45 recalls announced in the last 30 days. Newest first - each one shows the problem, the risk, the free fix and every vehicle it covers.
The involved vehicles fail to meet federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment", in regard to height mounting location requirements. The rear reflex reflectors exceed the maximum 60 inch height mounting...
With the engine operating at high speed, the plastic engine fan finger guards may contact the engine fan and breakage of the guard may occur. This could cause fragments of the finger guard to scatter.
On some vehicles, the lower steering drive shaft rubs against the steering boot retainer spring. This chafing can wear a groove into the drive shaft which can eventually lead to a separation of the tube.
The metal stiffener at the rear of the splash shield may become bent during servicing or by abuse. This can allow the splash shield and stiffener or one of its attaching bolts to rub against and cut the steering shaft.
An improper pinch bolt and nut may have been used in the clamping of the steering shaft to the steering gear input shaft. Due to clamping force loads applied at the bolt, the nut could yield, resulting in looseness of the input shaft yoke. Should this...
Operation of the vehicle in a manner which produces hard bottoming out of the front suspension may cause deformation of the left engine mount support structure and allow the engine mount bracket to contact the steering pitman arm or steering linkage.
Certain air brake anti-lock modulators could malfunction during operation of the anti-lock system. A nylon piston within the modulator air valve system can swell from exposure to system contaminants. Continued exposure may cause the piston to swell to the...
Vehicles do not comply to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "Anchorage of seats". The lock bar in the front seat adjuster assemblies may not engage properly and the ability of the seat adjuster to maintain the seat in a latched position during an...
Certain vehicles may have an incorrect gasket between the transmission and the transfer case. An incorrect gasket may interfere with the normal flow of lubricant. This condition could cause the transmission to become damaged and inoperative.
On certain vehicles, the length of thread engagement in the garrison power steering drag link is less than that specified for this installation.
Vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "Hydraulic brake systems". An incorrect parking brake adjusting spring was installed on certain vehicles. This may cause interference when attempting to apply the parking brakes.
The driver"s seat belt may fail to meet federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "Seat belt assemblies". Seat belts may not be sufficiently long to allow some drivers to fasten them when the seat is in the forward and highest position.
Use of an alternate aluminum alloy which has a lower strength in hot state, may allow cracking of brake pedal levers. Repeated braking or high brake pedal loading may result in complete fracture which would prevent application of the service brakes.
The flue outlet fittings installed on certain vehicles are too short to connect the insulating sleeve to the furnace outer case. This could allow high temperatures to concentrate on the trailer wall.
The rear seat belt stalk could become detached when in use due to improper heat processing during manufacture.
Labels fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "Tire selection and rims". Incorrect information was provided on tire labels.
The air brake lines may be routed too close to the exhaust muffler. Because the air brake lines are made of nylon material, heat from the exhaust muffler can weaken the brake line tubes, possibly causing them to rupture. Tube rupture could result in loss of...
An incorrect steering gear flange may have been installed, which may slip and cause eventual loss of steering control.
The involved vehicles contain a potentially defective pressure control valve in the evaporative emission control system which, through excess pressure over extended periods, could cause metal fatigue and eventually fuel vapors to be emitted into the...
