    Steering / Linkages / Tie Rod Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On some heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies which may have been manufactured with trw model 20edl ball sockets, the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket in some applications.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If this condition occurs, the driver can lose steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the ball socket assemblies. This campaign will supersede NHTSA recall nos. 01v-140-005 (mack sc0270) and 00v-246-103 (mack sc0262).

    Steering / Hydraulic Power Assist / Hose, Piping, and Connections

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain class 8 heavy duty trucks equipped with r. H. Sheppard m90 steering gears, an incorrect hose was used for the high-pressure line between the power steering pump and the steering gear. The hose is rated at 2000 PSI, while it should be rated at 3000 PSI.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This hose could develop a leak or burst while in service. Should the line burst, steering control would still be maintained, but a loss of power assist will be experienced.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the steering hose. Owner notification began march 22, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 1-610-709-3011.

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with trw tie rod ends on certain dana/spicer axles (e12001) and mack axles through dana heavy axle (fawl 12). The tie rod and drag link ball stud ends contain bearings that are below the specified case depth and/or hardness.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This can lead to premature wear with possible separation of the ball stud from the socket, increasing the risk of loss of control of the vehicle.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will remove and replace all affected tie rods and drag links with different designed ends. Trucks that have been repaired under recall 00v246103/sc0262 will not be re-recalled. Trucks only inspected and determined to have an acceptable date code under sc0262 will be recalled under this campaign. Owner notification began january 8, 2003.

    Service Brakes, Air / Controls, Pedals and Linkages

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with certain meritor-wabco brake system two and four port relay valves. The valve may stick open when a high-pressure application is released.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    When the valve sticks open, it can result in a total loss of air from either the service or the park brake system. The driver may lose braking ability under a service application, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
