Summary
Certain trucks equipped with manual transmissions. Fatigue failure of the front parking brake cable input button these vehicles could result in failure of the parking brake system to hold the vehicle stationary. This could result in unintended vehicle movement and a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: dealers will replace the front parking brake cable and the controller and verify the performance of the parking brake system on these vehicles.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the automated valve stems may have been over inserted into the wheels during installation. This could tear the rubber bulb at the base of the valve stem and result in loss of air. If air pressure is not maintained, the tire may operate at extremely low inflation pressures. Since commercial truck tires have steel cords in the sidewall, operation at extremely low pressures could result in sidewall zipper failures either during vehicle operation or during inflation of the tire. A potential for personal injury exists if safety standards are not followed while inflating and zipper failure occurs. Correction: Valve stems will be inspected for leakage and if leakage is found, both valve stem and tire will be replaced.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the speed control cable may interfere with the speed control servo pulley and not allow the throttle to return to idle when disengaging the speed control. If the speed control is used and this condition is present, a stuck throttle could result, which could potentially cause an accident. By not using speed control, this condition will not occur. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and, if required, speed control cable will be replaced.
