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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS 8 HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE AIR SUSPENSION CONTROL VALVE SUPPLY LINE WAS NOT PLUMBED THROUGH AN AIR PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE. IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE, THERE WOULD BE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE IN THE 'B' SYSTEM AIR RESERVOIR THAT SUPPLIES AIR PRESSURE FOR THE FRONT STEER AXLE BRAKES.
RiskTHIS CONDITION WOULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES.
FixDEALERS WILL INSTALL THE NECESSARY AIR PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE.
THESE WHEELS ARE COMPOSED OF 2 PIECES - A DISC AND A RIM WHICH ARE NORMALLY WELDED TOGETHER. THESE WHEELS LACK THE SPECIFIED FILLET WELDS.
RiskIF WHEEL SEPARATION OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS INMOTION, BOTH STEERING AND BRAKING COULD BE AFFECTED RESULTING IN A VEHICLECRASH.
FixDEALERS WILL INSPECT THE MANUFACTURING CODES STAMPED ON EACH WHEEL AND IF A WHEEL FALLS WITHIN THE SPECIFIED DATE CODE RANGE, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THAT WHEEL.
AIR SYSTEM BLOCKAGE IN THE AIR DRYER OCCURS DEGRADING THE MOISTURE REMOVING CAPABILITIES OF THE DRYER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN A COLD ENVIRONMENT AND MOISTURE ACCUMULATES AND FREEZES IN THE AIR DRYER OR IN THE LINE BETWEEN THE DRYER AND THE AIR SYSTEM RESERVOIR. THE AIR DRYER CAN BECOME OVERPRESSURIZED CAUSING THE AIR DRYER CARTRIDGE TO SEPARATE FROM THE MOUNTING BASE.
RiskIF THE AIR DRYER SEPARATES FROM THE BASE, THE CARTRIDGECAN SEPARATE SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH TO CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
FixDEALERS WILL EQUIP AIR SYSTEMS WITH A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE TO BE LOCATED BETWEEN THE COMPRESSOR AND THE AIR DRYER. THIS PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IS INTENDED TO VENT IF EXCESSIVE PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN THE AIR DRYER.
THE MAIN ELECTRICAL POWER HARNESS WAS MISROUTED. IF THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THIS HARNESS, THE CIRCUIT WOULD NOT BE FUSE-PROTECTED.
RiskA SHORT IN A MISROUTED POWER HARNESS CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE.
FixDEALERS WILL REROUTE THE SUBJECT POWER HARNESS AND RECONNECT THE AFFECTED WIRES TO THE CORRECT FUSE-PROTECTED POWER JUNCTION.
