Latest vehicle recalls

Labels specifying vehicle capacity weight and designated seating capacity overstate the maximum load permissible for both occupants and luggage. The label is in non compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, Tire selection and rims.

The steering wheel may be locked when the ignition key is in the off position and the gear shift lever is not in park. This condition constitutes a non compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 114, Theft protection.

Some vehicles may have been built with improperly manufactured wheels. The welds securing the center sections to the rims may crack from fatigue.

The clamps on flexible fuel hoses connecting the fuel pump to the metal line may not be in the proper position.

Some buses may have misalignment of the steering column assembly and the gear box.

Fuel leakage may develop at the two main fuel rail connections. Deterioration at these two connections has been traced to a combination of misalignment of the two rail halves and the effect of temperature changes.

The bolts that attach the d-shaped ring for the shoulder belt are inadequately supported by the material in which they are mounted. The attachment does not comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "Seat belt assembly...

Voltage regulator which controls the amount of flow in the electrical system between the battery and the alternator, may have manufacturing errors in an integrated circuit. The regulator may overcharge the battery.

Left drive shaft may develop cracks, and may break under heavy loading such as that caused by rapid acceleration. This defect originated in a manufacturing process which has now been improved.

Production tolerance errors could allow accidental hood opening. If the hood is not securely latched in the fully locked position, driving at high speed or hitting a large bump could cause the hood to open without warning.

Voltage regulator may overcharge due to manufacturing errors in an integrated circuit.

The slip joint between the cab mounted steering column shaft and the frame mounted steering gear may not have sufficient clearance. Excessive load on the slip joint may cause failure of the steering column shaft.

The draglink, a part of the steering linkage that transmits turning movements to the wheels, may loosen or fail at one of its connections. This is due to inadequate clamping force of the threaded connection on the vertical ball stud. Dimensions of threaded...

Brake line may develop a hole or leak by shorting against a bare, live electrical line. The electrical conductor could lose insulation due to melting by muffler heat.

The hood latch may fail to hold the hood in position due to a misalignment of the secondary hood latch. This condition is due to a deformation of the hood during manufacture.

Mounting of the pitman arm may loosen and lead to excessive wear in either the pitman arm splines or the steering gear shaft splines, or both. This condition is due to incorrect tightening of the mounting screws during assembly.

Front wheels may wobble due to the inadvertent omission of a wheel bearing cup during assembly.

The throttle may jam and may not return to the closed position. This problem is due to the omission, during assembly, of a nut on the cruise control rod which limits travel in the throttle mechanism.

The fuel pump may stop functioning without warning. This can occur because an electrical connector in the fuse panel may overheat and interrupt the electrical circuit.

Brake lines installed underneath the carpeting in the passenger compartment may rust due to the entry of water and road salt. If rusting remains unchecked, it produces leaks in the lines and brake fluid may be lost.
