Recall campaignsA 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.

Carrying an NHTSA advisoryCampaigns where NHTSA told owners not to drive the vehicle, or to park it outside, until the repair is done.

Open 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.

00V022000

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

Jan 24, 2000
829 units potentially affected
The defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE ANTILOCK TRACTION RELAY VALVES WERE INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED BY THE SUPPLIER. AN EXTRA CHECK VALVE WAS INSTALLED WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.
The risk: THE REAR BRAKES CAN BE APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY DURING A TRACTION EVENT AND NOT RELEASE UNTIL THE AIR SYSTEM PRESSURE IS DEPLETED.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THESE VEHICLES AND ALL ANTILOCK TRACTION RELAY VALVES FOUND DEFECTIVE WILL BE REPLACED.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES

May 4, 1999
4,553 units potentially affected
The defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH DANA/SPRAGUE WINDSHIELD WIPER ASSEMBLIES. THE KNURLED PIVOT SHAFT (WHICH OPERATES THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM) IS WELDED TO A LEVER, WHICH CONNECTS TO LINKAGE FROM THE WIPER MOTOR. THE WELD AT THE PIVOT SHAFT TO LEVER CAN FAIL.
The risk: SHOULD A FAILURE OCCUR DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE OPERATOR'S VISION WOULD BE PARTIALLY OBSCURED.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WIPER SYSTEM, CONDUCTING A "STALL" TEST TO VALIDATE THE INTEGRITY OF THE WELD. ALL WIPER ASSEMBLIES FAILING THIS TEST WILL BE REPLACED.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR

Mar 16, 1999
1,547 units potentially affected
The defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS, TRANSIT AND SCHOOL BUSES, EQUIPPED WITH MERITOR AIR BRAKE AUTOMATIC SLACK ADJUSTERS. SOME OF THE AUTOMATIC SLACK ADJUSTERS HAD INSUFFICIENT TORQUE APPLIED TO THE GUIDE PAWL CAP SCREW.
The risk: WITHOUT SUFFICIENT TORQUE ON THE GUIDE PAWL CAP SCREW, THE BRAKES COULD GRADUALLY LOSE ADJUSTMENT, INCREASING THE VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL CHECK THE TORQUE ON THE AUTOMATIC SLACK ADJUSTER GUIDE PAWL. IF THERE IS NO TORQUE, THE BRAKES WILL BE ADJUSTED AND THE GUIDE PAWL WILL BE TIGHTENED TO 15-20 FT. LBS.

99V014002

SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING

Mar 15, 1999
4,024 units potentially affected
The defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS 8 HEAVY DUTY TRUCK CHASSIS EQUIPPED WITH 16,000 LB., 18,000 LB., OR 20,000 LB. HEAVY DUTY STEERING AXLES. THE INNER WHEEL BEARING CONE FOR THE STEERING AXLE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY DOES NOT PROPERLY FIT ONTO THE NAVISTAR STEERING AXLE SPINDLE ASSEMBLY. IMPROPER FIT OF THE BEARING TO THE SPINDLE INCREASES THE STRESS LEVELS TO THE STEERING AXLE SPINDLE WHICH COULD CAUSE SPINDLE FAILURE.
The risk: IF THE SPINDLE FAILS, A LOSS OF DRIVER CONTROL COULD OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE LEFT AND RIGHT HUB/DRUM ASSEMBLIES FROM THE STEERING AXLES AND REPLACE THE INNER WHEEL BEARING CONES AND CUPS.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A 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.
Safety investigation
NHTSA 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.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
