Defect:
Air system blockage in the air dryer occurs degrading the moisture removing capabilities of the dryer when the vehicle is operated in a cold environment and moisture accumulates and freezes in the air dryer or in the line between the dryer and the air system reservoir. the air dryer can become over pressurized causing the air dryer cartridge to separate from the mounting base.
Consequence:
If the air dryer separates from the base, the cartridgecan separate sufficiently enough to cause personal injury or property damage.
Correction:
Dealers will equip air systems with a pressure relief valve to be located between the compressor and the air dryer. this pressure relief valve is intended to vent if excessive pressure develops in the air dryer.

Component:
Wheels:center section
Manufactured:
02/28/1993 - 01/31/1996
Affected:
206
Defect:
The front wheel hub can develop cracks at the wheel mounting studs. when mounted to the hub, the hydraulic brake disc rotor does not properly support the hub at the wheel studs causing excessive stress and fatigue cracks in the hub.
Consequence:
Should sufficient cracks occur, the mounting flange portion of the hub along with the wheel could separate from the vehicle without warning. should this occur while the vehicle is driven, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and/or the separated wheel and hub could strike another vehicle, pedestrian or property.
Correction:
Dealers will install new, redesigned hubs on these vehicles.
Notes:
System: wheels; hub. vehicle description: school and transit buses and medium duty trucks built with 9,000, 10,000, 11,000 or 12,000 pound front axle, hydraulic disc brakes, and hub mounted disc wheels. note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreedupon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
