Defect Summary	A manufacturing error resulted in the installation of carbon steel springs in some dual-compartment air reservoir check valves. carbon steel springs are inadequate for this application because they are subject to severe corrosion and subsequent failure of the check valve.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	The carbon steel spring will be replaced with a stainless steel one.
Notes	Vehicle description: heavy trucks.system: service brakes; dual compartment air reservoir check valve.consequences of defect: if this check valve failure were combined with asevered line in the primary air system, complete loss of brakes and possiblevehicle crash could occur.

Corrective Summary	Defective steering wheels will be replaced at no charge to owner.
Notes	Vehicle description: trucks.system: steering; steering wheel hub to perimeter weld.consequences of defect: separation of the steering wheel would probably causeloss of vehicle control without warning, possibly resulting in an accident.note: the truck should not be driven until the defective steering wheel iscorrected.
