04V569000 · Structure
Reported: 2004-12-03 (December 3, 2004)
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE BOLTS THAT MOUNT THE FRONT OF THE CAB TO THE MOUNTING BRACKETS WERE NOT PROPERLY TORQUED AT THE MANUFACTURING PLANT.
Consequence: THESE BOLTS CAN LOOSEN DURING NORMAL VEHICLE USE AND FALL OUT. THIS MAY LEAD TO THE CAB SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE'S CHASSIS DURING A VEHICLE CRASH THAT MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: AS AN INTERIM ACTION, DEALERS WILL PROPERLY TIGHTEN THE EXISTING CAB MOUNTING BOLTS AND REPLACE ANY MISSING BOLTS. AS SOON AS PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL SIXTEEN BOLTS AND TIGHTEN THEM PROPERLY. AN INTERIM LETTER WAS SENT TO OWNERS ON FEBRUARY 11, 2005.

NHTSA campaign record ↗05V188000 · Trailer Hitches:Fifth Wheel Assembly
Reported: 2005-04-28 (April 28, 2005)
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR OPERATED FIFTH WHEEL SLIDES AND AN MSVA 7-PACK ACCESSORY CONTROLLER, THE 7-PACK CAN ALLOW WATER TO CONTAMINATE ITS CIRCUIT BOARD. THIS COULD RESULT IN INADVERTENT OPERATION OF THE FIFTH WHEEL SLIDE CONTROL.
Consequence: IF THE SLIDE CONTROL ACTUATES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, MOMENTUM FROM THE TRAILER CAN CAUSE THE FIFTH WHEEL TO SLIDE WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL RELOCATE THE MSVA 7-PACK TO A LESS WATER INTENSIVE ENVIRONMENT. A NEW MSVA 7-PACK BASE, THAT HAS BEEN IMPROVED TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION, AND ALL AIR ACCESSORY SOLENOIDS WILL BE INSTALLED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 5, 2005.
