Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 1981 Western Star Road Commander in Canada.
Certain vehicles were built with Sealco air start control valves containing an internal component which could under normal operating conditions become damaged and cause the valve to malfunction. A malfunction could allow air pressure to bypass the control valve and start the engine of a parked vehicle, resulting in the potential for injury to persons working in or around the engine compartment.
A failure of this component (other) 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).
