Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary
NotesMack campaign no sc072.trucks equipped with eaton skid control system androckwell international ff931 or fl931 w front axles with aluminum wheel hubs.possibility that full adjustment of the wheel speed sensor cannot be obtainedwith the present eaton wheel speed rotor.if this results in interferencebetween the rotor and sensor on only one wheel of the front axle and theinterferenceis sufficient to damage the sensor, then anti-wheel lock capabilitywill be lost on the front axle and the anti-wheel lock warning light indicatorwill activate, alerting the driver.however, in the event sensor-to-rotorinterference on both wheels of the front axle, and causes damage to bothsensor, the anti-wheel lock capability will be lost on the front axle, but theanti-wheel lock indicator warning light will not be activated.absence of theanti-lock capability could result in impaired vehicle control should the driverundertake a panic stop in slippery road conditions.(correct by inspecting andreplacing eaton wheel rotors with improved parts and replace damaged sensos).

78V030000MACK TRUCKS, INCORPORATEDfrom 12/01/1975 to 01/01/1978V (Vehicle)40008/23/1978MFRMACK TRUCKS, INC02/09/197810/12/1979
Defect SummaryA design deficiency exists in the air dryer piping in the area of the pressure relief valve and compressor governor control link. moisture is passed and builds up in this relief valve and control line. in freezing ambient temperatures, this moisture may freeze, allowing the chassis air system pressure to exceed 150 psi. excessive air system pressure can cause separation of air piping connections and air system valve failure.
Consequence Summary
Corrective SummaryThe dealer will relocate the air system compressor governor line and pressure relief valve to eliminate moisture accumulation.
NotesVehicle description: trucks equipped with anchorlok air dryers.system: service brakes; air system and governor control line (air dryer).consequences of defect: when this occurs, automatic application of the chassisemergency spring brakes and trailer brakes could cause loss of vehicle controlwithout prior warning and a vehicle accident.note: owner/driver is advised not to operate vehicle if air pressure exceeds15o psi.
STEERING - WHEEL AND HANDLE BAR
