1990 Collins Collins

Component

Equipment:Electrical:Air Conditioner

Consequence of Defect

electrical fuses for the rear evaporator wiring harness were omitted, presenting a potential for current overload if a fan rotor locks up during normal operation of the evaporator.

Corrective Action

current overload has the potential for ignitingcombustible materials in the vicinity of the evaporator wiring harness.

Recall Notes

install redesigned wiring harness and fuses to provide overload protection.

1985 Collins Collins

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

the rear hydraulic brake line on the vehicle's right side may come in contact with the supporting structure of the stepwell. the clearence between the stepwell and the brake line mounted on the framerail is not sufficient. if the stepwell were to touch the brake line, damage to the brake line could result with the passage of time. consequence of defect: if the rear hydraulic brake line were to be crimped, response of the rear breaks would be slowed down, thus affecting stopping times. if the rear hydraulic line was to be split open, loss of fluid would result and performance of the entire braking system would be degraded. operation of a vehicle with damaged brake lines could lead to situations where, in panic stop, a vehicle crash could result. this could occur without prior warning.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

reroute brake lines to avoid contact with stepwell or change design to allow clearance.
