Hazard: If the retaining ring fails, the oil cooler hose may leak, leaving a large deposit on the roadway, which may present a hazard to other vehicles. If any of the oil sprays onto hot engine components, there would be an increased risk of a vehicle fire.

Hazard: IF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES AN AIR LEAK IN EITHER THE PRIMARY OR THE SECONDARY SYSTEM, THE VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: IMPROPER ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HEADLAMPS OR THE LOW BEAM ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM MAY RESULT IN HEADLAMP LIGHTING THAT DOES NOT FULLY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD SURFACE OR MAY INHIBIT THE ABILITY OF MOTORISTS TO SEE VEHICLES WHICH CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS MAY RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.

Hazard: OPERATION OF A VEHICLE WITH INCORRECT AIR BRAKE APPLY/RELEASE TIMING MAY RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE WITHOUT WARNING TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: OPERATION OF A VEHICLE WITH INCORRECT AIR BRAKE APPLY/RELEASE TIMING MAY RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.

Hazard: INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE RIGHT SIDE STEERING DRAG LINK AND/OR IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT OF THE STEERING STOPS COULD ALLOW THE TIRE TO CONTACT THE RIGHT SIDE STEERING DRAG LINK DURING A FULL LEFT TURN. CONTINUED OPERATION WITH THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE CONTACTING THE RIGHT SIDE STEERING DRAG LINK MAY RESULT IN STRUCTURAL WEAKENING AND BENDING OF THE DRAG LINK. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND/OR CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT WARNING TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.

Hazard: INCORRECT LENGTH OF AIR BRAKE HOSE WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: CONTINUED OPERATION WITH A CRACKED DRIVE COUPLER COULD RESULT IN THE COUPLER BECOMING BROKEN AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AND NOT RESTART, INCREASING THE RISK OF 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: THIS MAY MISLEAD THE VEHICLE OPERATOR INTO PLACING THE SHIFT LEVER INTO THE INDICATED PARK POSITION AND EXITING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE. THIS COULD CAUSE UNEXPECTED OR UNCONTROLLED MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING WHICH MAY RESULT IN VEHICLE 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 EXHAUST BRAKE AND MUFFLER ASSEMBLY COULD SEPARATE FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE AND BE DISCHARGED FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THAT THE EXHAUST PIPE CRACKS COMPLETELY THROUGH WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH OR IMPEDE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY.

Hazard: THIS COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Hazard: THIS COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Hazard: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

Hazard: IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WERE TO LEAK OUT, THE VEHICLE MAY STALL, POSSIBLY PUTTING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AT RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: TIRE DEFLATION COULD OCCUR IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS MAY HAVE RESULTED IN DECREASED TORQUE TO THE STEERING GEAR BOX MOUNTING BOLTS DURING ASSEMBLY.

Hazard: THE FUEL FILTER SUPPORT BRACKET COULD THEN COME IN CONTACT WITH THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION COULD ALLOW THE HOSE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE ENGINE BLOCK, CAUSING THE HOSE TO WEAR OUT.

Hazard: WATER ENTRY INTO THE INTERNAL COIL WINDINGS OF THE SOLENOID CAN CAUSE THE COIL WINDINGS TO SHORT CIRCUIT AND NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START.

Hazard: TIRE DEFLATION COULD OCCUR IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS COULD BE REDUCED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE WIRING HARNESS EXPOSURE OR BREAKAGE OF THE WIRING. THIS WIRING BREAKAGE CAN CAUSE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO VARIOUS VEHICLE COMPONENTS OR SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS.

Hazard: FAILURE OF THE WIRING HARNESS CAN CAUSE LOSS OFELECTRICAL POWER TO VARIOUS VEHICLE COMPONENTS OR SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE HEADLIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS. LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING OR LOSS OF WINDSHIELD WIPER FUNCTION DURING HEAVY RAIN CAN INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
