Vehicles equipped with Caterpillar 3406B or 3306B engines may experience a loss of the governor servo pin. This would result in the engine and vehicle continuing at their same respective speeds until a change in load occurs (i.e. terrain, brakes or clutch) and could reduce engine braking with a subsequent increase in stopping distances and the risk of a crash. Correction: The rack servo cylinder assembly will be replaced on affected engines.
