THE HYDRAULIC PARKING BRAKE CONTROL VALVE MAY INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATE DUE TO MOMENTARY PRESSURE DISRUPTIONS WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND CAUSE THE PARKING BRAKE TO BE APPLIED, STOPPING OR SLOWING THE TRUCK UNEXPECTEDLY. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THIS UNEXPECTED STOPPING OR SLOWING OF THE TRUCK MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A REAR END COLLISION SINCE THE BRAKE (STOP) LIGHTS ARE NOT ACTIVATED. ALSO, ON CERTAIN ROAD CONDITIONS THIS OCCURRENCE MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WHICH WOULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. Remedy: REPLACE THE PUSH-PULL TYPE BRAKE CONTROL VALVE WITH NEW OVER-CENTER CAM TYPE VALVES.
We checked Transport Canada's recall database for this make, model and year.

THE HYDRAULIC PARKING BRAKE CONTROL VALVE MAY INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATE DUE TO MOMENTARY PRESSURE DISRUPTION IN THE HYDRAULIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM, RESULTING IN THE APPLICATION OF THE REAR AXLE BRAKES. SHOULD THIS OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED ON A SLIPPERY OR LOOSE-MATERIAL ROAD SURFACE, THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WOULD EXIST. ALSO, SINCE THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT ACTUATE THE BRAKE STOP LIGHTS, THE RISK OF A REAR IMPACT WOULD BE INCREASED.
On certain vehicles, the hydraulic brake booster supply hoses are located too near the exhaust manifold heat shrouds and may be susceptible to chaging and/ or heat damage. This could cause the hose to wear and eventually rupture resulting in a loss of pump fluid. Should this occur during vehicle operation, there is a potential for increased stopping distance due to the loss of pump fluid and for an engine compartment fire resulting from fluid being sprayed on the exhaust manifold.
CARBURETOR THROTTLE SHAFTS MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DIRT CONTAMINATION AND WEAR OF THE BEARING COATINGS. THIS COULD CAUSE THE SECONDARY THROTTLE PLATES TO REMAIN PARTIALLY OPEN AFTER THE DRIVER HAS RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS THIS WERE TO OCCUR, ENGINE SPEED WOULD NOT RETURN TO IDLE POTENTIALLY AFFECTING VEHICLE CONTROL AND STOPPING DISTANCES.
