9999 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SHADOW Recalls (8)

Campaign:
69V034000 on 10/11/1979
Component:
Steering:gear box (other than rack and pinion)
Affected:
1,350
Notes:
Possibility that under certain over- load conditions set screws which hold thetwo side steering levers to steering mechanism may work loose.if this occurs,continued use could cause serious steering con- trol problems.(correct by in-stalling special designed locking plate.)

Campaign:
67V042000 on 10/11/1979
Component:
Suspension:front:wheel bearing
Affected:
299
Notes:
Possibility that bearing pins used in the front suspension were incorrectly heated before forging, in such a way as to seriously affect the structure of the metal in the pins and to make them subject to failure under certain conditions.if one of these pins should break while the car is underway, steering control could be dangerously affected.(replace the subject pins.)

Campaign:
67V106000 on 10/11/1979
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:pedals and linkages
Affected:
650
Notes:
Possibility that the pins used in the brake linkage system were improperly manufactured and installed.this could allow the pins to work free, causing disconnection of the brake linkage.such a disconnection would result in total foot brake failure.(inspect and install retaining clips as required.)

Campaign:
67V038000 on 10/11/1979
Component:
Power train:driveline
Affected:
42
Notes:
Possible failure of the rear axle pinion bearing may occur because of failure to perform an internal drilling within the axle casing to supply lubricant to the bearing.(inspect and replace axle as necessary).

Campaign:
66V035001 on 10/11/1979
Component:
Vehicle speed control
Affected:
138
Notes:
Possibility of the accelerator pedal shaft rubbing the floor board, which could cause an accelerator sticking condition.(install different type lever and clamping arrangement which will rectify this condition.)

Campaign:
66V035002 on 10/11/1979
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:caliper
Affected:
138
Notes:
Possible looseness of brake caliper securing set screws.if one of these is loose, there is a possibility of a wheel locking on normal braking, with consequent directional instability.(check tightness of the subject set screws.)

Campaign:
66V005001 on 10/11/1979
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:power assist
Affected:
84
Notes:
Possible cracking in the aluminum casings of the two accumulator valves which govern the hydraulic pressure in the suspension height control and braking systems.should such a crack develop, it may cause a gradual loss of braking power.(replace with improved steel casing.)

Campaign:
66V005002 on 10/11/1979
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Affected:
84
Notes:
Possibility that the accumulator valve hoses may develop minor leakage which reduces the level of the hydraulic fluid in the brake and suspension systems.(replace with new hoses which have im- proved sealing properties.)
