Wheels / Multi Piece
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Some of the dual wheel assemblies were provided with ford wheel centers which do not seat properly on toyota brake drums. This is due to a machine screw which protrudes from the drum. The mismating of wheels with brake drums can cause stress cracking around the mounting lugs.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Vehicles will be repaired at no cost to owner.
Report filed by DOLPHIN RV PRODUCTS INC.. The campaign has 1 make, model and year entry.
84V121000Received 5 Oct 1984. 54 units.
Suspension / Rear
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicles were manufactured with rear axles and rear bearings that are inadequate for the load that is applied on them. Carrying heavy loads and traveling on rough roadways may cause deterioration of the bearings. When the bearings become worn, heat builds up in the axle and bearing, and may result in a broken axle.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
The rear axle assembly including wheels and tires will be replaced.
