The generator exhaust system extends below the floor where it can be contacted by the road surface under certain conditions, causing damage to the exhaust system and under floor storage.
The brake fluid initially installed by the manufacturer IS contaminated.
The front suspension track bar has inadequate fatigue strength.
The anchor end of the safety belt buckle was incorrectly located, causing the upper torso restraint to be improperly positioned.
Significant wear can develop on the low and reverse clutch preventing the park pawl from engaging. This can prevent a "no park" condition to occur while the engine IS running, causing unintentional movement of the vehicle without operator…
A decal warning of the potential danger in using starting fluid to start the engine was omitted.
The factory installed cruise control linkage may not have been adequately lubricated, which can cause binding and the throttle will not return to the closed position when the accelerator pedal IS released.
The radiator cap pressure relief valve release pressure IS set too high. This can cause the coolant to reach temperatures that exceed the thermal design limits of some components of the coolant system. Should this occur, engine coolant can…
In some vehicles, the manufacturer's protective internal coating of the electronic crank angle sensor does not meet specifications, which can cause an open circuit at high operating temperatures. This can cause the vehicle to stall.
Air brake supply lines are reversed at the brake treadle valve. This can cause the modulated spring brake feature on the rear axle brake to be inoperable. In the event the rear brake supply reservoir were lost, this could result in loss of…
The manufacturer's certification label and/or the driver air bag advisory label may be missing from the vehicles, which does not conform to the requirements of 49 cfr 567.
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.
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…
