THE HANDHOLD MOUNTING SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A TUBULAR HANDLE HELD IN THREE PLACES BY CAST ALUMINUM BRACKETS WHICH ARE, IN TURN, ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST MUFFLER HEAT SHIELD. VIBRATION FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSES THE HANDHOLD PARTS TO WEAR THIN AND COULD CAUSE THE HANDHOLD TO GIVE WAY UNDER THE WEIGHT OF A DRIVER. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. CORRECTION: REPLACE THE HANDHOLD WITH A MODIFIED DESIGN WHICH UTILIZES A RUBBER ISOLATOR. ADD A PLASTIC SLEEVE TO THE CENTER BRACKET FOR ISOLATION.
A failure of this component (structure) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
THE TUBULAR GRABHANDLE FOR CAB INGRESS/EGRESS IS HELD IN PLACE BY THREE BRACKETS AT TOP, MIDDLE AND BOTTOM OF THE TUBE. THE CENTRE BRACKET CONTAINS A RIVET WHICH SECURES THE TUBE IN THE BRACKET. THE DEFECT OCCURS IF THE RIVET IS NOT IN THE PROPER ALIGNMENT, WHICH RESULTS IN SMALL GAP BETWEEN THE RIVET HEAD AND THE BRACKET. THIS COULD ALLOW A RING FINGER TO BE CAUGHT IN THE GAP AND RESULT IN INJURY TO A PERSON GETTING OUT OF THE CAB.
A failure of this component (structure) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

THE ROCKWELL "FF" SERIES FRONT AXLE BEAM ASSEMBLIES MAY CONTAIN CRACKS AT THE AXLE BEAM FORGED ENDS WHERE THE STEERING KNUCKLES ARE ATTACHED BY THE KING PINS. THESE CRACKS MAY LEAD TO A FAILURE OF THE AXLE BEAM END UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND COULD CAUSE A COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE WHEELS, TIRES, BRAKE ASSEMBLIES AND STEERING KNUCKLES FROM THE VEHICLE, LEADING TO A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND POSSIBLE CRASH.

THE HOLE IN THE THROTTLE LEVER AND THE STOP PIN MAY BE MISMATCHED WHICH COULD ALLOW THE PIN TO LOOSEN AND FALL OUT. SHOULD THIS HAPPEN, THE TENSION SPRING ATTACHED TO THE THROTTLE LEVER ASSEMBLY WOULD SEPARATE FROM THE LEVER CAUSING THE LEVER TO MOVE TO FULL THROTTLE POSITION, IDLE POSITION OR REMAIN IN THE POSITION THE LEVER WAS IN AT THE MOMENT OF FAILURE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

THE BALL STUD IN THE REAR (OR AXLE) END OF THE DRAG LINK CAN SEPARATE FROM THE ASSEMBLY WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING TO THE DRIVER. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH.

THE SPRING BRAKE AIR CHAMBERS ARE POSITIONED TOO CLOSELY TO A BOLT ON THE SUSPENSION. IF CONTACT BETWEEN THE CHAMBER AND THE BOLT OCCURRED WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE, DAMAGE TO THE PARKING BRAKE AIR CHAMBER COULD RESULT. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE SPRING BRAKES TO AUTOMATICALLY APPLY. SHOULD THIS OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD POSE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO TRAFFIC SAFETY. 2FV8HYKY9EV221499 - VEHICLE LOCATED IN ONTARIO
