Hazard: SEPARATION OF THE WHEEL COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE 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: USERS COULD SUSTAIN BURNS SHOULD THE SEAT COVER OVERHEAT.

Hazard: FAILURE OF ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS MAY RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS CAN RESULT IN SEAM WELD FRACTURE WHEN TORQUE IS APPLIED. ONCE THE TUBE SEAM WELD IS FRACTURED, THE DRIVELINE MAY BECOME INOPERABLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE SLACK ADJUSTER HOUSING WERE TO BREAK, THE WHEEL BRAKE TO WHICH THE SLACK ADJUSTER IS ATTACHED WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE REDUCED BRAKING CAPACITY AND, IF MOUNTED ON THE STEER AXLE, THE VEHICLE COULD PULL TO ONE SIDE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.

Hazard: FAILURE OF THE TEETER LEVER ASSEMBLY WILL CAUSE THE REAR SIDE EXIT DOOR TO OPERATE IMPROPERLY. A PASSENGER LEANING ON OR FORCED AGAINST THE DOOR COULD FALL THROUGH THE DOOR AND SUSTAIN INJURIES.

Hazard: A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR SHOULD THE ENGINE STALL WHILE IN USE.

Hazard: IF THE SLACK ADJUSTER HOUSING WERE TO BREAK, THE WHEEL BRAKE TO WHICH THE SLACK ADJUSTER IS ATTACHED WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE REDUCED BRAKING CAPACITY AND, IF MOUNTED ON THE STEER AXLE, THE VEHICLE COULD PULL TO ONE SIDE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.

Hazard: REDUCED JOINT STRENGTH OF THE SPINDLE OF THE AXLE COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Hazard: AN ENGINE STALL WHILE IN TRAFFIC CAN RESULT IN A CRASH, WHICH COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH TO THE RIDER.

Hazard: THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING.

Hazard: IF SUFFICIENT ARCING OCCURS, THE FUSE HOLDER MAY MELT, AND MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY FLAME, SMOKE AND POTENTIAL FIRE.

Hazard: THIS CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND/OR THE CAUSING THE CRANK SHAFT TO FAIL. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: IF THERE IS A SEPARATION OF THE BALL STUD FROM THE HOUSING, THE DRIVER CAN LOOSE STEERING CONTROL, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED OR AT ALL, AND THEREFORE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES.

Hazard: SEPARATION OF THE WHEEL COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE 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: THIS ANOMALY MAY CAUSE THE WELD JOINT TO FAIL AND THE BOX END TO ABRUPTLY SEPARATE DURING NORMAL USE. IF THE WELD FAILS UNEXPECTEDLY, THE WINCH BAR COULD STRIKE THE USER OR CAUSE THE USER TO LOSE HIS OR HER BALANCE AND FALL (ESPECIALLY WHEN THE USER IS POSITIONED ON TOP OF THE TRAILER OR ITS CARGO DURING USE).

Hazard: THIS CAN PRODUCE SMOKE AND POSSIBLY FIRE IN THE MOTOR VEHICLE.

Hazard: IF THE SPRING CLIP BREAKS, IT COULD RESULT IN A LOOSE CONNECTION OF THE BREAKER TO THE STAB. OVER TIME, THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE, ARCING OR THERMAL DAMAGE AT THE CONNECTION POINT WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Hazard: THE WHEELS MAY BREAK WHILE IN USE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: A LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAD TO A CHANGE IN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL AND, OVER TIME, A DEGRADATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: AN INSUFFICIENT RESPONSE TIME CAN RESULT IN POWER NOT BEING SHUT-OFF IN SUFFICIENT TIME TO PREVENT A FIRE.

Hazard: THESE CRACKS CAN PROPAGATE AND CAUSE THE SPINDLE TO DETACH FROM THE AXLE TUBE, RESULTING IN THE SEPARATION OF THE WHEEL END FROM THE VEHICLE, CREATING A ROAD HAZARD THAT INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH TO OTHER VEHICLES, AND COMPROMISES THE DRIVER'S CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: MISSING WELDS COULD ALLOW THE AXLE TO ROLL OUT OF POSITION AND POTENTIALLY IMPACT THE HANDLING OF THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THIS LEAK MAY LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. THIS CONDITION MAY ALSO POSE A RISK OF ASPHYXIATION.

Hazard: THIS COULD LEAD TO HOSE FAILURE WHICH WOULD RESULT IN PARTIAL BRAKE FAILURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: SHOULD THIS OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
