The steering gear bracket used to mount the power steering gear to the chassis frame can crack and fail.
The plastic cowl cover was not sealed to the body at the base of the windshield. Water can leak and reach the windshield wiper motor, causing internal corrosion and failure of the wiper motor.
The wheelbearing locknut and cotter pin were not installed on the front axle hubs. The can cause a gradual increase in wheel shimmy.
On some vehicles, the sealing surfaces for a hydraulic brake hose on a front brake caliper were covered by paint residue. Brake fluid gradually dissolves the paint, opening a small path between the sealing surface and the gasket allowing…
One of the bulbs in each of the brake light lower outboard lamp assemblies may not have been properly wired, resulting in improper tail light illumination on brake application. This does not conform to the requirements of fmvss no 108…
These trailers are equipped with axle assemblies using hubs that affix the tire/wheel assembly to the hub with threaded studs and lug nuts. The lug stud bolts may have crystallized and may pop or twist off with little resistance.
The heat shield which prevents the throttle cable from coming into direct contact with the exhaust manifold was omitted. Also, there IS insufficient clearance between the throttle cable and the exhaust manifold. In either case, the heat…
The safety compliance certification label on these buses have incorrect inflation pressures for both front and rear tires. These buses do not conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 10, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other…
The fuel filler neck solder joint can develop cracks or pin hole leaks, which does not comply with fmvss no. 301, "fuel system integrity." the cracks and holes can allow fuel vapor and fuel leakage.
The brake hoses do not conform to the burst strength requirements of fmvss no. 106, "brake hoses."
The vehicles failed the lateral moving barrier impact test requirements of fmvss 301, "fuel system integrity." the fuel leakage from the gas tank exceeded the maximum allowable amount of spillage.
Paint on the wheel mounting surfaces can act as a shim between the wheel and the rotor/drum. As the vehicle IS driven, the wheel imbeds into the paint, loosening the lug nut and causing a loss of clamp load.
The original front brake discs and/or pads shields do not protect the assemblies from being coated with a layer of slush, road salt or water while driving in snow or heavy rain. This can result in a delay in braking action that increases…
The right rear and left axle shaft housing tubes were incorrectly welded and can fracture. Fracture of the rear axle shaft housing can result in separation of the affected wheel assembly and separation of the brake line.
The right rear and left axle shaft housing tubes were incorrectly welded and can fracture. Fracture of the rear axle shaft housing can result in separation of the affected wheel assembly and separation of the brake line.
The ribbon quilt child seat cover has been tested and the material burns faster than the rate established for child seat material. The child seats do not comply with fmvss no. 302, "flammability of interior materials."
A larger than specified screw was used to mount a power junction stud block to the passenger side of the engine tunnel. The larger screw did not allow adequate clearance between the screw head and the ring terminals which attach to the…
An "l" shaped bracket welded to the fuel tank suffers from fatigue failure of the strap weld to the fuel tank. When one strap fails, the tank will allow the tank to move will the vehicle IS in motion, causing increased fatigue to other…
Feed fuel hoses can harden and "set" over time, allowing a seepage of fuel at the connection between the hose and the engine fitting. The clamp used to hold the hose to the fitting IS unable to compensate for the hardening of the feed fuel…
A retaining clip that connects the transmission shift cable to the shift lever actuating rod can have insufficient retention pressure and may eventually come off after repeated shift lever operation. If this happens, the position of the…
A crack can develop in the fuel tank adjacent to a seam weld in the rear of the tank.
The fuel supply line can come in contact with a high voltage ignition lead in the engine compartment, causing deterioration of the fuel line over time. The deterioration of the fuel line could result in a fuel leak in the engine…
The steering lever fatigues and fails if proper adjustment IS not used on stops and relief valves for setting the maximum steering angle or correct torque IS not applied at the studs and nuts which assemble the steering lever.
Trucks were assembled with the left-hand lower control arm to frame rear nut tightened below the specified torque. Low torque on this nut may allow the attachment bolt to loosed and subsequently fatigue and break. The bolt breakage can…
Vehicles altered by pas, inc. Have compressed natural gas fuel tanks that can develop stress corrosion, which crack the e-glass wrapping. This stress corrosion cracking can lead to tank ruptures.
Safety belt anchorages do not comply with the strength requirements of fmvss no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
These steering wheels and include a universal joint which IS attached to steering shafts and secured by locking bolts. The universal joint's upper locking bolt was not sufficiently torqued during manufacture, and can eventually loosen.
The spare tire and wheel assembly IS attached to the motorhome with a chain and pulley mechanism. If inadequate tension IS not pre-loaded into this mechanism, road vibration can cause the friction clutch to slowly release or backdrive the…
One of the three specified trailer hitch fasteners per side IS missing which can cause the existing fasteners to loosen and fail.
System: electrical system; battery. vehicle description: medium duty school bus chassis equipped with hydraulic brakes, tilt hoods, 5.9L, 6.6L or 7.6L diesel engines or 6.1L or 7.0L gasoline engines and originally sold or currently…
