|---|---|
| 1986113 | 1986-10-08. Structure. THE HANDHOLD MOUNTING SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A TUBULAR HANDLE HELD IN THREE PLACES BY CAST ALUMINUM BRACKETS WHICH ARE, IN TURN, ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST MUFFLER HEAT SHIELD. VIBRATION FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSES THE HANDHOLD PARTS TO WEAR THIN AND COULD CAUSE THE HANDHOLD TO GIVE WAY UNDER THE WEIGHT OF A DRIVER. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. CORRECTION: REPLACE THE HANDHOLD WITH A MODIFIED DESIGN WHICH UTILIZES A RUBBER ISOLATOR. ADD A PLASTIC SLEEVE TO THE CENTER BRACKET FOR ISOLATION. |
| 1986021 | 1986-02-12. Structure. THE TUBULAR GRABHANDLE FOR CAB INGRESS/EGRESS IS HELD IN PLACE BY THREE BRACKETS AT TOP, MIDDLE AND BOTTOM OF THE TUBE. THE CENTRE BRACKET CONTAINS A RIVET WHICH SECURES THE TUBE IN THE BRACKET. THE DEFECT OCCURS IF THE RIVET IS NOT IN THE PROPER ALIGNMENT, WHICH RESULTS IN SMALL GAP BETWEEN THE RIVET HEAD AND THE BRACKET. THIS COULD ALLOW A RING FINGER TO BE CAUGHT IN THE GAP AND RESULT IN INJURY TO A PERSON GETTING OUT OF THE CAB. |
| 1985048 | 1985-04-29. THE HOLE IN THE THROTTLE LEVER AND THE STOP PIN MAY BE MISMATCHED WHICH COULD ALLOW THE PIN TO LOOSEN AND FALL OUT. SHOULD THIS HAPPEN, THE TENSION SPRING ATTACHED TO THE THROTTLE LEVER ASSEMBLY WOULD SEPARATE FROM THE LEVER CAUSING THE LEVER TO MOVE TO FULL THROTTLE POSITION, IDLE POSITION OR REMAIN IN THE POSITION THE LEVER WAS IN AT THE MOMENT OF FAILURE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. |
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.
