3 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
03V492000 · Steering: Steering Wheel/Handle Bar
Reported: 2003-12-26 (December 26, 2003) · Model years: 2002, 2003
ON CERTAIN DUAL STEER TRUCKS, THE 18" STEERING WHEELS WERE NOT ASSEMBLED CORRECTLY. THE HORNS EITHER WORKED INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL.
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD PREVENT A DRIVER FROM WARNING ANOTHER VEHICLE OR BYSTANDER OF THEIR PRESENCE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH OR INJURY TO BYSTANDERS.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE AND REASSEMBLE THE CONTACT PLATE POSITION OR ROLLER POSITION, IF NECESSARY. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT AUTOCAR AT 1-877-973-3486.

Reported: 2003-11-14 (November 14, 2003) · Model years: 2003
ON CERTAIN CLASS 8 TRUCKS, THE CASTLE NUT HOLDING THE PITMAN ARM TO THE STEERING DRAG LINK CAN VIBRATE LOOSE DUE TO A MISSING COTTER PIN.
Consequence: IF THE STEERING COMPONENTS BECOME DETACHED FROM EACH OTHER, THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE STEERING WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: AUTOCAR HAS TELEPHONED ALL CUSTOMERS AND ALL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED.

Failure mileage by component
Median and middle 50% of usable owner-reported mileages. Ranges require at least five records.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2009: 0 complaints · 2010: 0 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2010 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Date coverage across each selected cohort
| Year | Incident dates used | Filing date fallbacks | Excluded dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2010 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
