-
Fifth wheel assembly (trailer hitches)
Too much distance between bolts securing the 5th wheel mounting angles to the frame side rail places stress on mounting fasteners.
Remedy: Install additional fasteners as required.
Model years: 1988
-
Connection (steering)
Steering drag link may be too close to the left front spring bracket.
Remedy: Install four hardened washers between steering gear and front spring bracket.
Model years: 1988
-
Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (service brakes)
Truck tractor to trailer hoses installed on these trucks may not meet adhesion requirements of FMVSS 106, hydraulic brake hoses. The hose outer cover and braid did not with stand tensile force required by the standard. Consequence of defect: the hose may fail causing partial loss of braking capability which could lead to a crash if all…
Remedy: Replace hose assembly if of the suspect date code.
Model years: 1986
-
Anchorage (seat belts)
The seat belts loosen as truck is driven. The non locking retractor takes up any belt slack, giving false impression that the belt is still tight. Consequence of defect: the defect can increase the possibility of injury to the belt wearer in event of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Replace inboard driver and passenger seat belt halves with longer belts that assure proper locking angle between belt webbing and buckle.
Model years: 1985, 1986
