What is wrong
LEFT OR RIGHT CAB STEP MAY CRACK IN ITS WELDED AREA DUE TO FLEXING OF THE STEP DURING ENTERING AND EXITING. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: AS THE CRACKS EXTEND, THE TUBULAR STEP COULD PARTIALLY COLLAPSE AND BREAK WITHOUT WARNING TO THE USER, AND COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURIES.
The remedy
INSTALL A REINFORCEMENT BRACE IF NO CRACKS ARE FOUND. IN ADDITION, REPLACE STEP IF CRACKS ARE PRESENT.
Notes
SYSTEM: CAB STEP. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS WITH SLEEPER CAB.
