On certain vehicles, the 12" X 4" DCM Drum Parking Brake Assemblies were fastened to the brake flange yoke with 1.25" attaching bolts. These bolts may interfere with the actuator strut in the parking brake assembly. Such interference could prevent the brake from being properly engage and disengaged. Correction: Dealers will replace bolts.
On certain vehicles, the brake pedal push rod that activates the service brakes may fracture. This could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Brake pedal push rod will be replaced with one of a larger diameter.
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CUMMINS B AND C SERIES ENGINES. THE FAN BLADES MAY EXPERIENCE STRESS LEVELS HIGHER THAN ANTICIPATED WHICH CAN CAUSE FATIGUE CRACKS AND EVENTUALLY SEPARATION OF THE FAN BLADE. THIS CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE VICINITY OF THE FAN AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. CORRECTION: FANS WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW DESIGN FAN WHICH IS MORE DURABLE.
THE BOLTS USED TO ATTACH THE GLADHAND CONNECTOR PLATES TO THE GLADHANDS MAY BE DEFECTIVE DUE TO HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT. IF THE BOLTS FAIL, THEN THE GLADHAND CONNECTOR PLATE CAN BECOME LOOSE ALLOWING THE SEAL TO BE BROKEN BETWEEN THE TOWING VEHICLE AND THE TRAILER. THIS WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF TRAILER BRAKES AND COULD RESULT IN APPLICATION OF THE TRAILER EMERGENCY SPRING BRAKES. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND GLADHAND FASTENERS WILL BE REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
