Campaign:
78E005000 on 10/11/1979
Component:
Power train:manual transmission
Affected:
162
Defect:
The outermost input bearing could fail due to insufficient lubrication. additionally, the countershaft bore plug has a tendency to move out of the bore in the transmission housing. the result is loss of lubricant in the auxiliary transmission, which can also cause the vehicle to become immobile.
Correction:
Dealer will replace the transmission unit with a factory supplied unit, free of charge.
Notes:
Vehicle category: light trucks.system: power train; auxiliary transmission, model 4800; transmission bearing.consequences of defect: vehicle could become immobilized in traffic, whichcould lead to a vehicle accident.
Campaign:
78E012000 on 10/11/1979
Component:
Vehicle speed control
Manufactured:
10/31/1977 - 04/30/1978
Affected:
65,000
Defect:
The cable leading from the speed control servo unit to the throttle linkage may become entrapped on the reheostat adjustment screw. if entrapped, the cable will hold the vehicle throttle partially open whether or not the speed control is engaged.
Correction:
An adjusting screw and washer will be installed, by the service facility which installed the speed control, to correct the condition.
Notes:
Vehicle category: passenger vehicles.system: equipment; speed control.consequences of defect: if the throttle remains open, loss of vehicle controland an accident could occur.note: if tapping the brake pedal or turning the speed control off does notresult in decreased speed, this may indicate cable is entrapped. in this case,the brakes should be applied and vehicle should be stopped in a safe location.dealer should be contacted immediately.
Campaign:
80E007000 on 07/24/1980
Component:
Power train:driveline:driveshaft
Manufactured:
02/29/1980 - 02/29/1980
Affected:
1,237
Defect:
The defect involves an incorrectly designed shift fork. the shift fork was designed to activate a switch which would illuminate a light on the dashboard when the power take-off is shifted into gear. due to the incorrect shift fork, the dashboard light flashes momentarily, then goes off.
Correction:
The manufacturer will inspect and, if necessary, replace power take-off units with air shift assemblies which contain the proper assembly components at no charge to owner.
Notes:
Vehicle category: multi-purpose passenger vehicles and trucks.system: power train; chelsea; power take offs.consequences of defect: there is a risk of injury to persons in or out of thevehicle if the operator believes the power take-off is disengaged when it isactually in gear.note: the driver will receive a prior warning that the shift indicating lightis not operating properly since the light flashes momentarily while the powertake-off is being engaged but will not be lit when the power take-off isoperating the auxiliary equipment. the vehicle should be operated as if theindicator were not present and the indicator system should be removed as soonas possible.
Campaign:

Component:
Suspension:front:control arm
Manufactured:
05/31/1975 - 08/31/1980
Affected:
35,411
Defect:
Ball joints may contain a 35/64 inch thick castellated nut instead of the correct 23/32 inch thick nut. due to the incorrect size, the nut may loosen until it comes into contact with the cotter pin. corresponding loosening of the tapered ball stud could lead to fracture of the ball joint stud. this would result in separation of the ball joint to steering knuckle connection and collapse of the lower part of the wheel assembly.
Correction:
Upon inspection, dealer will install the proper nut in the ball joint assembly without charge to owner.
Notes:
Vehicle category: passenger vehicles.system: suspension; ball joints (replacement), part nos. jb-538 and jb-587.consequences of defect: collapse of the lower part of the wheel assembly maycause loss of vehicle control and an accident.note: prior to failure the vehicle operator may experience these warningsignals: abnormal noise in the front suspension, improper front end alignment,and lack of steering stability.
