS not the proper size or length. As a result, location and alignment of the spring to the front axle may not be correct. If the front spring clips loosen, the inadequate center bolt may result in spring to axle…
The door latches may be defective because a pawl spring was not manufactured to specifications. The pawl spring does not create proper tension on the pawl, (a part of the door latch mechanism). This constitutes a non-compliance with the…
Due to improper and inadequate welding practices, the fifth wheel on the involved vehicles IS defective. Frame mounted supports may have incomplete or poor quality welds. The welds could subsequently fail allowing separation of the tractor…
Due to improper operation of the secondary hood latch by owners using excessive force on the lever, the hood latch assembly may become damaged, resulting in separation of the secondary latch from the latch assembly.
A defect has been found in the assembly of some master brake cylinders. During assembly, internal parts of the master cylinder (piston cups) may have been interchanged.
The fuel hose may rub against a bracket in the area where it attaches to the fuel pump. As the hose chafes against the bracket, a leak can develop.
Improperly tightened bolt on steering shaft allows the connector on the shaft to slip. Steering movements will not be transmitted to the gear box.
In some 16 x 6 disc wheels a manufacturing defect may cause the wheels to crack in the drop center portion of the rim. If the crack were to occur on a wheel with a tube type tire mounted to it, and continued to go undetected, the wheel…
The involved vehicles were produced with hydraulic brake booster supply hoses that are located too close to the engine exhaust manifold and may chafe and develop heat damage during vehicle operation. Chafing and heat induced deterioration…
Vehicles have a primary and a reserve braking system. If the primary brake system booster fails, under some circumstances the reserve system may also malfunction and braking ability will be impaired.
Due to a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank filler pipe, the fuel cap may improperly seal the end of the filler pipe. This fails to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 301, "fuel system integrity." in…
The throttle linkage may bind because during normal operation, the throttle body case may interfere with the linkage. This interference could prevent the throttle from closing even though the driver has removed his foot from the…
The trailer stop lamp wire was mistakenly omitted from an installation diagram and may not be connected to its terminal. This does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated…
The turn signal mechanism in the steering column may break; the broken piece may become jammed in the steering column. While using the turn signal and turning in either direction, the operator may experience either increased steering…
Some door latches may not be secure due to defective springs. The springs may detach from the latch at any time. If the door of the vehicle IS slammed the spring may become dislodged, preventing the door from closing. Vibrations of the…
Fan blades may separate from the fan.
Certain vehicles may contain par-grip fittings on the brake lines which may have been improperly assembled.
The aluminum front axle hubs were manufactured with slightly undersized outer bearing bores. (Hubs are the structures upon which the wheels and their bearings rotate.) depending on the amount of stress imposed on the hub, a fatigue failure…
The tie rods are part of the steering linkage and transmit turning movements to the wheels. The bolts that fasten the tie rods to their adjusters may not be tight enough. This could allow the tie rod to loosen and detach itself from the…
The brake line may be positioned too close to an engine bracket. Normal engine movements may cause the bracket to rub against the brake line.
Vehicles were manufactured with rear axles and rear bearings that are inadequate for the load that IS applied on them. Carrying heavy loads and traveling on rough roadways may cause deterioration of the bearings. When the bearings become…
The dual air reservoirs of some trucks were equipped with carbon steel springs instead of stainless steel springs, as intended. The carbon steel spring IS more susceptible to rusting than the stainless steel spring. This rusting could…
The secondary throttle shaft may, with accumulated mileage, become contaminated and may stick in a partially open position while driving.
Auxiliary (tag) axle may develop cracks or break due to a manufacturing defect.
Some of the bolts attaching the brake assembly to the axle may fracture without warning. If one or more of these bolts fracture, it may result in rear brake assembly damage and brake ineffectiveness on the rear axle.
The sleeper compartment inside door latching mechanisms may cause the door to unlatch while the vehicle IS being driven.
The flexible hose connecting the fuel pump to the carburetor fuel line may separate from the fuel pump.
