On certain trucks, the air compressor may not built enough air pressure to support the air brake system. If this condition were to occur while the vehicle is stationary (brake applied), the air brakes would remain applied and prevent the vehicle from moving. Should it occur while the vehicle is in motion, the rear spring parking brakes would engage, slowing the vehicle to a stop, and preventing it from being driven. Correction: Dealers will inspect the air compressor for its ability to build air pressure, and either modify the air compressor by eliminating the suppression valve or replace the air compressor assembly altogether.

Certain medium duty tilt cab trucks equipped with manual transmissions. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the clutch master-cylinder pushrod end that attaches to the clutch pedal pin can wear prematurely. The first noticeable effect of this wear could be the clutch pedal not returning completely to the full-up position. If this occurs, the fast-idle engine speed control may not function. If the clutch master-cylinder pushrod end wears sufficiently to allow the attaching end to bend open or break off, the pedal pin would detach from the clutch rod link and the clutch would engage. If clutch engagement occurred while the vehicle was stopped, with the engine running and the transmission in gear, and if the brakes were not applied, the vehicle could move forward if the transmission were in a forward gear, or rearward if the transmission were in a reverse gear. Correction: Dealers will install a new clutch master-cylinder assembly and clutch pedal assembly.

Certain vehicles may have been assembled with the inner fender skirt contacting the right hand brake pipe. Vibration of the fender skirt could eventually cause a fatigue fracture in the brake pipe resulting in the loss of brake fluid and subsequent loss of front braking action. The rear brake system would remain functional. However, loss of front braking at a time when minimum stopping distance is required could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.
