THE 19.5 X 6 FRONT STEEL WHEEL DISC CRACKS OUTSIDE THE MOUNTING BOLT CIRCLE AND ENDS AT THE HUB'S DIAMETER.
Consequence & remedy

91V216000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:storage:tank Assembly
Dec 13, 1991
SOME CHASSIS WERE SHIPPED TO BODY BUILDERS WITH DAMAGED FILL OR VENT OPENING CAPS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. IF A LEFT-HAND FILL SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED ON THE TANK, AND THERE WAS A DAMAGED RIGHT-HAND CAP, THE FUEL SYSTEM WOULD NOT BE SEALED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE FUEL SYSTEM IS NOT SEALED, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFFSYSTEM USED IN GAS STATIONS WOULD NOT WORK, ALLOWING GAS TO BE FORCED OUT OFTHE DEFECTIVE RIGHT-HAND OPENING. THE SPILLED GASOLINE WOULD RESULT IN A FIREHAZARD IF EXPOSED TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION.
Remedy: INSTALL NEW CAPS ON THE VEHICLES WITH UNUSED RIGHT-HAND FILL OR VENT OPENINGS.

Aug 5, 1991
THE AUTOMATIC APPLY TRANSMISSION MOUNTED PARKING BRAKE LEVER PIVOT BOLT "FINGER" MAY BE LOOSE.

BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD RESULT INVEHICLE MOVEMENT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND POSSIBLY IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: TORQUE PIVOT BOLT TO SPECIFICATIONS.
