- The problem
- Vehicle description: class 8 heavy duty trucks. The air suspension control valve supply line was not plumbed through an air pressure protection valve. In the event of a failure, there would be loss of air pressure in the 'b' system air reservoir that supplies air pressure for the front steer axle brakes.
- The risk
- This condition would result in increased stopping distances.
- The fix
- Dealers will install the necessary air pressure protection valve.

1995 White GMC FE recalls 3
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- The traction solenoid exhaust can be obstructed due to inadequate drainage and a build-up of road contamination between the mounting bracket and the solenoid housing. The obstructed exhaust prevents the relay valve control air pressure from venting after a differential braking traction event.
- The risk
- This condition would keep the rear axle service brakes applied without any brake pedal movement by the driver increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- The fix
- Dealers will remove the suspect valve and install a new valve that has a modified solenoid housing which will allow for sufficient drainage and a new valve mounting bracket with increased height to reduce entry of contamination.
- The problem
- The rear suspension axle retention plate can break under normal use, affecting axle alignment.
- The risk
- This condition could result in loss of rear axle stability affecting vehicle directional control and increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will remove and replace the axle retention clip plates on affected vehicles.
