• Recall 1990013 [Canada]: Steering
  Vehicles were produced with adjustable (tilt and telescope) steering columns containing an incorrect and possibly under torqued steering column clamping bolt. This could result in a loss of steering control from either separation of the coupling from the steering column or, with high mileage, from wearing of the splines to the extent that the coupling spins freely on the steering column. Correction: clamping bolts will be replaced with grade eight fasteners, with torque prevailing nuts tightened to specified torque.

• Recall 1990097 [Canada]: Brakes
  1989-90 "l-series" trucks and chassis cabs. Pressure loss in the air brake primary service reservoir could result in loss of pressure in the secondary service reservoir due to a defective secondary service reservoir air pressure check valve. This could result in loss of service brakes and a possible crash without prior warning. The rear spring brakes would apply if the primary service reservoir pressure dropped below 60 p.S.I. Correction: revised design secondary service reservoir check valve components will be installed on affected vehicles.

• Recall 1990191 [Canada]: Brakes
  Cracks may develop in the mounting surface area of aeroquip maxi ii 30/36 spring parking brake chambers possibly leading to fracture of the chamber housing in the area of the studs. Subsquently, the chamber could separate from the vehicle if the chamber push rod clevis were to separate from the slack adjuster and the air hose fittings at the chamber were to fracture. A detached chamber could present a road hazard to other vehicles and the remaining spring brakes on the vehicle would apply as air pressure decreased. Correction: brake chambers will be replaced with chambers of a different design.
