On certain vehicles, the Bosch Zero Offset Pin Slide (ZOPS) hydraulic disc brakes may experience calipers sticking in the applied position, which can result in excessive or abnormal heat generation at one or more of the brakes. In bus applications, the combination of the following factors may collectively result in an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety: potential fire at a wheel end, high incident rates of stuck calipers, and evacuation and containment concerns relating to multiple passengers. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs. This is an expansion of Recall 2003053.
A failure of this component (brakes) 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).
On certain vehicles, the primary and secondary air supply hoses from the foot valve to the air tanks were reversed at the tanks. If the primary air circuit is damaged, the brakes will not apply when the brake pedal is depressed, potentially causing a vehicle crash without warning and possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealer will inspect all suspect vehicles and repair incorrect air plumbing.

On certain vehicles, the parking brake assembly may not hold the vehicle in position when set. Factors contributing to this possibility are as follows: 1. Cracked or broken cams; 2. Loose or broken anchor bolts; 3. Initial shoe diameter not set properly during assembly, which can lead to progressive component damage; 4. Bent adjuster levers that cannot function; 5. Automatic adjuster cables that are disconnected. If this parking brake does not function properly, the vehicle may begin to roll, without warning, after the parking brake lever has been set and could cause an accident, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the cam, lever and bolt on all affected vehicles.

Certain vehicles clutch rods are failing from fatigue near the turnbuckle due to bending moments experienced during each pedal cycle. The clutch rod can break without warning and make it difficult to shift and if the clutch rod breaks while the vehicle is stopped, the vehicle may lunge unexpectedly in the direction of the selected gear. Correction: Dealers will replace the clutch rod assembly with a solid rod design that does not have a turnbuckle.
A failure of this component (powertrain) 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).
Certain trucks equipped with engine starters (code 08wwn or 08wwp) built by Leece-Neville. These starters have a defective terminal adapter stud. The stud is used only at the positive battery connection to the starter solenoid. It was designed to be screwed on over the existing stud to increase the stud diameter to accommodate the larger size of the positive battery cable terminal. The adapter stud was weakened when the hole was drilled too deep. This could lead to a direct electrical short to the batteries. If the stud breaks off, the positive battery cable could short directly to ground, which can generate heat and sparks causing a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the adapter stud.
A failure of this component (engine) 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).
On certain trucks the cotter pin that goes through the drag link ball stud at the connection to the pitman arm is missing. This pin prevents the castellated nut from loosening. If the nut loosens and comes completely off the drag link ball stud, the drag link could detach resulting in a loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will inspect the vehicle and have a cotter pin installed if found to be missing.
A failure of this component (steering) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Certain heavy-duty trucks equipped with (IROS) rear air suspensions. During assembly, four bolts and nuts holding the main support member bushing bar pins to the main support member hangers were incorrectly tightened. The nuts could work loose or fall off allowing the bolts to fatigue and fail the connection between a main support member bushing and a main support member frame hanger. Separation of the main support member assembly from the frame mounted hanger bracket could result increasing the risk of sudden loss of control of the vehicle. Correction: Dealers will install four new nuts and bolts and tighten to specification.
A failure of this component (suspension) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain vehicles the yoke pinch bolt connection from the steering shaft to the steering gear was assembled with an incorrect bolt. Correction: dealers will replace the bolt.

Certain vehicles fail to meet C.M.V.S.S. 104. During the system frozen test the washer pump fuse failed. Correction: Dealer will replace the 5 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse and install a new 10 amp label over the original 5 amp designation on the fuse panel label.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Certain heavy-duty trucks. These vehicles could experience a loss of the low beam headlights, the high beam headlights, or both. A software problem within the electrical system controller (esc) can cause the circuit for the low beam or the circuit for the high beam headlights to fuse or open, resulting in loss of either the low or high beam headlights or possibly even both. A headlight fusing condition could occur without warning to the driver and potentially leave the driver in a blackout situation while operating the vehicle in the dark. Correction: dealers will reprogram the esc.
