All White Truck Road Commander recalls (14)

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

  1. Hub (wheels)

    NHTSA 77V237000 Reported 888 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

    The aluminum hubs on the involved vehicles may be subject to failure due to cracks that may develop around the base of the inner bearing cup. These cracks may spread around the barrel of the hub and may lead to fracture and hub separation. The separated hub is retained on the axle spindle by the wheel bearing adjusting nut.

    Remedy: Dealer will inspect and will replace front axle aluminum hubs with steel ones, without charge.

    Model years: 1976, 1977

  2. Fifth wheel assembly (trailer hitches)

    NHTSA 77V223000 Reported 8 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

    On the involved vehicles, the mounting tabs used to mount the fifth wheel assembly to the chassis in place of the normal continuous angle construction could crack. These cracks can develop in the areas where the tabs are welded to the side of the fifth wheel assembly. If these cracks go undetected, the fifth wheel could eventually…

    Remedy: Dealer will modify the fifth wheel mounting without charge to owner.

    Model years: 1976, 1977

  3. Linkages (vehicle speed control)

    NHTSA 77V093000 Reported 293 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

    The engine mounted accelerator relay shaft can be contacted by the cab structure due to variations in the cab to engine relationship combined with sufficient relative motion between the engine and the cab. This could cause the accelerator to bind in position, resulting in loss of control over vehicle speed.

    Remedy: Dealer will relocate the accelerator linkage at no cost to owner.

    Model years: 1975, 1976, 1977

  4. Steering wheel/handle bar (steering)

    NHTSA 77V022000 Reported 333 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

    On the involved vehicles, the steering universal shaft assemblies may have been improperly manufactured. As a result, the assembly could fail.

    Remedy: Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the universal shaft assembly without charge.

    Model years: 1976

  5. Latches/locks/linkages

    NHTSA 77V008000 Reported 8,168 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

    The involved vehicles may have been equipped with aluminum grab handles. These handles can crack through the upper mounting hole and eventually fail.

    Remedy: The dealer will replace the aluminum handles on all affected vehicles, free of charge.

    Model years: 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975

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

    NHTSA 77V007000 Reported 71 vehicles potentially affected WHITE MOTOR CORPORATION

    The hoses on the involved vehicles may not have been properly installed. As a result, air leakage could occur. This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 106, "brake hoses". Complete failure will however, actuate the tractor protection valve and the trailer parking brakes will be applied automatically.

    Remedy: The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the hose assembly, free of charge.

    Model years: 1977
