Hazard: FRACTURE OF THE BALL STUD ON THE CONTROL ARM CAN RESULT IN IMPAIRED STEERING AND HANDLING, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION COULD REDUCE BRAKING ABILITY AND/OR LEAD TO LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, A NONCOMPLIANT HATCH MAY NOT PROVIDE A MEANS OF READILY ACCESSIBLE EGRESS, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

Hazard: THE WEARER OF A NONCOMPLIANT HELMET CAN SUSTAIN SERIOUS INJURIES IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

Hazard: AN UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT OR COLLAPSE OF THE DRIVER’S SEAT COULD AFFECT VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: PROLONGED USE OF THE SYSTEM IN THESE APPLICATIONS CAN RESULT IN THE DEGRADATION OF THE BEARING GREASE, THEREBY POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A BEARING FAILURE AND SUBSEQUENT WHEEL END FIRE.

Hazard: A TANK THAT IS NOT CERTIFIED TO BE CRASHWORTHY MAY POSE A RISK OF RUPTURING IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE AND THE RESULTANT INJURIES.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION COULD ALLOW THE WHEELS TO LOOSEN, LEADING TO WHEEL SEPARATION, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH. A DETACHED WHEEL ALSO BECOMES A ROAD HAZARD.

Hazard: IF THIS INCREASED VIBRATION WARNING SIGN IS IGNORED, CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE DRIVE COUPLING CAN OCCUR. THE DRIVESHAFT MAY DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION RESULTING IN LOSS OF DRIVE AND LOSS OF TRANSMISSION PARK FUNCTIONALITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH AND/OR INJURY.

Hazard: A FUEL LEAK COULD CREATE A ROAD HAZARD, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ALSO A FUEL LEAK IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.

Hazard: IF A LEAK OCCURS AND REMAINS UNDETECTED, THE RIDER MAY HAVE REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH, LEADING TO INJURY OR DEATH.

Hazard: IF THE ASSEMBLY SEPARATES DURING INSTALLATION, IT COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO THE INSTALLER. IF THE ASSEMBLY SEPARATES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT COULD RESULT IN SECONDARY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: THE E/H BRAKE ACTUATOR PROVIDES BRAKING POWER TO THE TRAILER BRAKES. FAILURE OF THE ACTUATOR CAN RESULT IN THE LOSS OF BRAKING EFFORT BY THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: WITHOUT WARNING MESSAGES, THE DRIVER MAY CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT GOES INTO A SAFE MODE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF POWER OR POSSIBLY A STALL. EITHER CONDITION INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE VEHICLE OPERATOR RECEIVES AND IGNORES MULTIPLE WARNINGS INDICATING THE NEED FOR OPERATOR INTERVENTION, THE ENGINE MAY SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. UNEXPECTED EMERGENCY VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTDOWN UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS COULD HAMPER RESCUE OPERATIONS AND PLACE THE PUBLIC AT RISK.

Hazard: THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD MAY SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN INJURY OR A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN WHEEL SEPARATION, WHICH COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THE SHOCK EYE COULD SEPARATE FROM THE BASE OF THE SHOCK CAUSING FAILURE OF THE SHOCK ABSORBER. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: LOSS OF COOLANT CAN RESULT IN STRANDED VEHICLES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE BUS IS STRUCK FROM BEHIND, THE SEAT BACK MAY FAIL, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT'S OCCUPANT.

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.
