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. |
|---|---|
| 95V038000 | 1995-02-28. STEERING:LINKAGES. THE WRONG BALL SOCKET ASSEMBLY WAS USED TO ATTACH THE STEERING ARMS TO BOTH THE STEERING DRAG LINK AND THE STEERING RAM ASSIST CYLINDER, RESULTING IN A BINDING CONDITION. Built 1993-10-01 to 1995-01-01. |
| 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. |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 1995089 | 1995-05-31. Steering. THE WRONG BALL SOCKET ASSEMBLY WAS USED TO ATTACH THE STEERING ARMS TO THE STEERING DRAG LINK AND THE STEERING RAM ASSIST CYLINDER. THE ASSEMBLY MAY BIND UNDER EXTREME STEER ARTICULATION. THIS CONDITION COULD OVER TIME, WITHOUT WARNING, FATIGUE FAIL THE BALL SOCKET CAUSING POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND WHERE REQUIRED, REPLACE THE FACTORY INSTALLED BALL SOCKET ASSEMBLY(S). |
| 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. |
| 1994050 | 1994-03-14. Steering. NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DOUGLAS AUTOTECH TILT STEERING COLUMN. THE UPPER STEERING SHAFT RETAINING BALL MAY HAVE BEEN OMITTED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD ALLOW THE UPPER SHAFT TO TELESCOPE OUT TOO FAR AND DISENGAGE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS DRAWN TO ITS MAXIMUM EXTENDED POSITION. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND STEERING COLUMNS WITH NO UPPER SHAFT RETAINING BALL 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.
