    Suspension / Front / Wheel Bearing

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: medium duty trucks and chassis-cabs. An automatic locking front wheel bearing adjusting nut was damaged during installation or removal by incorrect tools or an incorrect torque specification was used.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This condition can cause the nut to rotate freely and lose torque. It could rotate until it is no longer connected to the front spindle and allow the front wheel to separate from the vehicle.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the front wheel bearing adjusting nuts with castle nuts and cotter pins.

  2. 97V091000Received . 2,400 units.

    Power Train / Automatic Transmission / Gear Position Indication (Prndl)

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: medium duty trucks and school bus chassis-cowls equipped with automatic transmissions. The welds that attach the key to the top of the steering column mounted automatic transmission shift linkage may not adequately retain the key, allowing the transmission to be in a gear other than that indicated on the "prndl", or in some cases, "rndl."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The domestic special order (dso) park brake may not engage when the shift lever is placed in the park position, or in the vehicle moving in an unintended direction when the accelerator is pressed. In some vehicles the dso parking brake mechanism also may not be properly adjusted, which can result in the park brake not engaging when the shift lever is placed in the park position, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the steering column shift tube and, if so equipped, to have the dso park brake linkage adjusted.
