- [1989032](/recalls/tc/1989032.md), 1989-03-10: Suspension. DOWELS, WHICH LOCATE AND PREVENT MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE SPRING CAP AND THE AXLE HOUSING ON THE SS65 BOGIE, MAY HAVE BEEN OMITTED DURING INSTALLATION OF THE SPRING CAPS.

THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND DOWELS INSTALLED WHERE NECESSARY.
- [1988131](/recalls/tc/1988131.md), 1988-09-20: Seats And Restraints. THE SEAT TETHER BELTS ON MODELS EQUIPPED WITH AIR RIDE SEATS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED DURING ASSEMBLY.

VEHICLES WITH SHEPPARD STEERING GEAR WERE MANUFACTURED WITH AN INCORRECT PITMAN ARM TO DRAG LINK ANGLE DUE TO A MISPLACED PITMAN ARM TIMING MARK. IN A FULL RIGHT HAND TURN WITH THE LEFT HAND WHEEL UNSUPPORTED, THE STEERING LINKAGE COULD GO INTO A TOGGLE CONDITION RESULTING IN A SLOW WHEEL RETURN.

- [1987131](/recalls/tc/1987131.md), 1987-11-30: Steering. ON TRUCKS WITH MACK FA\(W\)616 OR 617 SERIES FRONT AXLE, THE CROSS STEERING LEVERS MAY BE IMPROPERLY HEAT\-TREATED.

- [1987120](/recalls/tc/1987120.md), 1987-11-04: Steering. VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH THE KEYWAY ON THE RIGHT HAND STEERING ARM IN THE WRONG LOCATION. WITH THE WHEEL IN AN EXTREME LEFT HAND TURN AND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL UNSUPPORTED \(I.E., FALLING IN A POTHOLE\), A TOGGLE CONDITION COULD OCCUR. THE RESULTING SLOW STEERING RETURN COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT STEERING CONTROL WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: INCORRECT STEERING ARMS WILL BE REPLACED.
- [1987015](/recalls/tc/1987015.md), 1987-02-09: Suspension. NOTE: 1971 TO 1987 TRUCKS WITH NEWAY AIR RIDE DRIVE AXLE SUSPENSION.
