- [85V085000](/recalls/nhtsa/85V085000.md), 1985-07-02: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS. THE FRONT AIR BRAKE HOSE MAY CONTACT THE INNER FENDER ON  THE LEFT AND/OR RIGHT SIDES OF SOME TRUCKS. IN SOME INSTANCES, THE BRAKE HOSE    MAY RUB THROUGH, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE UPON BRAKE APPLICATION.                                                                                      CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: BRAKE HOSE MAY RUB THROUGH CAUSING AIR PRESSURE LOSS      WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY. A REDUCTION OF BRAKING      ABILITY AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE IS REQUIRED COULD RESULT IN A   VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. Built 1982\-10\-01 to 1984\-11\-01.
- [84V120000](/recalls/nhtsa/84V120000.md), 1984-10-02: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:CHECK VALVE. THE DUAL AIR RESERVOIRS OF SOME TRUCKS WERE EQUIPPED WITH CARBON STEEL SPRINGS INSTEAD OF STAINLESS STEEL SPRINGS, AS INTENDED. THE CARBON STEEL SPRING IS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO RUSTING THAN THE STAINLESS STEEL SPRING. THIS RUSTING COULD CAUSE THE CHECK VALVE TO FAIL, CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. Built 1982\-12\-01 to 1983\-08\-01.
