|---|---|
| 1987022 | 1987-02-16. Suspension. THE ALUMINUM WHEELS ON THESE TRUCKS MAY HAVE PILOT BORES BELOW THE MINIMUM SPECIFIED DIAMETER. IN SOME CASES THIS COULD INTERFERE WITH PROPER MOUNTING AND CAUSE WHEELS TO RUN LOOSE. PROLONGED OPERATION WITH THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN STUD BREAKING AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: WHEELS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED OR REPLACED AS NECESSARY. |
| 1987015 | 1987-02-09. Suspension. NOTE: 1971 TO 1987 TRUCKS WITH NEWAY AIR RIDE DRIVE AXLE SUSPENSION. THE CHANNEL TYPE CROSSMEMBER INSTALLED WITH THE SUSPENSION CAN BE OVERSTRESSED AND CAN FAIL. THE BROKEN CROSSMEMBER CAN PROTRUDE ABOVE THE TOP OF THE FRAME AND INTERFERE WITH THE TRAILER CHASSIS COMPONENTS. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT HANDLING WHEN TURNING. ALSO, A COMPLETELY SEPARATED CROSSMEMBER WITH ATTACHED HEIGHT CONTROL VALVES COULD AFFECT THE HEIGHT OF THE SUSPENSION AIR SPRINGS. THE RESULTING LEAN COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. |
| 1986045 | 1986-04-23. Emissions. THESE VEHICLE MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1101 - EMISSION DEVICE. |
| 1986011 | 1986-01-22. Structure. THE ACCELERATOR ROD TO ACCELERATOR ROD HOLE CLEARANCE IS NOT ADEQUATE AND CAN CAUSE BINDING TO OCCUR DUE TO CAB ARTICULATION. IF THIS BINDING IS PRESENT WHILE IN A FULL THROTTLE POSITION, IMMEDIATE CONTROL OF POWER IS LOST WITHOUT WARNING TO THE DRIVER WITH POTENTIAL FOR VEHICLE CRASH. TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH E-6 ENGINES. |
| 1985090 | 1985-07-29. 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 WOULD SEPARATE FROM THE LEVER AND THE LEVER WOULD MOVE TO THE 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 FIRST 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.
