All White Truck Road Commander 2 recalls (8)

Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a White Truck Road Commander 2, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

1. Idler and attachment (steering)

   NHTSA 81V066000 Reported June 1, 1981 46 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

   A keyway, which is used on the steering arms to assure that they are properly indexed, may have been assembled out of correct alignment. This causes the drag link ball stud working angle to be exceeded and could lead to early failure of the ball stud.

   Remedy: The vehicle will be inspected and, if necessary, the steering arm will be replaced at no charge to owner.

   Model years: 1980

2. Reservoir/tank (service brakes)

   NHTSA 80V115000 Reported September 9, 1980 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

3. Cables (vehicle speed control)

   NHTSA 80V036000 Reported March 26, 1980 388 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

   Certain vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems". Due to interference between the engine shutdown actuator and the accelerator return springs, the throttle may not return quickly enough.

   Remedy: Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, reposition the throttle return spring bracket and replace the return springs without charge to owner.

   Model years: 1979

4. Steering wheel/handle bar (steering)

   NHTSA 78V095000 Reported April 27, 1978 1,750 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

   The power steering universal shaft assemblies on the involved vehicles contain a revised grease groove location. Consequently, they may not have proper lubrication in the shaft spline area. Due to manufacturing errors, rust may develop and cause shaft seizure.

   Remedy: The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the universal steering shaft assembly.

   Model years: 1977, 1978

5. Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (service brakes)

   NHTSA 77V224000 Reported December 15, 1977 27 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

   On the involved vehicles, the service and supply lines may have been switched on the rear axle anti-skid control valve during vehicle assembly. This fails to conform with the pneumatic timing requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems".

   Remedy: Dealer will inspect and will connect the service and supply lines correctly.

   Model years: 1977

6. Check valve (service brakes)

   NHTSA 76V155000 Reported October 4, 1976 4 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION
