Hazard: INSUFFICIENT TORQUE OF THE STEERING ARM BOLTS MAY RESULT IN BOLT FATIGUE AND FRACTURE AND/OR ARM SEPARATION, THEREBY POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THE WHEEL-HUB AND AXLE SHAFT CAN SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.

Hazard: WITHOUT HEAT TREATING, A BEARING MAY SUFFER PRE-MATURE FAILURE WHICH MAY RESULT IN A FIRE AT THE WHEEL OR WHEEL SEPARATION THAT COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.

Hazard: IN THE EVENT THAT THE REAR TANK AIR PRESSURE WAS DEPLETED, BRAKING FUNCTION WOULD BE LOST AND THE AUTOMATIC ENGAGEMENT OF THE SPRING BRAKES WILL NOT OCCUR, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.

Hazard: IF A BRAKE IS NOT USED OR IS DEFECTIVE AND THE PARK PAWL DOES NOT ENGAGE, THE VEHICLE MAY BE ABLE TO MOVE AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE INJURY TO THE OPERATOR OR PERSONS IN THE VICINITY OF THE MOVING VEHICLE OR DAMAGE PROPERTY.

Hazard: IF THE BOLTS WERE TO LOOSEN IT COULD CAUSE A VIBRATION IN THE DRIVELINE. IF THIS VIBRATION WERE IGNORED, THE U-JOINT ATTACHMENT BOLTS COULD SHEAR AND A PORTION OF THE PROPELLER SHAFT COULD SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, THUS FALLING ONTO THE SURFACE OF THE ROADWAY AND BE STRUCK BY A VEHICLE RESULTING IN A CRASH.

Hazard: THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COULD FALL ONTO THE ROADWAY AND BE STRUCK BY A FOLLOWING VEHICLE RESULTING IN A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION WOULD PLACE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE OTHER EXHAUST SUPPORT DEVICES AND COULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FAILURES. IF THIS CONDITION WERE UNDETECTED IT ULTIMATELY COULD RESULT IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE, THUS FALLING ONTO THE SURFACE OF THE ROADWAY. IF THIS FALLEN PORTION OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS STRUCK BY A VEHICLE IT COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE DRIVE COUPLER BOLTS WERE TO LOOSEN IT COULD CAUSE A VIBRATION IN THE DRIVELINE. IF THIS VIBRATION WERE IGNORED, THE DRIVE COUPLER BOLTS COULD SHEAR AND THE COUPLING BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TORQUE CONVERTER WOULD NOT TRANSMIT POWER. THIS ULTIMATELY COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS GAP COULD ALLOW THE U-BOLTS TO LOOSEN AND/OR CAUSE THE LOWER SPRING SEAT TO CRACK. THE AXLE COULD BECOME MISALIGNED AND/OR SEPARATED FROM THE MOUNTINGS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS WOULD DISABLE THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM, STOP THE SUPPLY OF AIR TO THE AIR TANK, AND MAY RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT BRAKING POWER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE BOLTS WERE TO LOOSEN, IT COULD CAUSE A VIBRATION IN THE DRIVELINE. IF THIS VIBRATION WERE IGNORED, THE PROPELLER SHAFT COULD SEPARATE FROM THE MATING FLANGE. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND/OR RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS COULD REDUCE STEERING CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE MIRROR GLASS IS LOST, THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE TRAFFIC APPROACHING FROM THE REAR INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WILL ALERT THE DRIVER OF THE PROBLEM. IF THE WARNING LIGHT IS IGNORED BY THE DRIVER, THIS COULD ULTIMATELY CAUSE A FIRE AND THE ENGINE TO STALL.

Hazard: IF THE DRIVE BELT COMES OFF, THE ALTERNATOR WARNING LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE. IF THE WARNING IS IGNORED, THIS CONDITION COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER (ENGINE STALL) INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: ANY OF THESE OCCURRENCES COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: FAILURE OF THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WILL LEAD TO THE FAILURE OF THE TRUCK'S PARKING BRAKE. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE TRUCK ROLLING AWAY WHILE PARKED WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: LOOSE AIR BRAKE LINES CAN BECOME DISCONNECTED OR LEAK WHICH COULD CAUSE A DECREASE IN BRAKING ABILITY OR RESULTING IN APPLICATION OF THE PARKING BRAKE WITHOUT IT BEING ACTIVATED. THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. ALSO IF THE DRIVE SHAFT BOLTS ARE LEFT LOOSE, THE DRIVE SHAFT COULD BECOME DISENGAGED MAKING THE VEHICLE IMMOVABLE. IF THE ABS SENSORS ARE NOT SECURED PROPERLY USING THE CORRECT CLIPS, THE ABS SENSORS COULD GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT.

Hazard: INCREASED WEAR FOR THE DRAGLINK CONNECTIONS CAN OCCUR CREATING A NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY. IF THIS CONDITION WAS IGNORED, A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COULD OCCUR WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE DRIVE BELT COMES OFF, THE ALTERNATOR WARNING LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE. IF THE WARNING IS IGNORED, THIS CONDITION COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER (ENGINE STALL) INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THE BATTERY BOX COULD BECOME LOOSE AND POSSIBLY FALL RESULTING IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

Hazard: THIS CAN CAUSE THE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLTS TO BECOME LOOSE AND BACK OUT. THE CALIPER COULD BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE ROTOR ASSEMBLY WHICH WOULD CAUSE A DECREASE IN BRAKING ABILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS COULD CAUSE A DECREASE OF BRAKING ABILITY OR THE PARKING BRAKE TO APPLY WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL MAY OCCUR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL BECOME WEDGED IN THE FULL THROTTLE POSITION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

Hazard: THE PIPE COULD FRACTURE CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS COULD CAUSE THE YOKE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAFT TO SEPARATE WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD. ALSO, THIS COULD CAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO BE ACTIVATED. THE REVERSE BACKUP LIGHT AND BUZZER STAYS ON.

Hazard: INCREASED BRAKING DISTANCES CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
