Seat Belts / Front / Anchorage
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Driver seats have safety belt tether straps which are improperly anchored to the steel seat base and not to the floor as recommended.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Due to improper anchoring location, the spacer whichholds the safety belt away from the seat base is restricted by the tether strapstrap when the seat moves, causing increased slack in the belt that would notproperly restrain driver in an accident or sudden stop.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Move the anchor point for safety belt tether strap, revise the modesty panel to add clearance, and replace the icp bars.
Report filed by TRANSPORTATION MFG. CORP.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 15 Jul 1991. The campaign has 9 make, model and year entries.
79V188000Received 15 Aug 1979. 748 units.
Service Brakes, Air
Defect, in the NHTSA record
The involved vehicles have the following non-compliances: the low air warning signal may not activate until the service reservoir pressure is below 60 PSI. In addition, the brake release time may exceed 0.55 seconds at the right front wheel, which constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems".
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealer will adjust the pin switch to the proper pressure to bring the vehicle into compliance with safety standard no. 121.
Report filed by TRANSPORTATION MFG. CORP.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 18 Oct 1979. The campaign has 3 make, model and year entries.
78V008000Received 16 Jan 1978. 527 units.
Service Brakes, Air / Supply
Defect, in the NHTSA record
The involved vehicles may not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "modulated emergency braking". The "o" rings in the shuttle valve may develop slight leaks in cold weather. In addition, neoprene washers used on these "o" rings may eventually expand or pucker in cold climates, making it possible for the shuttle piston to become trapped by the inner-circumferences of the washers. This would force the emergency brakes to the "on" position and would prevent them from being released.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
The dealer will replace the two neoprene washers with glass filled teflon washers that will not be affected by cold climates.
Report filed by TRANSIT MANUFACTURING,INC. The campaign has 2 make, model and year entries.
