A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.
By component
| 98V255000 | 1998-10-14. SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:AIR SUSPENSION:LINES AND FITTINGS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS 8 HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE AIR SUSPENSION CONTROL VALVE SUPPLY LINE WAS NOT PLUMBED THROUGH AN AIR PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE. IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE, THERE WOULD BE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE IN THE 'B' SYSTEM AIR RESERVOIR THAT SUPPLIES AIR PRESSURE FOR THE FRONT STEER AXLE BRAKES. Built 1986-10-01 to 1998-07-13. |
|---|---|
| 96V095000 | 1996-03-23. SERVICE BRAKES, AIR. THE TRACTION SOLENOID EXHAUST CAN BE OBSTRUCTED DUE TO INADEQUATE DRAINAGE AND A BUILD-UP OF ROAD CONTAMINATION BETWEEN THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND THE SOLENOID HOUSING. THE OBSTRUCTED EXHAUST PREVENTS THE RELAY VALVE CONTROL AIR PRESSURE FROM VENTING AFTER A DIFFERENTIAL BRAKING TRACTION EVENT. Built 1994-08-01 to 1996-02-01. |
| 94V038000 | 1994-02-23. STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR. THE BRACKETS THAT ATTACH THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY TO THE CAB STRUCTURE CRACKS AT THE "V" NOTCH IN THE BRACKET. Built 1993-03-01 to 1994-01-01. |
| 1998246 | 1998-12-21. Brakes. On certain vehicles, the air ride suspension control valve supply line is not plumbed through an air pressure protection valve. In the event of an air suspension bag failure, there will be loss of air pressure in the "b" system which supplies air pressure to the front steer axle brakes. This could result in loss of front steer axle brakes and increased stopping distances. Correction: Air pressure protection valve will be installed. |
|---|---|
| 1996081 | 1996-05-30. Brakes. NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX AUTOMATIC TRACTION RELAY VALVE. THE TRACTION RELAY VALVE SOLENOID EXHAUST CAN BE OBSTRUCTED DUE TO BUILD UP OF ROAD CONTAMINATION, WHICH MAY FREEZE DURING COLD WEATHER OPERATION. THE OBSTRUCTED EXHAUST MAY, WITHOUT WARNING, AND AFTER A BRAKING TRACTION EVENT, KEEP THE REAR BRAKES APPLIED WITHOUT ANY BRAKE PEDAL MOVEMENT BY THE DRIVER. CORRECTION: A NEW TRACTION RELAY VALVE ASSEMBLY WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. |
| 1995102 | 1995-06-20. Brakes. NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ROCKWELL WABCO SYSTEM SAVER 1000 AIR DRYERS. IN AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS REQUIRING A LARGE VOLUME OF AIR TO PASS THROUGH THE DRYER IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THE DRYER CANNOT REMOVE ALL OF THE MOISTURE FROM THE AIR. IN A COLD ENVIRONMENT THIS MOISTURE MAY FREEZE AND EFFECTIVELY BLOCK THE AIR LINES DOWNSTREAM OF THE DRYER RESULTING IN AN AIR PRESSURE BUILD UP IN THE DRYER. THIS AIR PRESSURE MAY EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE DRYER CARTRIDGE TO SEPARATE FROM THE DRYER. THE SEPARATED CARTRIDGE MAY CAUSE BODILY INJURY TO ANYONE STANDING NEAR THE DRYER AT THE INSTANT OF SEPARATION. CORRECTION: PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE DRYER OUTLET PORTS ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. |
| 1994071 | 1994-04-08. Steering. THE BRACKETS THAT ATTACH THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY TO THE CAB STRUCTURE MAY FAIL, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IF BOTH STEERING COLUMN MOUNTING BRACKETS FAIL, THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN MAY DROP DOWN INTO THE DRIVER'S LAP AND CAUSE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: STEERING COLUMN SUPPORT BRACKETS WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. |
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.
