    Wheels / Hub

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The aluminum hubs on the involved vehicles may be subject to failure due to cracks that may develop around the base of the inner bearing cup. These cracks may spread around the barrel of the hub and may lead to fracture and hub separation. The separated hub is retained on the axle spindle by the wheel bearing adjusting nut.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealer will inspect and will replace front axle aluminum hubs with steel ones, without charge.

  2. 77V223000Received . 8 units.

    Trailer Hitches / Fifth Wheel Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On the involved vehicles, the mounting tabs used to mount the fifth wheel assembly to the chassis in place of the normal continuous angle construction could crack. These cracks can develop in the areas where the tabs are welded to the side of the fifth wheel assembly. If these cracks go undetected, the fifth wheel could eventually separate from the chassis.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealer will modify the fifth wheel mounting without charge to owner.

  3. 77V093000Received . 293 units.

    Vehicle Speed Control / Linkages

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The engine mounted accelerator relay shaft can be contacted by the cab structure due to variations in the cab to engine relationship combined with sufficient relative motion between the engine and the cab. This could cause the accelerator to bind in position, resulting in loss of control over vehicle speed.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealer will relocate the accelerator linkage at no cost to owner.

  4. 77V007000Received . 71 units.

    Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The hoses on the involved vehicles may not have been properly installed. As a result, air leakage could occur. This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 106, "brake hoses". Complete failure will however, actuate the tractor protection valve and the trailer parking brakes will be applied automatically.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the hose assembly, free of charge.
