By component
| 01V387000 | 2001-12-17. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR 3406E AND C-15 ENGINES, INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE AND STUD MOUNTING ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) TO THE ENGINE EXISTS. CHAFING CAN WEAR THROUGH THE BATTERY CABLE INSULATION TO ALLOW CONTACT BETWEEN THE BATTERY CABLE AND THE STUD. Built 1998-12-01 to 2000-02-10. |
|---|
| 2005320 | 2005-10-18. Fuel System. On certain vehicles fitted with optional in-cab batteries, fuel lines may contact the cab power harness, resulting in chafe damage that could present a fire hazard. Correction: Dealers will reroute and secure the fuel lines. |
|---|---|
| 2002064 | 2002-04-04. Electrical. On certain trucks the positive battery cable routing past the ECM may allow the cable to chafe against the ECM mounting stud. Chafing may wear through the protective loom and battery cable insulation to allow contact between the cable and the stud. This contact would provide a short circuit which may cause a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace and/or reroute the cables. |
| 2001085 | 2001-04-06. Steering. Certain vehicles equipped with tie rod assemblies manufactured by TRW. The suspect tie rods contain 24-DL model ball sockets. Certain of the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket. If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective ball sockets and/or drag links. |
| 2000230 | 2000-10-16. Steering. On certain vehicles, the TRW tie rod and drag link ball stud ends contain bearing that are below the specified case depth and/or hardness. This can lead to premature wear out and a possible separation of the ball stud from the socket and loss of steering control. Correction: All affected tie rods and drag links with different design ends will be replaced. |
| 1999237 | 1999-12-23. Brakes. Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 121 - Air Brake Systems. The brake linings failed to meet the recovery portion of the deceleration test. Correction: Brake linings will be replaced. |
| 1999088 | 1999-05-18. Suspension. On certain vehicles, the hub units on the front axle may be susceptible to fatigue cracking which may result in wheel separation under normal operating conditions. This could result in loss of vehicle control and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Front hub units will be replaced. |
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.
