DASHBOARD IS BREAKING APART. MOST CRITICAL AREA AT THIS TIME IS WHERE THE FUSE BOX IS LOCATED. MOST OF THE PLASTIC HAS CRACKED BROKEN AND THE FUSE PANEL FELL OUT AND WAS HANGING BY THE ELECTRICAL WIRES. ANOTHER AREA OF IMPORTANCE IS WHERE THE AIR BRAKE SET/RELEASE VALVE IS LOCATED. THE PLASTIC GAVE WAY AND THE VALVE PUSHES FREELY BACK INTO THE DASH WITHOUT SUPPORT TO SET OR RELEASE. DETERIORATION HAS OCCURRED OVER TIME AND THE DETERIORATION IS CONTINUING.

1 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

00V397000 · Exterior Lighting:Turn Signal:Switch

Reported: 2000-11-29 (November 29, 2000)

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. A LOSS OF THE TURN SIGNAL FUNCTION CAN OCCUR DUE TO A TURN SIGNAL FLASHER THAT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCHES THAT ALLOW THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO OVERRIDE THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS. IF THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED, THE TURN SIGNAL FLASHER SENSES AN OVERLOAD CONDITION AND BECOMES DISABLED UNTIL ALL ELECTRIC LOADS ARE REMOVED.

Consequence: FOLLOWING DRIVERS MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE TRUCK'S TURNING INTENTIONS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A TURN SIGNAL FLASHER THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH TURN SIGNAL SWITCHES THAT ALLOW THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO OVERRIDE THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS.
