91V123000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Disc:Caliper
Reported: 1991-07-16 (July 16, 1991)
BRAKES MAY HAVE MISSING REAR AXLE OUTER BEARING RETAINING RING AND OR GREATER THAN SPECIFIED BEARING END PLAY. EITHER CONDITION ALLOWS THE ROTOR AND HUB ASSEMBLY TO SHIFT POSITION RELATIVE TO THE SPINDLE. THIS MOVEMENT CAN CAUSE BRAKE CALIPER PISTON RECEDE FARTHER THAN NORMAL INTO THE PISTON BORE WHICH WOULD REQUIRE GREATER THAN NORMAL BRAKE FLUID DISPLACEMENT WHEN THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE APPLIED.
Consequence: THIS CONDITION LEADS TO INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE, ANDSHOULD MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE BE REQUIRED, IT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTWITHOUT WARNING.
Remedy: REPLACE BOTH REAR AXLE HUBS.
NHTSA campaign record ↗91V133000 · Parking Brake:Conventional
Reported: 1991-08-05 (August 5, 1991)
THE AUTOMATIC APPLY TRANSMISSION MOUNTED PARKING BRAKE LEVER PIVOT BOLT "FINGER" MAY BE LOOSE.
Consequence: THE LOOSE PIVOT BOLT COULD ALLOW THE PARKING BRAKES TORELEASE AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN SET MANUALLY; IF THE BOLT FALLS OFF WHEN THEAUTOMATIC APPLY PARKING BRAKE IS SET, THERE IS INSUFFICIENT BRAKING TO HOLD THEVEHICLE IF IT IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD RESULT INVEHICLE MOVEMENT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND POSSIBLY IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: TORQUE PIVOT BOLT TO SPECIFICATIONS.
NHTSA campaign record ↗91V216000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly
Reported: 1991-12-13 (December 13, 1991)
SOME CHASSIS WERE SHIPPED TO BODY BUILDERS WITH DAMAGED FILL OR VENT OPENING CAPS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. IF A LEFT-HAND FILL SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED ON THE TANK, AND THERE WAS A DAMAGED RIGHT-HAND CAP, THE FUEL SYSTEM WOULD NOT BE SEALED.
Consequence: IF THE FUEL SYSTEM IS NOT SEALED, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFFSYSTEM USED IN GAS STATIONS WOULD NOT WORK, ALLOWING GAS TO BE FORCED OUT OFTHE DEFECTIVE RIGHT-HAND OPENING. THE SPILLED GASOLINE WOULD RESULT IN A FIREHAZARD IF EXPOSED TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION.
Remedy: INSTALL NEW CAPS ON THE VEHICLES WITH UNUSED RIGHT-HAND FILL OR VENT OPENINGS.

Remedy: REPLACE ALL SIX (SEVEN IF THERE IS A SPARE) DEFECTIVE WHEELS WITH NEWLY DESIGNED WHEELS.
