FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM RECONFIGURATION TO COMPLY WITH ENGINE EMISSION STANDARDS CAUSE HIGHER ENGINE VIBRATION LEVELS WHICH LEAD TO EARLY WEAR AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE SECONDARY THROTTLE RETURN MECHANISM.
IN THE EVENT THE PRIMARY THROTTLE RETURN FAILS, FAILURE OF THE SECONDARY THROTTLE RETURN SYSTEM WOULD NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL.
A NEW PRODUCTION SECONDARY THROTTLE RETURN SYSTEM CONFIGURATION WILL BE INSTALLED.
STRESSES IMPOSED ON THE LEVER DURING TURNING MANEUVERS AND/OR IMPACT INCIDENTS, SUCH AS WOULD BE CAUSED BY CURBS OR ROAD SURFACE IRREGULARITY, REDUCE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE PART. THE STEERING LEVER MAY CRACK AND EVENTUALLY THE STRESSES COULD CAUSE THE STEERING LEVER TO BREAK.
A BROKEN STEERING LEVER WILL CAUSE LOSS OF STEERINGCONTROL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING WHICH MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE STEERING ARMS.
WELDING DEFICIENCIES CAN CAUSE TWO-PIECE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING BRACKET TO PROGRESSIVELY SEPARATE.
THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, WITHOUTPRIOR WARNING, AND A VEHICLE CRASH.
REPLACE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING BRACKETS WITH PROPERLY WELDED BRACKETS.
FASTENERS THAT HOLD THE REAR WHEEL TO THE HUB AND DRUM ASSEMBLY MAY BE IMPROPERLY TORQUED.
AN UNDERTORQUED FASTENER WILL LOOSEN UP AND CAN RESULT INWHEEL SEPARATION, LOSS OF CONTROL, AND AN ACCIDENT.
PROPERLY TORQUE REAR WHEEL SPACE FASTENERS.
CROSS STEERING LEVERS MAY BE IMPROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND SUBJECT TO FAIL DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
SUCH FAILURE COULD CAUSE LOSS OF TRUCK CONTROL WITHOUTPRIOR WARNING AND RESULT IN A CRASH.
INSTALL NEW, PROPERLY HEAT TREATED STEERING LEVER.
