Model year record
9 recall campaigns on file for this model year. No owner complaints on file.
LOCKWASHERS, USED TO RETAIN THE ENGINE"S FAN MOUNTING BOLTS, MAY HAVE BEEN OMITTED DURING ASSEMBLY, CAUSING THE BOLTS TO LOOSEN AND ALLOWING THE FAN TO SEPARATE FROM ITS MOUNTING HUB.
DEALER WILL INSTALL LOCKWASHERS ON THE BOLTS.
SOME OF THE VEHICLES MAY HAVE MANGANESE BRONZE SPRING CLIP PLATES USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR MALLEABLE IRON. THE SUBSTITUTE CLIPS, WHICH ARE USED TO ATTACH THE SUSPENSION SPRING TO THE REAR AXLE, MAY CRACK ALLOWING THE ASSEMBLY TO LOOSEN. THIS CAN CAUSE REAR AXLE DISPLACEMENT.
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE MANGANESE BRONZE CLIPS WITH MALLEABLE IRON CLIP PLATES AT NO COST TO OWNER.
THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MAY OVER-TRAVEL ITS DESIGNED SWEEP ANGLE DURING ITS INITIAL STROKE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF TEMPORARY WIPER IMMOBILIZATION.
DEALER WILL INSTALL A RESTRICTION FITTING IN THE CONTROL VALVE AT NO COST TO OWNER.
LOSS OF LIGHTS AND ENGINE SHUTDOWN MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER CIRCUIT CRIMPING AND POTENTIAL HEATER MOTOR CIRCUIT OVERLOADING. ALSO, THE FUEL SOLENOID MAY BE IMPROPERLY FUSED AND THE HEADLIGHT HARNESS IMPROPERLY ROUTED.
THE DEALER WILL MAKE THE NECESSARY CORRECTIONS, FREE OF CHARGE TO THE OWNER.
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS", IN THAT SOME DUAL COMPARTMENT AIR RESERVOIRS WERE INSTALLED WITHOUT A DRAIN VALVE IN BOTH COMPARTMENTS. THE OMISSION OF THE DRAIN VALVE COULD CAUSE: 1) THE TANK TO FILL UP WITH WATER DUE TO CONDENSATION, 2) REDUCED AIR VOLUME, 3) CONTAMINATION OF THE AIR SYSTEM WITH WATER, CAUSING MALFUNCTION OF THE RELEASE VALVES, CHECK VALVES, ETC., AND INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF AIR SYSTEM COMPONENT FREEZE-UP IN COLD CLIMATES. THESE CONDITIONS COULD RESULT IN MOMENTARY LOSS OF BRAKING ACTION.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, INSTALL A DRAIN VALVE AT NO COST TO OWNER.
THE VINYL COVERED INTERIOR PASSENGER ASSIST/GRAB HANDLE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT HAND HINGE PILLAR CAN WEAR AND FAIL IN SERVICE.
THE OWNER HAS THE OPTION OF EITHER HAVING THE DEALER REMOVE THE HANDLE FREE OF CHARGE OR REMOVING IT HIMSELF AND BEING REIMBURSED $3.00 PER VEHICLE.
THE GROUND WIRE FROM THE BATTERY GROUND ON THE ENGINE TO THE FRAME RAIL WAS OMITTED. THIS CONSTITUTES A NON-COMPLIANCE TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT" AND NO. 121, "AIR BRAKES". AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF ELECTRICAL GROUND AND SUBSEQUENT DIMMING OF THE LIGHTING SYSTEM COMPONENTS OR A POSSIBLE FALSE INDICATION OF ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM FUNCTION IS THE CAUSE FOR THE NON-COMPLIANCE.
THE DEALER WILL INSTALL TWO GROUND CABLES FREE OF CHARGE ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.
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.
DEALER WILL INSTALL A NEW TRACTOR PROTECTION VALVE WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS". THE BRAKES MAY FAIL TO RELEASE WITHIN THE TIME SPECIFIED BY THE STANDARD.
DEALER WILL INSTALL REPLACEMENT MATERIAL TO CORRECT THE BRAKE RELEASE TIMING, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
