Paccar is conducting an owner notification program (onp) for select vehicles within the subject and peer populations.the onp are attached to the closing report and can be found in the nhtsa technical service bulletin (tsb) database. (tsb: 10033585, 10033584)see closing report for investigation details. | ||||||
EA09008 | PACCAR INCORPORATED | 05/29/2009 | HORTON FAN FAILURES | |||
During the pe odi learned that the subject vehicles are being disabled when the horton fan hub fails, due to the fan striking the radiator.apparently, warning signs of the impending failure are not always sufficient to give the driver time to pull off the highway.thus, when the failure occcurs, in some cases the vehicle is stranded and must be towed. odi has examined data which indicates that class vii and viii trucks are over represented in crashes when stranded on the highway or shoulder, as contrasted to light vehicles.further, crashes involving disabled heavy trucks being struck by light vehicles are more likely to have serious consequences. nhtsa has upgraded pe09-002 to an ea to further investigate this matter.odi will examine the warning symptoms and assess the risk of a crash in the event of a breakdown on the highway. |
