92V057000 · Seat Belts:Front:Anchorage
Reported: 1992-04-14 (April 14, 1992) · Model years: 1991, 1992
A NUMBER OF CABS WERE ASSEMBLED WITH FEWER WELDS THAN SPECIFIED IN THE UPPER B PILLAR NEAR THE ANCHORAGE FOR THE SEAT BELT. WELDING MATERIALS USED ON THE INBOARD ANCHORAGE BRACKET UNDER THE CAB DECK WILL NOT MEET FMVSS NO. 210 LOAD TEST REQUIREMENTS WHEN THREE SEATING POSITIONS ARE PROVIDED.
Consequence: SAFETY BELT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS THAT DO NOT COMPLY TO THELOAD TEST REQUIREMENTS SUBJECT THE SEAT OCCUPANT TO GREATER RISK OF INJURY INTHE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT.
Remedy: ADD REINFORCEMENT WELDS IN THE UPPER B PILLAR AND ADD FASTENERS TO THE LOWER DECK ANCHORAGE BRACKET.
NHTSA campaign record ↗95V018000 · Service Brakes, Air:Drum:Chamber
Reported: 1995-02-06 (February 6, 1995) · Model years: 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995
THE BRAKE CHAMBER MOUNTING STUDS CAN LOOSEN OR PULL THROUGH DUE TO FATIGUE IN THE BRAKE CHAMBER HOUSING CAUSED BY FOUNDATION BRAKE CHATTER.
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CHANGE THE BRAKE LINING MATERIALS, REPLACE THE WING BRACKET WITH A REINFORCED BRACKET AND INSTALL BRAKE CHAMBERS WITH REINFORCED CHAMBER HOUSING AND LARGER (1/2") MOUNTING STUDS.
NHTSA campaign record ↗95V094000 · Parking Brake:Conventional:Mechanical
Reported: 1995-05-09 (May 9, 1995) · Model years: 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995
THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER MAY NOT TRAVEL FAR ENOUGH OVER CENTER TO ASSURE THAT IT REMAINS IN THE PROPER POSITION ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY WHILE PARKED.
Consequence: IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT PROPERLY PARKED WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THE CORRECT POSITION, AND IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A GRADE, IT COULD UNINTENTIONALLY ROLL AWAY INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER WITH A LEVER THAT REQUIRES A 25 LB. EFFORT TO RELEASE.
NHTSA campaign record ↗98V002000 · Equipment:Other:Labels
Reported: 1998-01-05 (January 5, 1998) · Model years: 1995, 1996
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRUCK/TRAILERS. THE CERTIFICATION LABELS INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES ARE INCORRECT. THE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING IS TOO HIGH FOR THE TIRES THAT WERE INSTALLED.
Consequence: THE VEHICLE IS TOO HEAVY FOR THE TIRES INSTALLED RESULTING IN A TIRE SEPARATION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A CORRECTED CERTIFICATION LABEL ON THESE VEHICLES.
NHTSA campaign record ↗96V233003 · Suspension:Rear
Reported: 1996-11-20 (November 20, 1996) · Model years: 1996
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: ALL VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH EATON DRIVE AXLES AND AXILOK SPINDLE NUTS. THE DRIVE AXLE HOUSINGS CONSIST OF A PLATE STEEL CENTER SECTION AND TWO FORGED SPINDLES, ONE OF WHICH IS WELDED TO EACH END OF THE CENTER SECTION. EACH SPINDLE CONTAINS A KEYWAY SLOT IN WHICH THE LOCKING TAB FOR THE WHEEL BEARING NUT LOCKING MECHANISM IS INSERTED. THE LENGTH OF THE KEYWAY SLOT MAY NOT BE LONG ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE THE TAB CAUSING THE TAB TO BE DEFORMED OR DAMAGED DURING INSTALLATION.
Consequence: THIS LOCKING TAB PREVENTS THE WHEEL BEARING NUT FROM LOOSENING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IF THIS TAB IS DEFORMED, THE NUT CAN LOOSEN ALLOWING THE WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE AXLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DRIVE AXLE HOUSING NUTS WITH A CONVENTIONAL WHEEL NUT HARDWARE SYSTEM.
NHTSA campaign record ↗99V085000 · Parking Brake:Driveline
Reported: 1999-04-20 (April 20, 1999) · Model years: 1997, 1998
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH A DRIVELINE PARKING BRAKE. THE FASTENERS THAT CONNECT THE END OF TRANSMISSION COMPANION FLANGE TO THE PARK DRUM AND DRIVELINE MAY LOOSEN.
Consequence: IF THIS IS UNDETECTED, THE FASTENERS MAY FATIGUE AND EVENTUALLY SHEAR OFF ALLOWING THE DRIVELINE TO SEPARATE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FLANGE FASTENERS FOR PROPER TORQUE AND REPLACE ANY FASTENERS FOUND LOOSE. IF THE FASTENERS ARE FOUND TO BE PROPERLY TORQUED, THEY WILL BE REMOVED, PERMALOCK WILL BE ADDED, AND THEN RETORQUED TO PROPER SPECIFICATIONS.
NHTSA campaign record ↗99V111000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings
Reported: 1999-05-06 (May 6, 1999) · Model years: 1999
