Vehicle Recalls

In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the disconnected OCS would, by default, cause the first stage, and only the first stage, of the air bag to deploy, whether there is a child seat in the front seat and the bag should not deploy or if the crash is severe and both stages should deploy. Either scenario increases the risk of injury to the front seat occupant.

If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. As a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.

If the castle nuts were not properly tightened, the cotter pin could shear and the steering linkage assembly components could separate, resulting in the loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.

The incorrect information may cause the trailer to be overloaded, possibly resulting in a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.

In the event of a crash, the seat may move forward at a high rate of speed, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

If the operator loads the vehicle to the GAWR on the label, it can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

If the knee guard is not properly attached and the driver is not wearing a seatbelt, the knee guard may not be able to properly restrain the driver's lower body in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

An intermittent loss of power steering assist could increase the risk of a crash.

The incorrect fuse may not properly protect the circuit, allowing an electrical short to occur and increasing the risk of a fire.

If the plate has a hole that is too big, the plate may fail when it stressed such as in the event of a crash, preventing the seat belt from adequately restraining the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury.

The improperly sized opening may allow the exposed metal tip of the boom to contact an electrically energized conductor, such as an overhead wire, increasing the risk of a injury to the boom operator.

If the coupler tears, the trailer can separate from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The unintended turning on or off of accessories such as emergency beacons or automatic snow chains can increase the risk of a crash.

This condition can result in the vehicle moving unintentionally or rolling away, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.

If the driveshaft cracks and separates from the vehicle, it will not be able to move forward. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied upon exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll. Either scenario can increase the risk of a crash.

An increase in pin contact resistance can increase the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and ignition is off.

In the event of a crash, the seat may move forward at a high rate of speed, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

If the driver is unaware that the service brakes have low air pressure, the brakes may apply automatically, increasing the risk of a crash.

Bearing failure may increase the risk of a crash.

If the driver does not have a clear unobstructed view to the back of the vehicle, it can increase the risk of a crash.
