DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
Posted on: 1991-10-17
Description
A hydraulic leak may develop in the webster cooling fan.
Consequence
If a severe hydraulic leak occurs, hydraulic fluid can besprayed on the engine manifolds or accumulate on the turbocharger and insulationand then be ignited by the hot exhaust manifold, turbocharger, or muffler,resulting in an engine compartment fire.
Corrective Action
Steam clean the engine compartment, run the system to detect leaks, and replace any leaking webster cooling fan.
Notes
System: hydraulic systems for steering and transmission.vehicle description: 37 foot and 40 foot motorhomes on a gillig assembledchassis.

DEFECT #3 - POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
Posted on: 1991-10-15
Description
Inconsistent aeroquip hose tightening procedures and supplier's assembly inconsistencies can cause leaks of hydraulic fluid.
Consequence
If a severe hydraulic leak occurs, hydraulic fluid can besprayed on the engine manifolds or accumulate on the turbocharger and insulationand then be ignited by the hot exhaust manifold, turbocharger, or muffler,resulting in an engine compartment fire.
Corrective Action
Steam clean the engine compartment, run the system to detect leaks, re-torque any leaking connections to specifications, and replace fittings/hoses that cannot be made leak free.

DEFECT #4 - SEATS
Posted on: 1992-12-30
Description
The driver and passenger front outboard occupant seat have been designed with the safety belt anchorage on the seat structure. It is possible, in a vehicle crash, that the seat structure would fail to withstand the forces within the limits set forth in fmvss 207 and fmvss 210.
Consequence
The seating and safety belt systems fail to comply withthe safety standards of fmvss 207 and 210, and could increase the risk of injuryto occupants in the event of a crash or sudden stop.
Corrective Action
Relocate the seat belt anchorage assemblies from the seat pedestal assembly to the vehicle frame through the floor structure to reduce the load on the seat pedestal assembly in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
Notes
System: seating system, fmvss 207; and safety belt anchorages, fmvss 210.vehicle descriptions: mobile homes.
