On certain trucks equipped with cummins isc or paccar px8 engines, the jumper wire between the grid heater relay to the fuse block has been routed in such a way that the potential exists for it to rub against the radiator support.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The suspect wire is down stream of the fuse; this chaff point could cause the 250 amp charge wire to arc, potentially causing a fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record

Service Brakes, Air
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Certain trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." the trailer light line may have been routed using too tight of a bend radius. This routing method could cause the wires within the harness plug to be pulled away from the chassis plug resulting in an intermittent or complete electrical power loss to the trailer.
