THE SLEEPER COMPARTMENT INSIDE DOOR LATCHING MECHANISMS MAY CAUSE THE DOOR TO UNLATCH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. Remedy: THE OPERATING LEVER AND CONNECTING RODS WILL BE REPLACED AND A SPRING WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE CONNECTING ROD.
STEERING ARM MAY FAIL IF USED ON EATON EFA12F4 FROM AXLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ROSS HFB70 POWER STEERING GEAR. Remedy: INSTALL A NONADJUSTABLE 1500 PSI POWER STEERING PUMP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE TO LIMIT STEERING ARM FORCES. REPLACE STEERING ARM WITH A DESIGN CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING HIGHER FORCES. ADJUST MAXIMUM POPPET VALVE SETTINGS TO 500 PSI AND ADJUST AXLE STOPS.
THE HANDHOLD MOUNTING SYSTEM, WHICH CONSISTS OF A TUBULAR HANDLE HELD IN THREE PLACES BY CAST ALUMINUM BRACKETS AND ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST MUFFLER HEAT SHIELD. VIBRATION FROM THIS SYSTEM CAUSES THE HANDHOLD PARTS TO WEAR. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IF THE PARTS WEAR THIN THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT THE HANDHOLD MIGHT GIVE WAY UNDER THE WEIGHT OF A DRIVER. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. Remedy: REPLACE THE END BRACKETS WITH A MODIFIED DESIGN UTILIZING A RUBBER ISOLATER. ALSO, ADD A PLASTIC SLEEVE TO THE CENTER BRACKET FOR ISOLATION.
SEAT BELTS CAN LOOSEN AS THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: DRIVER AND PASSENGER WOULD NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. Remedy: REPLACE THE NON LOCKING RETRACTOR SEAT BELTS WITH AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR SEAT BELTS.

THE STEERING ARM USED ON THE EATON EFA-12FA FRONT AXLE MAY FAIL WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ROSS HFB-70 POWER STEERING GEARS IF TORQUE LIMITING FEATURES ARE NOT MAINTAINED. A FAILED STEERING ARM WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: INSTALL A NONADJUSTABLE 1500 PSI POWER STEERING PUMP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE TO LIMIT STEERING ARM FORCES. REPLACE STEERING ARM WITH A DESIGN CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING HIGHER FORCES. ADJUST MAXIMUM POPPET VALVE SETTINGS TO 500 PSI AND ADJUST AXLE STOPS.
THE HANDHOLD MOUNTING SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A TUBULAR HANDLE HELD IN THREE PLACES BY CAST ALUMINUM BRACKETS WHICH ARE, IN TURN, ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST MUFFLER HEAT SHIELD. VIBRATION FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSES THE HANDHOLD PARTS TO WEAR THIN AND COULD CAUSE THE HANDHOLD TO GIVE WAY UNDER THE WEIGHT OF A DRIVER. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. CORRECTION: REPLACE THE HANDHOLD WITH A MODIFIED DESIGN WHICH UTILIZES A RUBBER ISOLATOR. ADD A PLASTIC SLEEVE TO THE CENTER BRACKET FOR ISOLATION.
THE TUBULAR GRABHANDLE FOR CAB INGRESS/EGRESS IS HELD IN PLACE BY THREE BRACKETS AT TOP, MIDDLE AND BOTTOM OF THE TUBE. THE CENTRE BRACKET CONTAINS A RIVET WHICH SECURES THE TUBE IN THE BRACKET. THE DEFECT OCCURS IF THE RIVET IS NOT IN THE PROPER ALIGNMENT, WHICH RESULTS IN SMALL GAP BETWEEN THE RIVET HEAD AND THE BRACKET. THIS COULD ALLOW A RING FINGER TO BE CAUGHT IN THE GAP AND RESULT IN INJURY TO A PERSON GETTING OUT OF THE CAB.
THE ROCKWELL "FF" SERIES FRONT AXLE BEAM ASSEMBLIES MAY CONTAIN CRACKS AT THE AXLE BEAM FORGED ENDS WHERE THE STEERING KNUCKLES ARE ATTACHED BY THE KING PINS. THESE CRACKS MAY LEAD TO A FAILURE OF THE AXLE BEAM END UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND COULD CAUSE A COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE WHEELS, TIRES, BRAKE ASSEMBLIES AND STEERING KNUCKLES FROM THE VEHICLE, LEADING TO A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND POSSIBLE CRASH.

THE HOLE IN THE THROTTLE LEVER AND THE STOP PIN MAY BE MISMATCHED WHICH COULD ALLOW THE PIN TO LOOSEN AND FALL OUT. SHOULD THIS HAPPEN, THE TENSION SPRING ATTACHED TO THE THROTTLE LEVER ASSEMBLY WOULD SEPARATE FROM THE LEVER CAUSING THE LEVER TO MOVE TO FULL THROTTLE POSITION, IDLE POSITION OR REMAIN IN THE POSITION THE LEVER WAS IN AT THE MOMENT OF FAILURE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
THE SPRING BRAKE AIR CHAMBERS ARE POSITIONED TOO CLOSELY TO A BOLT ON THE SUSPENSION. IF CONTACT BETWEEN THE CHAMBER AND THE BOLT OCCURRED WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE, DAMAGE TO THE PARKING BRAKE AIR CHAMBER COULD RESULT. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE SPRING BRAKES TO AUTOMATICALLY APPLY. SHOULD THIS OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD POSE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO TRAFFIC SAFETY. 2FV8HYKY9EV221499 - VEHICLE LOCATED IN ONTARIO
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH CMVSS 206 - DOOR LATCHES, HINGES AND LOCKS.
THE BOLT ATTACHJING THE PITMAN ARM TO THE STEERING GEAR SHAFT MAY HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENTLY TORQUED. IN ADDITION, THE RETAINING SET SCREWS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED OR WERE NOT FULLY SEATED. THESE CONDITIONS WOULD CAUSE THE PITMAN ARM TO SEPARATE FROM THE SHAFT AND RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.
