Safety Recalls of Ford L8000 Vehicles

This wear can result in the governor jamming in thedamaged swivel and could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position.

If one of the two return springs fractures while thevehicle is being driven, a substantial reduction in accelerator pedal effortwould be felt. If the second spring also fractures, the throttle would notreturn to idle position and can result in increased engine speed and thepossibility of loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Using the wrong sized clamps to attach the rim and tireassembly to the wheel spokes could cause the studs that attach the clamps to thespokes to bend. If the studs are bent, there is an increased risk of studfracture that could result in the rim and tire assembly breaking from thewheel.

In the event of pressure loss in the supply reservoir,a defective check valve would allow pressure equalization between primary andsecondary service reservoirs, presenting the potential for loss or absence offront braking ability, which could cause loss of control and an accident.
