On certain B600, F600 and P800 vehicles, engine resonance can cause elevated stress conditions and a fatigue failure of the accelerator return springs. A failed return spring could result in the engine not fully returning to idle when the accelerator pedal is released. Correction: Accelerator return springs will be replaced with a torsion spring design.
On certain B700, F700, F800, FT900, L8000, LA8000, LN7000, LN8000, LNT8000, LS8000, LT8000 and LTS8000, the Hand throttle cable may wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it passes. In some cases the wear may result in the cable jamming in the damaged swivel, which could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position. Correction: A revised governor lever with a stainless steel swivel will be installed on affected vehicles.
On certain B600 and F600 vehicles, a tolerance stack-up condition on the accelerator lever and the automatic transmission modulator lever may result in interference between the two levers which could prevent the engine from fully returning to idle. Correction: Affected vehicles will have a revised modulator lever installed.
NOTE: SCHOOL BUSES EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX C-300N STEERING GEAR. DURING LOW SPEED MANEUVERS, A SEAL IN THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY MAY LEAK, RESULTING IN A REDUCED LEVEL OF POWER ASSIST OUTPUT. IN ADDITION, SOME OF THESE VEHICLES MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FRACTURES OF A SNAP RING IN THE STEERING GEAR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROGRESSIVE REDUCTIONS IN RIGHT TURN MAXIMUM WHEEL TRAVEL. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND STEERING GEAR WILL BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
On certain B600 and B700 vehicles, the battery power junction block mounted on the right front fender apron might be susceptible to road splash and corrosion from calcium chloride and sodium chloride. This could result in eventual fracture of the main terminal or other terminals at the junction block causing the loss of vehicle power supply or loss of power to a particular system such as the engine, power steering or hydraulic brake boost. Correction: Dealers will replace the junction block, main power terminal from the starter or starter relay and terminals at the existing block. The hydraulic brake circuit will be modified by bypassing the junction block. New terminals will be made from an alloy material more resistant to salt corrosion.
NOTE: INCLUDES TRUCKS, TRUCK CHASSIS AND BUS CHASSIS. MEDIUM AND HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CUMMINS 5.9 LITRE AND 8.3 LITRE DIESEL ENGINES WITH IN-LINE FUEL INJECTION PUMPS MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR FRACTURE OF THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS. IF BOTH SPRINGS WERE TO FRACTURE THE THROTTLE WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION AND MAY RESULT IN INCREASED ENGINE SPEED AND THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: THROTTLE RETURN CONTROL SYSTEM WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE COIL TORSION SPRING DESIGN.
NOTE: INCOMPLETE CHASSIS-CABS. ONE OR MORE OF THE SIX CLAMPS THAT HOLD THE TIRE AND RIM ASSEMBLY TO THE CAST SPOKES OF THE FRONT WHEEL MAY HAVE BEEN OF AN INCORRECT SIZE. INSTALLATION OF THE CLAMPS MAY RESULT IN BENDING OF THE STUDS WHICH ARE USED TO ATTACH THE CLAMPS TO THE SPOKES. THIS WOULD INCREASE THE RISK OF STUD FRACTURE AND POSSIBLE WHEEL FAILURE. CORRECTION. STUDS AND CLAMPS WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
