VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR 3306B OR 3406B ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF THE GOVERNOR SERVO 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.rnCORRECTION: THE RACK SERVO CYLINDER ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED ENGINES.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1992094.
