00V022000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip
Reported: 2000-01-24 (January 24, 2000) · Model years: 1999
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE ANTILOCK TRACTION RELAY VALVES WERE INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED BY THE SUPPLIER. AN EXTRA CHECK VALVE WAS INSTALLED WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.
Consequence: THE REAR BRAKES CAN BE APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY DURING A TRACTION EVENT AND NOT RELEASE UNTIL THE AIR SYSTEM PRESSURE IS DEPLETED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THESE VEHICLES AND ALL ANTILOCK TRACTION RELAY VALVES FOUND DEFECTIVE WILL BE REPLACED.
Reported: 1999-08-03 (August 3, 1999) · Model years: 1999
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH STEERING COLUMNS SUPPLIED BY DOUGLAS AUTOTEC. THE STEERING COLUMNS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE A DEFECTIVE OR DISLOCATED WELD.
Consequence: IF THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE, A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL COULD OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY.
Reported: 1999-12-14 (December 14, 1999) · Model years: 1999
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE CHECK VALVES IN THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS."
Consequence: INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT MAY BE REQUIRED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW CHECK VALVES ON THE VEHICLES INVOLVED.

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.
