- [1992052](/recalls/tc/1992052.md), 1992-04-30: Engine. VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR 3406 ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF  THE GOVERNOR SERVE PIN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE AND VEHICLE  CONTINUING AT THEIR SAME RESPECTIVE SPEEDS UNTIL A CHANGE IN LOAD  OCCURS \(I.E. TERRAIN, BRAKES OR CLUTCH\) AND COULD REDUCE ENGINE BRAKING  WITH A SUBSEQUENT INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCES AND THE RISK OF A CRASH. CORRECTION: GOVERNORS WILL BE RE\-WORKED TO ENSURE ADEQUATE PRESS FIT  AND/OR STAKING AT THE ENDS OF THE SERVE PIN BORE.
- [1990176](/recalls/tc/1990176.md), 1990-11-09: Electrical. THE JUMP START FEED STUD ON THE SLEEPER BOX COULD COME LOOSE FROM   ITS BRACKET OR THE FEED STUD CABLE COULD COME LOOSE FROM THE   STUD. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A GROUND PATH THROUGH A SMALL GAUGE   WIRE WHICH COULD OVERHEAT RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE IN\-CAB FIRE. CORRECTION: JUMP START FEED STUD MOUNTING WILL BE REVISED.
- [1988101](/recalls/tc/1988101.md), 1988-07-12: Engine. THE CUMMINS MODEL 1988NT SERIES ENGINES ON THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE OIL COOLER GASKETS. DURING HIGH LOAD/HIGH TEMPERATURE ENGINE OPERATION, LOSS OF LUBRICATING OIL MAY OCCUR RAPIDLY AND MAY LEAD TO FIRE FROM OIL BEING SPRAYED ONTO HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM PARTS. CORRECTION: POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE GASKETS WILL BE REPLACED WITH IMPROVED STEEL CORE GASKETS.
- [1988038](/recalls/tc/1988038.md), 1988-03-16: Structure. THE WRONG HITCH PIN CLIPS MAY HAVE BEEN USED ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ASF SIMPLEX FIFTH WHEELS. THIS COULD PERMIT MISPOSITIONING AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF THE PIN WHICH COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE FIFTH WHEEL FROM ITS MOUNTING BASE WITH A POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: AMERICAN STEEL FOUNDRIES WILL CORRECT ALL SUSPECTED VEHICLES. DETAILS TO BE SUPPLIED AT A LATER DATE.
