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.
THE INDICATOR FOR THE INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED.
RiskTHE INDICATOR CONTROL DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 101,"CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS". THE CONTROL WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO LOCATE DURING NIGHT OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE.
FixINSTALL AN ILLUMINATION FEATURE ON THE WIPER INTERMITTENT CONTROL.
THE PINCH BOLT USED TO RETAIN THE PITMAN ARM TO THE STEERING GEAR MAY NOT MEET THE HEAT TREAT SPECIFICATION FOR A GRADE 8 FASTENER AND MAY STRIP BEFORE PROPER TORQUE IS ACHIEVED.
RiskTHE PINCH BOLT MAY FAIL CAUSING SEPARATION OF THE PITMANARM AND THE STEERING LINKAGE, AND LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULTIN AN ACCIDENT.
FixREPLACE THE PINCH BOLTS WITH PROPERLY HEAT TREATED BOLTS.
