## 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.
