Defect SummaryThe fuel separators on the involved vehicles may have thin walls due to a material thickness problem. the separators in these walls may crack and may allow fuel vapors or liquid fuel to leak into the engine under high pressure conditions.
Consequence Summary
Corrective SummaryThe dealer will install improved separators and relocate both the separator and fuel canister without charge.
NotesVehicle description: buses equipped with fuel tank evaporative emissionsystems.system: fuel; fuel tank.consequences of defect: leaking fuel in the presence of a source of ignitioncould lead to a vehicle fire and injury to vehicle passengers.

Defect SummaryThe vapor separator in the fuel tank evaporative omission system lacks the capacity to prohibit liquid gasoline from passing to the canister under certain fuel expansion conditions. gasoline would be discharged from the bottom of the canister onto the rear of engine, creating a fire hazard.
Consequence Summary
Corrective SummaryDealer will install an additional fuel separator to enlarge capacity, and add a discharge hose to the bottom of the fuel canister.
NotesVehicle description: medium trucks.system: fuel; fuel tank.consequences of defect: in the event of a vehicle fire, serious personal injuryand property damage could result.note: the conditions which may promote the problem are: hot weather, use offuel with a high reid vapor pressure, and operating vehicle in frequentstop-start service.

Defect SummaryAs a result of severe shock and vibrations, the brake spiders on the involved vehicles may develop cracks near the camshaft mounting boss. the crack propagates across the spider until the camshaft boss is completely severed from the remainder of the spider. when the camshaft boss has completely severed, the s-cam, s-cam bracket, air chamber and slack adjuster can fall away from the brake spider resulting in a no brake condition on the wheel.
Consequence Summary
Corrective SummaryThe dealer will replace the front brake spiders on all affected vehicles used in snow plow dump and refuse hauling applications. this will be done at no charge.
NotesVehicle description: medium and heavy trucks equipped with eaton 16-1/2 by 5inch s-cam.system: service brakes: brake spiders.consequences of defect: partial loss of front braking capability and imbalancescan affect vehicle stability during sudden stops. this can contribute to avehicle accident.
