Recall History (6 recalls)
WHEELS:MULTI PIECE
THE DEFICIENCY EXISTS IN THE FRONT AXLE FORGED ALUMINUM HUBS. THE DEFICIENCY WHICH IS IN THE BARREL SECTION BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER BEARING, MAY RESULT IN CRACKS WHICH COULD LEAD TO HUB FAILURE. WHEN HUB FAILURE OCCURS, THE SEPARATED HUB IS RETAINED ON THE AXLE SPINDLE BY THE WHEEL BEARING AND ADJUSTING NUT.
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES A DEFECT MAY EXIST IN THE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE BALL JOINTS WHICH COULD CAUSE BINDING AND MAY LOCK THE ACCELERATOR CONTROL IN A PARTIALLY OR FULLY OPEN THROTTLE POSITION.
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS". THE WASHERS USED TO SPACE THE ANTI-LOCK SENSOR BRACKET AWAY FROM THE BRAKE SPIDER WERE OMITTED DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS OMISSION COULD CAUSE THE SENSOR BRACKET TO BE DEFORMED. BRAKING CAPABILITY COULD BE PARTIALLY LOST.
WHEELS:MULTI PIECE
A CASTING DEFICIENCY MAY ALLOW WHEELS TO DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE SPOKES BETWEEN THE HUB CAP MOUNTING AREA AND THE RIM CLAMP POCKET. CONTINUED USAGE CAN LEAD TO THE DISENGAGING OF THE RIM AND TIRE FROM THE VEHICLE.
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DRUM
AS A RESULT OF SEVERE SHOCK AND VIBRATIONS, THE BRAKE SPIDERS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS NEAR THE CAMSHAFT MOUNTING BOSS. THE CRACK PROPAGATES ACROSS THE SPIDER UNTIL THE CAMSHAFT BOSS IS COMPLETELY SEVERED FROM THE REMAINDER OF THE SPIDER. WHEN THE CAMSHAFT BOSS HAS COMPLETELY SEVERED, THE S-CAM, S-CAM BRACKET, AIR CHAMBER AND SLACK ADJUSTER CAN FALL AWAY FROM THE BRAKE SPIDER RESULTING IN A "NO BRAKE" CONDITION ON THE WHEEL.
