Posted on: 2006-02-01

Consequence
Loss of steering control could lead to a vehicle crash with potential injury or death.

Corrective Action
Fabtech will notify owners and replace the pitman and idler arms free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin during february 2006.  Owners may contact fabtech at 909-597-7800.

DEFECT #2 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR


Posted on: 2006-06-06
Description
Certain federal-mogul national and carquest aftermarket hub assemblies, p/n 515058, sold for use on 2001-2006 general motors 1500 and 2500 4wd trucks.  On the subject hub assemblies, the abs sensor cord departs from the hub assembly at a 90 degree angle.  As a result, there is a fit issue with the brake rotor dust shield interfering with the abs sensor cord.  If the hub assembly is installed despite this interference, the gap between the abs sensor and the tone wheel may be altered.  This may weaken the output of the abs sensor.  Diminished output could result in an unwanted abs activation at low speeds and stopping distance could be affected.

Consequence
If stopping distance is limited, a vehicle crash could occur.

Corrective Action
Federal-mogul will notify its owners and will either credit the customers account or replace the unit.  The recall is expected to begin during june 2006.  Owners can contact federal-mogul customer service at 1-800-563-8507 ext 3530.

Notes
This recall only pertains to aftermarket national and carquest hub assemblies and has no relation to any original equipment installed on vehicles manufactured by general motors.customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Description
Mobilityworks is recalling 133 my 2005-2006 ford e250, my 2000, 2004-2006 e350, my 2000, 2005 e450, my 2005-2006 gmc 2500, gmc 3500, and my 2006 dodge 2500 vans equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts.  These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no.  403, platform lift systems for motor vehicles.  The anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user.  The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level.  The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.  

Consequence
A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.

Corrective Action
Mobilityworks is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e097).  Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mobilityworks at 1-800-769-8267.
