Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
0
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK

Jun 27, 1978
1,649 units potentially affected
The defect: THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS TO COMPLY TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS". MANUFACTURING TOLERANCES ON THE SWITCH CAN ALLOW THE WARNING BUZZER TO SOUND AT PRESSURES BELOW THE STANDARD 60 PSI. THE STEERING WHEEL BLOCKS THE DRIVER"S FIELD OF VIEW OF THE WARNING LIGHT. SOME OF THE TRUCKS REQUIRE .6 SECONDS, FOR THE AIR PRESSURE TO FALL FROM 95 PSI TO 5 PSI INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED .55 SECONDS. ALSO, ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RELEASE AFTER LOSS OF AIR IN THE REAR BRAKE RESERVOIR BY MEANS OF THE SERVICE BRAKE CONTROL.
The remedy: DEALER WILL INSTALL TWO LOW AIR PRESSURE SWITCHES TO ACTIVATE THE LOW AIR PRESSURE WARNING BUZZER AT A MINIMUM OF 60 PSI. AN AUDIBLE WARNING BUZZER WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED ON VEHICLES WHERE THE ANTI-LOCK WARNING LIGHT MIGHT BE OBSCURED BY THE STEERING WHEEL, AND VALVES AND FITTINGS WILL BE INSTALLED TO DECREASE THE TIME NECESSARY TO EXHAUST THE AIR FROM THE BRAKE CHAMBERS.
