Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with air brakes, water may build up on the right front brake drum while driving in very wet conditions. During a hard braking event, this could cause a brake pull to the left. Safety Risk: If the vehicle suddenly pulls to the left during braking, it could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to install newly designed brake drums with dust shields.
On certain trucks, the positive battery cable (between the battery and the starter) could chafe against a convoluted tubing which, over time, could cause abrasion damage to the cable insulation, possibly resulting in an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the positive battery cable between the battery and the starter.
On certain vehicles, corrosion and/or rust may develop on the automatic belt tensioner spindle and/or bushing causing the auto tensioner to become stiff or bind. This can cause the drive belt to suddenly come off, and/or the auto tensioner mounting bolts to suddenly break. If the drive belt comes off, the Alternator Warning Lamp will illuminate. If the warning is ignored, an engine overheat condition and/or loss of vehicle power (engine stall) may occur which potentially could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace tensioner, bolts and belt. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2006130.
On certain trucks, the steering wheel retaining nut may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly. Should the loose nut back off completely, the steering wheel could come off the steering shaft. This could result in a loss of steering control and a crash. Correction: Dealers will torque the nut to specs.
On certain trucks, the crossmember was not formed correctly during manufacturing process. Using results from a stress test, it was estimated that the life expectancy of the suspect crossmember could be less than the design intent. In some applications the crossmember supports the center bearing of the propeller shaft. If this condition were to occur, the structural integrity of the crossmember could be compromised and could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the crossmember.
