What the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration knows about this vehicle: every recall, every consumer complaint, every defect investigation, every NCAP crash test. Sourced directly from NHTSA data feeds.
SPRING SEAT CAN DEFORM, WHICH CAUSES A DECREASE IN THE CLAMPING FORCE IN THE SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY. LOSS OF CLAMPING FORCE MAY BRING ABOUT AXLE MISALIGNMENT OR AXLE HOUSING FAILURE.
FixTHE AXLE HOUSING WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED, IF NECESSARY. THE SPRING SEATS WILL ALSO BE REPLACED.
INADEQUATE WELD POSITIONING COUPLED WITH RADIUS ROD LOAD AND LOOSENING OF THE SPRING CLIP NUTS COULD CAUSE SPRING SEAT FRACTURE. THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AXLE.
FixSPRING SEAT RADIUS ROD BRACKETS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY. IN ADDITION, SUPPLEMENTAL BRACKETS WILL BE INSTALLED TO REINFORCE THE SPRING SEAT, WITHOUT CHARGE.
DUE TO A DEFICIENCY IN MATERIAL STRENGTH, THE FRONT ENGINE SUPPORT BRACKETS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS THAT COULD LEAD TO BRACKET FAILURE. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO DROP DOWN INTO THE RADIATOR, DAMAGING THE SHROUD, ENGINE FAN, AND OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS. THE ENGINE THROTTLE COULD BE PULLED INTO FULL GOVERNED POSITION.
FixTHE EXISTING SUPPORT BRACKETS WILL BE REPLACED WITH BRACKETS MADE OF DUCTILE IRON, AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
VEHICLE CERTIFICATION LABELS WERE MISLOCATED ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES. THE LABELS ARE LOCATED INSIDE THE DISPATCH BOX LID WHERE THEY ARE NOT EASILY VISIBLE.
FixNEW CERTIFICATION LABELS WILL BE INSTALLED IN AN ACCEPTABLE LOCATION.
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 204, "STEERING CONTROL REARWARD DISPLACEMENT". THE ALUMINUM FRONT SPRING REAR BRACKET IS SUBJECT TO BREAKAGE. THIS BRACKET, ALONG WITH THE TAPER LEAF FRONT SPRINGS, ATTACHES THE SPRING SHACKLE TO THE CHASSIS FRAME.
FixDEALER WILL REPLACE THE PRESENT ALUMINUM FRONT SPRING REAR BRACKET WITH A REDESIGNED SPRING BRACKET CONTAINING A REINFORCING RIB.
THE CAB ELECTRICAL FEED CABLES MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WITH AN INADEQUATE CRIMPING OF THE TERMINAL TO THE CABLE. AS A RESULT, THE CABLE COULD SEPARATE FROM THE TERMINAL.
FixDEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, RECRIMP THE TERMINAL ENDS AS REQUIRED.
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES FAIL TO COMFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES". THE TETHER BELT MOUNTING BRACKETS MAY ALLOW THE SEAT UPPER BASE TO ROTATE AND DISCONNECT UPON HEAVY LOADING.
FixDEALER WILL INSTALL IMPROVED SEAT TETHER MOUNTING BRACKETS, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
