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 trucks, the coupling located between the engine fuel supply pump and the air compressor may crack, causing geartrain and/or valve damage to the engine. This could cause the engine to stop running, which can disable the power steering system or stop the supply of air to the air tanks, resulting in insufficient braking power. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel supply pump coupling.
