THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE TOP FLANGE OF THE FRONT FRAME RAIL EXTENSION. OVER TIME, THE CRACK MAY PROPAGATE ACROSS THE EXTENSION BRACKET, POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE EXTENSION BRACKET TO DEFORM UNDER LOAD. THESE TIRES ARE ALL ASYMMETRICAL TREAD PATTERNS WITH "OUTER" INDICATED ON THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL. THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL CONTAINS THE FULL TIRE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER INCLUDING THE PRODUCTION DATE CODE.

| 07V513000 | 2007-11-02. EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS. CERTAIN TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF PART 568, 'VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN TWO OR MORE STAGES, ALL INCOMPLETE, INTERMEDIATE AND FINAL-STAGE MANUFACTURERS OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN TWO OR MORE STAGES.' THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) LABEL, AS APPLIED, MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. THE GVWR LABEL MAY INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE'S LOAD CAPACITY IS HIGHER THAN THE DESIGNED WEIGHT RATING. Built 2007-07-13 to 2007-09-28. |
| 07V290000 | 2007-07-05. PARKING BRAKE. ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX SR-7 SPRING BRAKE MODULATING VALVES, THE INTERNAL RUBBER CHECK VALVE MAY LEAK CAUSING A DELAY IN THE APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES TO PARK THE VEHICLE AFTER THE OPERATOR PULLS THE DASH VALVE BUTTON. Built 2006-02-24 to 2007-06-09. |
| 07V184000 | 2007-04-26. STEERING:COLUMN. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, SOME OF THE STEERING COLUMN SUPPORT BRACKET FASTENERS MAY NOT BE SECURED TO THE PROPER TIGHTNESS. Built 2006-10-03 to 2007-01-23. |
| 07V007000 | 2007-01-05. SEATS. ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 XPEDITOR TRUCKS, SOME OF THE SEAT BASE MOUNTING FASTENERS THAT SECURE THE SEAT BASE TO THE CAB FLOOR BRACKET MAY HAVE BEEN LEFT LOOSE OR NOT INSTALLED AT ALL. IMPROPERLY TORQUED SEAT-MOUNTING FASTENERS MAY ALLOW MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT WHILE HE/SHE IS OPERATING THE VEHICLE. Built 2006-10-03 to 2006-12-09. |
| 2010055 | 2010-03-01. Structure. Certain vehicles may develop cracks in the top flange of the front frame rail extension. Over time, the crack may propagate across the extension bracket, potentially causing the extension bracket to deform under load. This may compromise vehicle control, which may result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will reinforce the front frame extensions. |
|---|---|
| 2007355 | 2007-11-06. Label. On certain trucks, the certification label does not contain the correct Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The label may indicate that the vehicle's load capacity is higher than the designed weight rating. As a result, the vehicle could be overloaded without the operator's knowledge. A vehicle in an overloaded condition may be susceptible to component failure that may result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will install updated labels. |
| 2007150 | 2007-05-11. Steering. On certain trucks, fasteners that fix the steering column brackets may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly. Over time, the fasteners may loosen causing excessive play in the steering column. This could cause the driver to lose steering control and may result in a vehicle crash with injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will tighten the steering column bolts to specs. |
| 2006358 | 2006-12-18. Seats And Restraints. On certain vehicles, the fasteners that secure the seat base to the cab floor bracket may have been left loose or omitted during vehicle assembly. Improperly torqued seat-mounting fasteners may allow the seat to move while the vehicle is in operation, causing a loss of control and a crash. Correction: Dealers will torque the fasteners to specs. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
