Vehicle Equipment Recalls

Hazard: Noncompliant warning triangles are at an increased risk of performance failure, and thereby may increase the risk of a crash or other safety hazards to motorists by failing to warn other motorists of an impending hazard.

Hazard: A fracture of the spring hanger while traveling could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the welded bond fails and results in a loss of torque to the rear wheels, the vehicle operator may be unable to move the vehicle, or may experience deceleration if the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Hazard: A vehicle that runs out of fuel and stalls has an increased risk of a crash.

Hazard: Warning triangles that do not properly reflect light may fail to warn others that a vehicle is parked, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the rim separates from the center part of the wheel, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Hazard: Leaking gear oil can contaminate the brake friction material, reducing the vehicle's braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: A joint bearing that fails prematurely may cause separation of the u-joint resulting in a complete loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: In the event of a crash, the rider may be at an increased risk of a head injury.

Hazard: In the event of a crash, the driver may be at an increased risk of a head injury.

Hazard: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

Hazard: An engine shut down while a vehicle is in motion increases the risk of a crash due to, among other things, a sudden loss of motive power and loss of power steering and braking capability. In addition, safety systems such as air bags are deactivated, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Hazard: Without the required markings, owners may not be able to identify affected warning triangles involved in a recall involving their reflectivity and visibility. Triangles that have reduced visibility increase the risk of another vehicle crashing into the parked vehicle.

Hazard: If the wiper arm disengages during use, the wipers will fail to operate during periods of poor visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: The helmet may not adequately protect the wearer in the event of a crash.

Hazard: If the replacement fuel pumps begin to leak fluid in the presence of an ignition source, it will increase the risk of a vehicle fire.

Hazard: Detachment of the shoe steel from the brake lining can reduce braking force, increasing stopping distance or could result in a wheel lock up condition, rendering the vehicle undriveable. Either condition could result in a vehicle crash.

Hazard: If the suspension fluid tank mount fractures and the tank separates from the chassis, the tank may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: A failure of the steering system may result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: In the event of a crash, using one of the affected helmets increases the wearer's risk of injury.

Hazard: Weak spots in the axle beam may result in sudden axle failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Hazard: The floor mat could shift such that it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, preventing its return to an idle position, which could result in unintended vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the high-pressure fuel and vent lines may become damaged, a fuel leak may result, increasing the risk of a fire. Additionally, the fuel line may become pinched disrupting the flow of fuel to the engine, increasing the risk of a stall.

Hazard: If the valve is stuck closed, the flow of fuel would be blocked from the fuel container to the engine. Such a condition poses a safety risk to service personnel as there is no safe way to depressurize the fuel system and service the subject valve when it is stuck in the closed position, increasing the risk of injury to the service personnel. The affected fuel container may also become over-pressurized if the stuck valve goes undetected for a period of time, or is not repaired in a timely manner, and the ambient temperature increases significantly.

Hazard: Failure of the pivot bolts may cause the suspension and attached axle to separate from the trailer that it was connected to, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the brake master cylinder piston does not return to the proper position, the front brake pressure would not be relieved and the front wheel may lock up, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If a panel, or pieces of it, detach from the unit, they may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the ignition switch moves from the run position to accessory, the car would stall and the air bags will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury to the occupants.
