On certain trucks, the fifth wheel hitch assembly's lever arm may have been incorrectly installed during the manufacturing process. The lever arm pivot bolt may have been over-tightened which could distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve and prevent the fifth wheel latch jaw from closing and latching securely around the trailer king pin. This could allow the towed unit to separate from the towing vehicle while underway, potentially causing a crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the pivot bolt and sleeve with a hex head shoulder bolt and washer.

On certain vehicles, the internal rubber check valve inside the Bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve can become deformed over time. The effect of this defect is intermittent and presents a potential delay or failure in applying the parking brakes; potentially resulting in a vehicle roll away. Should this occur, the unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a check valve repair kit, and replace the Parker single check valve.

On certain trucks, the cotter pin that retains the brake pedal clevis pin may not have been installed. The clevis pin connects the brake pedal to the brake foot valve; therefore, if the pin were to come loose, the driver would not be able to apply the service brakes. This could cause a vehicle crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if missing, install a cotter pin in the brake pedal clevis pin.

On certain trucks, the adjustable torque rod used on the Chalmers rear suspension may be brittle. This may lead to premature failure of the rod, which may result in a loss of control of the vehicle causing a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the torque rod.

Certain trucks fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 121 - Air Brake Systems. Vehicles in question do not meet the required stopping distance as specified in the Standard. Extended stopping distance could result in a vehicle crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will move the ABS sensor from the rear drive axle to the front drive axle. This will also require moving the ABS tone ring, which will be accomplished by swapping hubs from the front and the rear axle.

Certain trucks equipped with Bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve may experience an internal air leak if the check valve fails to seat. This may cause a delay in the application of the parking spring brakes leading to an unintended vehicle rollaway.
