Most recent first. Recall repairs are free at any authorised dealer. Click a recall for the full defect, consequence and remedy text.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  4. 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.

Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 4 campaigns currently list the 1977 White Truck Road Commander; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised White Truck dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 77V007000).

What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?

A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
