Has your White Truck been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A White Truck dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

July 6, 1978NHTSA 78V157000140 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air › Supply › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary
The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems", in that some dual compartment air reservoirs were installed without a drain valve in both compartments. The omission of the drain valve could cause: 1) the tank to fill up with water due to condensation, 2) reduced air volume, 3) contamination of the air system with water, causing malfunction of the release valves, check valves, etc., and increasing the possibility of air system component freeze-up in cold climates. These conditions could result in momentary loss of braking action.
Remedy
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install a drain valve at no cost to owner.

Latches/locks/linkages

Summary
The vinyl covered interior passenger assist/grab handle located on the right hand hinge pillar can wear and fail in service.
Remedy
The owner has the option of either having the dealer remove the handle free of charge or removing it himself and being reimbursed $3.00 per vehicle.

June 12, 1978NHTSA 78V13200039 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air › Antilock › Control unit/module

Summary
The involved vehicles may have been built with power unit anti-skid logic modules on tag axle installations instead of the correct trailer type modules. Since the tag axle sensor output is less than that of the power unit sensor, it requires the more sensitive trailer module. As sensor output over time drops below minimum requirements, one of two things will happen: (1) the anti-lock system on the tag axle will shut down and the cab mounted fault lamp will light or (2) the system will become inoperative without activating the fault light. This fails to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brakes".
Remedy
Dealer will replace the incorrect anti-lock module without charge to owner.

April 11, 1978NHTSA 78V07700066 vehicles potentially affected

Exterior lighting

Summary
Due to location of the back of the cab reflector being above the 60-inch maximum height, reflectors were to be installed on the rear frame crossmember. Some of these trucks were delivered without the frame mounted reflectors. As a result, these vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment".
Remedy
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install the required reflectors, without charge to owner.

Remedy
The proper supports will be installed, without charge.
