Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Service brakes, air:antilock
Problem: Vehicle description: school buses, medium duty trucks and tractors built with bendix air abs with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (ecu), there have been reports of unwanted abs activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed abs wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.
Risk: This condition could cause the abs ecu to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. This could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the abs ecu.
Power train:automatic transmission
Problem: Vehicle description: medium duty trucks. The transmission fluid could leak from a heat degraded transmission fluid cooler hose onto the exhaust system on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
Risk: This condition could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will install a new transmission fluid cooler inlet hose and outlet hose designed with a heat sleeve and ensure adequate clearance to the exhaust system take-down pipe. Dealers will also inspect the right-hand exhaust manifold seal for leakage, and replace if necessary.
Power train:automatic transmission
Problem: Vehicle description: medium duty conventional cab trucks and school bus chassis equipped with an automatic transmission, have transmission shift cable end rods that have not been crimped to the proper specification. Over time, the shift cable could be pulled out of the rod end causing the driver to lose the ability to manually change transmission gears.
Risk: With this condition, the vehicle may move in a direction not anticipated by the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a new shift cable.
