THE PUSHROD MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY MOUNTED TO THE LOWER OF TWO HOLES IN THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. INCORRECT MOUNTING CAN CAUSE SIDELOAD FORCES TO BE APPLIED TO THE PUSHROD, CAUSING THE PUSHROD TO FRACTURE.
FixVEHICLE WILL BE INSPECTED FOR CORRECT (UPPER HOLE) PUSHROD MOUNTING. MISMOUNTED PUSHRODS WILL BE REPLACED AND CORRECTLY MOUNTED. THE LOWER HOLE WILL BE BLOCKED TO PREVENT FUTURE MISTAKES, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
THE OPENING FOR THE WINDSHIELD IN THE CAB MAY BE TOO LARGE TO PERMIT PROPER RETENTION OR SEALING OF THE WINDSHIELD.
FixDEALER WILL INSTALL UPPER AND LOWER METAL RETAINING BRACKETS TO HOLD WINDSHIELD IN POSITION, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
DEFECTIVE BOLTS MAY HAVE BEEN USED TO MOUNT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE CAB FIREWALL, RESULTING IN BOLT FRACTURE. FRACTURE OF ALL THE MASTER CYLINDER MOUNTING BOLTS WOULD ALLOW SEPARATION OF THE MASTER CYLINDER FROM ITS MOUNTING.
FixDEFECTIVE MOUNTING BOLTS WILL BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
INCORRECT BOLTS MAY HAVE BEEN USED TO MOUNT THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER UNIT. THE BOLTS COULD BREAK AND ALLOW SEPARATION OF THE MASTER CYLINDER FROM ITS MOUNTING.
FixVEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND ANY INCORRECT BOLTS WILL BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
THE DEFECT IS INSECURE CLAMPING OF THE STEERING COLUMN COUPLING TO THE STEERING GEAR INPUT SHAFT DUE TO CLAMP FAILURE. THE CLAMP WAS IMPROPERLY HEAT-TREATED AND MAY BE DEFORMED OR FRACTURED. INSECURE CLAMPING CAN CAUSE WEAR AND PROGRESSIVE LOOSENESS, WHICH IF NOT DETECTED OR NOT PROMPTLY REPAIRED COULD PROGRESS UNTIL SERRATIONS OF SHAFT AND/OR INTERNAL SPLINE TEETH OF COUPLING BECOME STRIPPED.
FixTHE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE CLAMP, BOLT AND NUT ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AT NO COST TO OWNER.
THE AIR SUPPLY LINES FROM THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY AIR TANKS TO THE AIR BRAKE APPLICATION (FOOT) VALVE MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN REVERSE. IN THE EVENT OF AIR LOSS FAILURE IN THE PRIMARY SYSTEM, TOTAL LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKES COULD OCCUR.
FixDEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REINSTALL THE AIR SUPPLY LINES PROPERLY.
