Recall 1992052

The issue

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR 3406 ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF THE GOVERNOR SERVE PIN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE AND VEHICLE CONTINUING AT THEIR SAME RESPECTIVE SPEEDS UNTIL A CHANGE IN LOAD OCCURS (I.E. TERRAIN, BRAKES OR CLUTCH) AND COULD REDUCE ENGINE BRAKING WITH A SUBSEQUENT INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCES AND THE RISK OF A CRASH. CORRECTION: GOVERNORS WILL BE RE-WORKED TO ENSURE ADEQUATE PRESS FIT AND/OR STAKING AT THE ENDS OF THE SERVE PIN BORE.

Description (français)

Sur ces véhicules équipes du moteur Caterpillar 3406, la goupille d'asservissement du régulateur peut lâcher. Dans cette éventualité, le moteur continuerait à tourner à la même vitesse jusqu'à ce qu'il y ait changement de la charge sur le moteur (montée d'une côte, freinage, changement de vitesse, etc. ) et le frein-moteur ne serait plus aussi efficace, ce qui augmenterait la distance de freinage et les risques d'accident.
