ON VEHICLES USED AS CONCRETE MIXERS OR REFUSE COLLECTORS WITH FRONT END LOADERS, THE ROCKWELL STEERING ARM COULD CRACK. IF THE STEERING ARM CRACKS AND THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO OPERATE, THE ARM COULD EVENTUALLY BREAK CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: STEERING ARM WILL BE REPLACED WITH A LARGER ARM.
A failure of this component (steering) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

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 THROLTTLE 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 WORKING.
