Recall history

2 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

78V241000 · Service Brakes, Air:Drum:Shoes/Linings

Reported: 1978-10-25 (October 25, 1978) · Model years: 1977, 1978

THE BRAKE SHOE WELDS ON THE REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES COULD FAIL AT THE POINT WHERE THE WELD JOINS THE BRAKE SHOE TABLE. A BROKEN WELD COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY.

Remedy: THE BRAKE SHOE ASSEMBLIES WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED, IF NECESSARY.

80V069000 · Suspension:Rear

Reported: 1980-05-28 (May 28, 1980) · Model years: 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980

THE BOLTS THAT CLAMP THE MOR/RYDE SUSPENSION BEAM AND LOWER MOUNTING PLATE TO THE AXLE MAY BREAK AS A RESULT OF MISALIGNMENT OF THE BOLTS DUE TO NON-PARALLEL SURFACES OF THE UPPER BEAM PLATE AND THE LOWER BOTTOM PLATE. ANOTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IS THE ABSENCE OF SHEAR BLOCKS TO THE UPPER SPACER PAD.

Remedy: MANUFACTURER WILL INSTALL NEW MOR/RYDE BEAM ASSEMBLIES, LOWER MOUNTING PLATES, BOLTS, NUTS AND WASHERS.

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.

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.
