    Wheels

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The 19.5 x 6 front steel wheel disc cracks outside the mounting bolt circle and ends at the hub's diameter.

  2. 91V216000Received . 4,350 units.

    Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Some chassis were shipped to body builders with damaged fill or vent opening caps on the right-hand side. If a left-hand fill system was installed on the tank, and there was a damaged right-hand cap, the fuel system would not be sealed.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the fuel system is not sealed, the automatic shut-offsystem used in gas stations would not work, allowing gas to be forced out ofthe defective right-hand opening. The spilled gasoline would result in a firehazard if exposed to a source of ignition.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Install new caps on the vehicles with unused right-hand fill or vent openings.

  3. 91V133000Received . 744 units.

    Parking Brake / Conventional

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The automatic apply transmission mounted parking brake lever pivot bolt "finger" may be loose.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The loose pivot bolt could allow the parking brakes torelease after they have been set manually; if the bolt falls off when theautomatic apply parking brake is set, there is insufficient braking to hold thevehicle if it is parked on an incline. Both of these conditions could result invehicle movement without prior warning and possibly in an accident.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Torque pivot bolt to specifications.

  4. 91V123000Received . 3,085 units.

    Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Disc / Caliper

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Brakes may have missing rear axle outer bearing retaining ring and or greater than specified bearing end play. Either condition allows the rotor and hub assembly to shift position relative to the spindle. This movement can cause brake caliper piston recede farther than normal into the piston bore which would require greater than normal brake fluid displacement when the service brakes are applied.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This condition leads to increased stopping distance, andshould minimum stopping distance be required, it could result in an accidentwithout warning.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Replace both rear axle hubs.
