Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2001 Peterbilt 330 in Canada.
Certain heavy-duty trucks equipped with Meritor Wabco pneumatic antilock brake system (ABS) valve packages. The assembly bolts on these valve packages were not tightened correctly. Bolts torque below specification will not reliably prevent air leakage at the affected abs valve package interface joints once the component begins normal vehicle operation. If air leaks develop at any of the abs valve package interface joints, brake system pressure reductions could occur during braking or normal operation with units equipped with the traction control option, potentially extending stopping distances, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will tighten the fasteners to the proper specification.
A failure of this component (airbag) 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, a change in the internal linkage of cab doors has created a possible binding condition. If the linkage binds, full engagement of the door latch may not occur, allowing the door to open inadvertently. Correction: Dealers will modify the door linkage to correct the potential of binding.
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).
Certain heavy duty trucks equipped with Chalmers 1000 Series and 800 Series suspension kits. These suspension kits may have insufficient penetration of the weld attaching the torque rod eye to the torque rod tube. Failure of the weld could result in separation of the eye and tube, causing a lock of axle retention, which could result in loss of vehicle control. Correction: Dealers will replace all Chalmers fixed torque rods on these vehicles.
A failure of this component (not entered) 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 heavy duty trucks equipped with Cummins ISC engines. Diodes contained in the pre-heat circuit of certain engine wiring harnesses were not properly insulated during the harness manufacturing process. This lack of insulation could allow the diodes to contact each other leading to a short circuit and possibly a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect the harnesses and remedy, if required, by properly insulating the diodes.
A failure of this component (electrical) 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 vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 210 - Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages." Some fasteners used to attach the shoulder belt anchor bracket to the cab structure were omitted during production. In the event of a crash, the shoulder belt anchorage may not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing the risk of personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install adddtional huck fasteners in the shoulder belt anchor brackets.
A failure of this component (seats and restraints) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
