02V231000 on 09/04/2002

Component:

Equipment:other:labels

Manufactured:

03/19/1996 - 06/03/2002

Affected:

86

Defect:

On certain tag and pusher axle assemblies purchased from ridewell, the axle assemblies have an actual weight rating less than that specified on the label and therefore fail to comply with the requirements of part 567.5, "certification."

Consequence:

Loading the tag/pusher axle to the gawr label rating or loading the vehicle to the gvwr label rating will cause the pusher/tag axle to be overloaded.

Correction:

Crane will provide owners with replacement vehicle certification labels and installation instructions. owner notification began october 4, 2002. owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact crane at 1-918-832-7333.

Notes:

Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Campaign:

03V244000 on 07/16/2003

Component:

Vehicle speed control

Affected:

4

Defect:

On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with cummins c8.3g and l10g electronic control modules (ecm), the ecm does not have the ability to detect a throttle fail-safe engine shutdown command. this could result in an unanticipated, uncommanded open throttle condition without warning.

Consequence:

If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Correction:

Cummins will notify the customers and replace the ecm. owners should contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or crane carrier at 1-918-836-1651.

Notes:

Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
