Reported: 1995-01-01 (January 1, 1995)
STRAPS HOLDING THE SLEEPER UPPER BUNK IN THE RAISED POSITION CAN RELEASE WITHOUT WARNING.
Consequence: IF THE RESTRAINING STRAP RELEASES SUDDENLY, THEBUNK FALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN STRIKE AN OCCUPANT SITTING IN THE LOWER BUNK CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE UPPER BUNK RETAINING STRAPS WITH AN IMPROVED AUTOMOTIVE SAFETY BELT STYLE DESIGN STRAP.
NHTSA campaign record ↗96V022000 · Engine And Engine Cooling:Exhaust System:Manifold/Header/Muffler/Tail Pipe
Reported: 1996-01-05 (January 5, 1996)
THESE HEAVY TRUCKS WERE EQUIPPED WITH EXHAUST MUFFLERS WITHOUT HEAT SHIELDING.
Consequence: SOMEONE WORKING BEHIND THE CAB COULD CONTACT THE HOT MUFFLER CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY. ALSO SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE EQUIPPED WITH DECK PLATES WITH NO GRAB HANDLES FOR ACCESS.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL MUFFLER SHIELDS AND, WHERE NECESSARY, GRAB HANDLES.
NHTSA campaign record ↗96V025000 · Vehicle Speed Control:Springs
Reported: 1996-02-06 (February 6, 1996)
THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS CAN FAIL.
Consequence: IF BOTH SPRINGS FAIL, THE ENGINE IS NOT LIKELY TO RETURN TO IDLE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED, CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL AND SUDDENLY INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACEMENT THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS WILL BE MAILED DIRECTLY TO OWNERS. IF THE OWNERS PREFER, THEIR DEALERS CAN INSTALL THE SPRINGS FOR THEM.
NHTSA campaign record ↗96V124003 · Suspension
Reported: 1996-08-01 (August 1, 1996)
THE EQUALIZING BEAM SHAFT OF THE TANDEM AXLE SUSPENSION WERE MANUFACTURED FROM AS-ROLLED SAE4140 STEEL RATHER THAN THE SPECIFIED ANNEALED SAE4140. THESE SHAFTS CAN FRACTURE INSIDE THE BEAM AT THE TOE OF THE WELD.
Consequence: VEHICLES ARE SUBJECT TO VEHICLE TILT AND POSSIBLE ROLLOVER IN THE EVENT THAT BOTH EQUALIZING BEAMS, ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, EXPERIENCE A SIMULTANEOUS SHAFT FAILURE. AFFECTED SUSPENSIONS CAN ALSO DROP AND CONTACT THE ROAD SURFACE GENERATING SPARKS WHICH COULD IGNITE FLAMMABLE MATERIAL.
Remedy: OWNER NOTIFICATION IS BEING CONDUCTED BY NEWAY ANCHORLOK. DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE ALL SUSPENSION SUSPENSION BEAMS WITH SUSPENSION BEAMS CONTAINING APPROPRIATE SHAFTS.
