FRONT AXLE AIR BRAKE LINES ARE ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS CAN PERMIT BRAKE LINES TO MELT AND RUPTURE, CAUSING A REDUCTION IN AIR PRESSURE TO BRAKE CHAMBERS UPON BRAKE APPLICATION.

THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES PROVIDE LESS THAN THE REQUIRED TORQUE, CAUSING A SLUGGISH RETURN OF THE THROTTLE TO THE IDLE POSITION AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. THIS FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 124, "ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEMS".
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: NEW ANCHOR BRACKETS AND SPRING EXTENSIONS FOR THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS, WILL BE INSTALLED AT CORRECTED LOCATIONS WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

INADEQUATE WELD POSITIONING COUPLED WITH RADIUS ROD LOAD AND LOOSENING OF THE SPRING CLIP NUTS COULD CAUSE SPRING SEAT FRACTURE. THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AXLE.
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: SPRING SEAT RADIUS ROD BRACKETS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY. IN ADDITION, SUPPLEMENTAL BRACKETS WILL BE INSTALLED TO REINFORCE THE SPRING SEAT, WITHOUT CHARGE.

DUE TO A DEFICIENCY IN MATERIAL STRENGTH, THE FRONT ENGINE SUPPORT BRACKETS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS THAT COULD LEAD TO BRACKET FAILURE. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO DROP DOWN INTO THE RADIATOR, DAMAGING THE SHROUD, ENGINE FAN, AND OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS. THE ENGINE THROTTLE COULD BE PULLED INTO FULL GOVERNED POSITION.
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: THE EXISTING SUPPORT BRACKETS WILL BE REPLACED WITH BRACKETS MADE OF DUCTILE IRON, AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
