Risk and remedy
Remedy
The dealer will replace the front brake spiders on all affected vehicles used in snow plow dump and refuse hauling applications. This will be done at no charge.
The fuel separators on the involved vehicles may have thin walls due to a material thickness problem. The separators in these walls may crack and may allow fuel vapors or liquid fuel to leak into the engine under high pressure conditions.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
The dealer will install improved separators and relocate both the separator and fuel canister without charge.
The vapor separator in the fuel tank evaporative omission system lacks the capacity to prohibit liquid gasoline from passing to the canister under certain fuel expansion conditions. Gasoline would be discharged from the bottom of the canister onto the rear of engine, creating a fire hazard.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
Dealer will install an additional fuel separator to enlarge capacity, and add a discharge hose to the bottom of the fuel canister.
The deficiency exists in the front axle forged aluminum hubs. The deficiency which IS in the barrel section between the inner and outer bearing, may result in cracks which could lead to hub failure. When hub failure occurs, the separated hub IS retained on the axle spindle by the wheel bearing and adjusting nut.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
The dealer will replace the forged aluminum hubs with steel hubs, at no charge.
The stub ends of the axle housing may not have been properly manufactured to specifications. These stubs would be of inadequate strength and could fracture. Complete fracture would cause the front wheel, hub, and brake assembly to detach from the axle.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install the correct axle housing stubs.
