All recalls
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
- What is wrong
- The wiring from the electronic control unit was connected to the wrong wheel sensor or to the wrong brake modulator valve. It is possible that either or both wiring may have occurred at either the front or rear axle or both axles.
- Risk
- Should the anti-lock braking system (ABS) wiring be crossed, it would result in a significant degradation in vehicle stopping distance. A signal would be sent to the wrong brake chamber when a brake imbalance is detected. This condition increases the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the ABS wiring and, if necessary, properly connect.
Recall number 96V174000 · Recall details
Wheels: hubcap/cover
- What is wrong
- The front wheel hub can develop cracks at the wheel mounting studs. When mounted to the hub, the hydraulic brake disc rotor does not properly support the hub at the wheel studs causing excessive stress and fatigue cracks in the hub.
- Risk
- Should sufficient cracks occur, the mounting flange portion of the hub along with the wheel could separate from the vehicle without warning. Should this occur while the vehicle is driven, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and/or the separated wheel and hub could strike another vehicle, pedestrian or property.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install new, redesigned hubs on these vehicles.
Recall number 96V041000 · Recall details
Engine and engine cooling: engine: gasoline: turbo/supercharger
- What is wrong
- Four compression backplate retaining fasteners on the turbo-charger were torqued only hand tight. This allows the fasteners to loosen, and causes oil to leak into the compressor air side of the turbo-charger which, when coupled with the heat precipitated by the compressor and the mixing action of the compressor wheel, can result in an air/oil mixture that fuels the engine.
- Risk
- When this occurs, engine run-on and subsequent loss of operator control via the normal throttle mechanism can occur, which could result in a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Replace the suspect turbo-charger with a new turbo-charger.
Recall number 94V144000 · Recall details
Vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal
- What is wrong
- These buses were built with an additional 3/4 inch thick plywood floor and extra thick floor mats for increased insulation during cold weather. The bottom edge of the accelerator pedal, when depressed, can come in contact with the head of a bolt securing the transmission cover to the floor. The engine throttle may not return to the idle position.
- Risk
- This can result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove 1/2 inch from the bottom of the accelerator pedal.
