Hazard: SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WILL IMPAIR THE VEHICLE OPERATOR, POSSIBLE RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: THIS COULD CAUSE THE SEAT BELT LATCH TO BECOME DISENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING IN A VEHICLE CRASH OR DURING EPISODES OF HIGH SEAT BELT LOADING.

Hazard: THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PARKING BRAKE NOT RELEASING AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF COMPLETE ENGINE OIL WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN AND INCREASE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR A CRASH.

Hazard: THE CIRCUIT BOARDS IN THE SWITCHES COULD HEAT UP , POSSIBLY PRODUCE A FLAME OR FIRE, AND CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Hazard: IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ACTIVATE PROPERLY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, IT COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.

Hazard: THE AXLE COULD SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING AND RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: A FAILED COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE TUBE COULD DEPLETE THE AIR SYSTEM AND MAY CAUSE THE PARKING BRAKES TO APPLY. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP UNEXPECTEDLY AND RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE PRIMARY AIR CIRCUIT IS DAMAGED, THE BRAKES WILL NOT APPLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: AN INOPERABLE SLACK ADJUSTER WILL CAUSE THE FRONT BRAKES TO WEAR UNEVENLY AND MAY EVENTUALLY CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: IF LEFT UNDETECTED OR CORRECTED IT COULD LEAD TO THE SEPARATION OF THE FIFTH WHEEL TOP PLATE FROM ITS MOUNTING STRUCTURE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH

Hazard: THIS COULD RESULT IN A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THIS COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: THE SINGLE BAND CLAMP LOSES ITS CLAMPING ABILITY WHILE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSING THE TAIL PIPE TO LOOSEN AND POTENTIALLY FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE. THE PIPE COULD COME OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND GET INTO THE PATH OF OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PROPERLY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Hazard: ANY RESULTANT REDUCED VISIBILITY COULD CAUSE A CRASH.

Hazard: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE RESTRAINT MAY NOT CONTAIN THE OCCUPANT AS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY REGULATION 393.76 "SLEEPER BERTHS," AND MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Hazard: IF THE TERMINAL BREAKS OFF, THE CAB WILL LOSE ALL POWER, RESULTING IN COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND ENGINE SHUTDOWN, WHICH MAY RESULT IN A CRASH AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Hazard: THE WIPERS CYCLE NORMALLY, BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF WASHER FLUID THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT BE ADEQUATELY CLEANED, WHICH COULD AFFECT DRIVER VISIBILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: A DIRECT SHORT MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD AND CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Hazard: THE COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING FACTORS MAY COLLECTIVELY RESULT IN AN UNREASONABLE RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY: POTENTIAL FIRE AT A WHEEL END, HIGH INCIDENT RATES OF STUCK CALIPERS, AND EVACUATION AND CONTAINMENT CONCERNS RELATING TO MULTIPLE PASSENGERS.

Hazard: WITHOUT THE BRAKE MONITOR MODULE, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON DURING THE INITIAL KEY-ON CYCLE AND WILL NOT COME ON TO WARN THE OPERATOR IF THERE IS A LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM, A LOSS OF POWER STEERING FLOW, OR IF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BOOSTER MOTOR IS NOT FUNCTIONING.

Hazard: THIS MOVEMENT COULD CAUSE INDIVIDUAL BRAKE COMPONENTS TO FAIL OR EVENTUALLY FATIGUE ALL THE ANCHOR PLATE MOUNTING BOLTS. IF ALL THE BOLTS BREAK DUE TO FAILURE, A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING AT A WHEEL END COULD OCCUR.

Hazard: IF A PINCH BOLT IS MISSING OR VIBRATES LOOSE, THE SHAFT COULD SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN OR STEERING GEAR, AND /OR ALLOW SLIPPAGE BETWEEN THE JOINED SHAFTS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL, WITHOUT WARNING, AFTER THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER HAS BEEN SET, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: SUCH BLOCKAGE MAY SLOW THE DELIVERY AND EXHAUST OF AIR TO AND FROM THE TRAILER BRAKES WHEN THEY ARE OPERATED BY THIS HAND-OPERATED TRAILER CONTROL VALVE.

Hazard: THE MELTING OF THE LINE COULD RESULT IN IMMEDIATE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THE MISSING SHELLS COULD ALLOW THE LARGER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS TO BECOME LOOSE AND POSSIBLE BREAK OFF INSIDE THE MODULE DURING ENGINE OPERATION. DEPENDING ON WHAT ELECTRICAL COMPONENT COMES OFF, THE EFFECT ON ENGINE OPERATION COULD RESULT IN ROUGH RUNNING, LOSS OF POWER, NO START, OR IN THE MOST SEVERE CASE, IMMEDIATE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE NUT LOOSENS AND COMES COMPLETELY OFF THE DRAG LINK BALL STUD, THE DRAG LINK COULD DETACH RESULTING IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.

Hazard: THIS COULD LEAD TO A DIRECT ELECTRICAL SHORT TO THE BATTERIES. IF THE STUD BREAKS OFF, THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE COULD SHORT DIRECTLY TO GROUND, WHICH CAN GENERATE HEAT AND SPARKS CAUSING A FIRE.

Hazard: THE NUTS COULD WORK LOOSE OR FALL OFF ALLOWING THE BOLTS TO FATIGUE AND FAIL THE CONNECTION BETWEEN A MAIN SUPPORT MEMBER BUSHING AND FRAME HANGER. SEPARATION OF THE MAIN SUPPORT MEMBER ASSEMBLY FROM THE FRAME MOUNTED HANGER BRACKET COULD RESULT INCREASING THE RISK OF SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

Hazard: IF THE PINCH BOLT NUT EXPERIENCES THREAD STRIPPING, THE YOKE CONNECTION OF THE STEERING SHAFT TO THE STEERING GEAR BOX COULD FAIL AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.
