Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a White Truck RB2S Series, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Reservoir/tank (service brakes)

    NHTSA 80V115000 Reported 100 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

    Certain vehicles may not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 12i, "air brake systems". This requires the air tank capacity to be at least twelve times as large as the brake chamber volume, to provide adequate reserves for situations which may require repeated brake applications.

    Remedy: Dealer will add an air tank to the involved vehicles at no charge to owner.

    Model years: 1978, 1979

  2. Springs (vehicle speed control)

    NHTSA 80V002000 Reported 20 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

    On some vehicles, the accelerator return spring bracket was improperly positioned. This may delay the return of the throttle to the idle position or prevent it from returning altogether. The improper positioning constitutes a non-compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems".

    Remedy: Dealer will check position of the accelerator return spring bracket on all involved vehicles. The bracket will be repositioned and return springs will be replaced, if necessary, free of charge.

    Model years: 1979
