POWER STEERING HOSE ASSEMBLIES WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT END FITTINGS. THESE END FITTINGS WERE RATED AT 1250 PSI WORKING PRESSURE AND THE CORRECT END FITTINGS ARE RATED AT 2000 PSI. Remedy: REMOVE AND REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE LINE BETWEEN THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND THE STEERING GEAR BOX.
CONTACT MAY OCCUR BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND A HUCK BOLT COLLAR WHICH CAUSES A GEAR WITHIN THE MOTOR TO FRACTURE RESULTING IN COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND REMOVE THE HUCK BOLT AND REPLACE IT WITH A PULL-TYPE RIVET.

CONTACT MAY OCCUR BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND A HUCK BOLT COLLAR WHICH CAN CAUSE A GEAR WITHIN THE MOTOR TO FRACTURE. THIS WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF WINDSHIELD WIPER FUNCTION AND IMPAIRED DRIVER VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. CORRECTION: WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WILL BE REPLACED AND HUCK BOLT WILL BE REPLACED WITH A PULL TYPE RIVET.
ON VEHICLES WITH TRACTION CONTROL, THE CROSSMEMBER MOUNTED BRAKE VALVES WERE MOUNTED WITH THE EXHAUST PORT UPWARD WHICH MAY ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM AND CAUSE BLOCKAGE UNDER FREEZING CONDITIONS. THIS MAY LIMIT THE ABILITY OF THE BRAKE CHAMBERS TO EXHAUST AFTER A SERVICE BRAKE APPLICATION WHICH CAN RESULT IN THE SERVICE BRAKES DRAGGING AND POSSIBLY OVERHEATING ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DRIVE AXLES. CORRECTION: BRAKE VALVES WILL BE INVERTED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE END FITTINGS ARE RATED AT 1250 PSI INSTEAD OF 2000 PSI. THIS CREATES THE POSSIBILITY OF HOSE END FITTING FAILURE, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, AND RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE ASSEMBLIES WILL BE REPLACED.
THE PITMAN ARM COULD INTERFERE WITH THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE. THIS COULD RESULT IN DIMINISHED STEERING CONTROL. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND PITMAN ARM WILL BE REPLACED IF ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE WITH THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING IS NECESSARY.
