1994 WHITE GMC FE Recalls (2)

Campaign:
96V095000 on 06/10/1996
Component:
Service brakes, air
Manufactured:
07/31/1994 - 01/31/1996
Affected:
771
Defect:
The traction solenoid exhaust can be obstructed due to inadequate drainage and a build-up of road contamination between the mounting bracket and the solenoid housing. the obstructed exhaust prevents the relay valve control air pressure from venting after a differential braking traction event.
Consequence:
This condition would keep the rear axle service brakes applied without any brake pedal movement by the driver increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
Correction:
Dealers will remove the suspect valve and install a new valve that has a modified solenoid housing which will allow for sufficient drainage and a new valve mounting bracket with increased height to reduce entry of contamination.
Notes:
System: brakes; air systems. vehicle description: class 8 heavy duty trucks equipped with a bendix atr traction relay valve. note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact volvo gm heavy truck at 1-800-528-6586. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

Defect:
Vehicle description: class 8 heavy duty trucks. the air suspension control valve supply line was not plumbed through an air pressure protection valve. in the event of a failure, there would be loss of air pressure in the 'b' system air reservoir that supplies air pressure for the front steer axle brakes.

Dealers will install the necessary air pressure protection valve.
