When subjected to the extremely high temperatures that can occur in the engine compartment, the damper sleeves which cover the return springs of the accelerator control system can deform and prevent their returning the throttle to idle position after release...
Due to a combination of disc brake pad wear and turn stop wear on certain vehicles, there may be an increase in brake pedal travel and a reduction in front braking effectiveness following a full turn. Also, a frame crack could develop and could extend through...
Certain vehicles were produced with wheel assemblies that may have cracks near the bolt holes in the wheel disc. During vehicle use, the cracks could gradually increase and result in partial or complete separation of the wheel and tire assembly from the...
Heat generated by catalytic converters may cause deterioration of hydraulic brake hoses on certain vehicles. Brake hose may fail, resulting in loss of hydraulic fluid from the dual hydraulic system.
Stop lamp switches on certain vehicles may have been contaminated with oil, which could degrade the contacts and result in a loss of stop lamp function.
Misbuilt wiring harnesses may have been installed on certain vehicles. This would allow the power windows to be operated while the ignition key is turned off, a condition which fails to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 118, "Power...
The bypass oil filter mounting brackets may be insufficiently welded to the radiator frame. This could allow the filter mounting bracket and oil filter to come loose, fall, and wedge themselves within the steering geometry.
An insufficient number of attachment screws may have been used to secure the shelf that supports furnace. The shelf may settle or collapse under the weight of the furnace. This would, in turn, dislodge the furnace exhaust pipe.
The prefabricated pinch bolt clamp at the lower steering shaft lower yoke may not perform adequately when tightened to specifications. The clamp may then deform and loss of clamping force and steering shaft disengagement may result.
The steering arm may develop cracks due to insufficient fatigue life in the machine radius of the taper at the steering knuckle end.
On certain vehicles, the knob that operates the tractor park valve may break off, rendering the valve inoperable.
Vehicles may fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "Tire selection and rims". Placard on rear edge of left door may show an incorrect vehicle capacity weight instead of the correct figure of 800 lbs.
Due to a faulty press die used in manufacturing alternator pulleys, pulleys installed on certain vehicles may crack and break during vehicle operation. The battery would then be constantly drained without recharging.
Certain vehicles were not equipped with a front protective shield for the mid-ship fuel tank. These vehicles do not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "Fuel system integrity". In the event of a frontal collision, excessive fuel...
The accessory feed wire assembly may have been pinched beneath a mounting bolt by the climate control air duct assembly. If this condition exists, a high resistance "short" may occur and cause the wire to overheat.
The federal motor vehicle safety standard certification labels on the involved vehicles may contain incorrect data for the incomplete vehicle (chassis) date of manufacture and for the date of federal motor vehicle safety standard conformance effectiveness.
Certain vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "Accelerator control systems". Due to interference between the engine shutdown actuator and the accelerator return springs, the throttle may not return quickly enough.
On some vehicles, the fender opening through which the antenna cable is routed may not be properly sealed. As a result, splashed water from the tires could enter passenger compartment through the opening, enter the fuse relay board and cause corrosion of the...
Some vehicles contain lenses that fade from amber to clear after exposure to sunlight for prolonged periods of time. This fading does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment".
