Latest vehicle recalls

On the involved vehicles, the service and supply lines may have been switched on the rear axle anti-skid control valve during vehicle assembly. This fails to conform with the pneumatic timing requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "Air...

On the involved vehicles, the mounting tabs used to mount the fifth wheel assembly to the chassis in place of the normal continuous angle construction could crack. These cracks can develop in the areas where the tabs are welded to the side of the fifth wheel...

The involved vehicles were built with aft-of-axle fuel tanks which were not authorized by light truck engineering. As a result, these vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "Fuel system integrity", due to possible fuel tank...

The involved vehicles are equipped with air conditioning units which contain blower motor resistor wires which are improperly positioned. As a result, under certain conditions the polypropylene case material could become overheated and eventually ignite...

The involved vehicles are in non-compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "Accelerator control systems". The throttle cable plastic sleeve on these vehicles, which is attached to the firewall, could break at the groove for the retaining...

On the involved vehicles, the manual steering gears may contain steering gear recirculatory balls that could fracture. This fracturing is a result of improper heat-treatment during manufacture and can eventually cause increased steering effort.

The involved vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "Anchorage of seats", due to possible failure of the seat post attachment at the floor in the event of an accident. These vehicles have oversized bolt holes in the floor...

On the involved vehicles, the vacuum line connecting the carburetor and the thermo valve may have been improperly installed. This condition may prevent the throttle linkage plate from returning to its idle position.

The involved vehicles were assembled with front axle u-bolts which were fabricated from defective raw material and could crack. This could lead to failure of the u-bolts and separation of the steering axle from the truck chassis.

The fuel tubes (fuel tank to pump) on the involved vehicles may be routed such that tube to underbody reinforcement flange interference may result during vehicle operation. Tube abrasion caused by such interference may result in fuel leakage.

The columns may contain steering shafts in which the steering column coupling roll pin retaining notch was machined too deep. This may cause the steering wheel shaft to become disengaged from the rest of the steering assembly.

The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "Air brake systems". These vehicles do not meet the 0.550 Second brake release timing requirement.

A deficiency exists in the welds securing the rear spring insulator bracket to the axle housing. This is due to improper positioning of the weld, in relationship to the bracket and axle housing. Failure of the welds would cause separation of the spring...

The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard nos. 207, "Seating systems", and 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages". Vehicles equipped with viking t-bar seats have the seat belt anchorage located under the seat. The tether belt...

The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 106, "Brake hoses". These front hydraulic brake hoses may fail under pressure of brake application due to use of improperly processed material. Partial loss of braking...

The rear wheel mounting bolts on the affected vehicles, are brittle and therefore may fracture. This brittleness is due to improper heat treatment during manufacture. If the bolts break, the tire and wheel assembly may separate from the vehicle.

The involved vehicles may have been equipped with cast aluminum wheels with inadequate lug nut counterbore depths. This condition may not provide sufficient lug nut thread engagement. The lug nuts may loosen and fall off, allowing the wheel to separate from...

On the involved vehicles, leakage may occur at the threaded carburetor-to-fuel filter connection on the suspect carburetors. This is due to an improperly machined carburetor fuel inlet connection.

On the involved vehicles, tempered glass may have been installed in the rear doors instead of laminated glass. This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "Bus window retention and release". One purpose of the standard...

The dust tube portion of the accelerator cable assembly on the involved vehicles may bind due to improper crimping of the cable assembly during manufacture. As a result, the return rate of the throttle may be slowed or the throttle may be prevented from...
