SUBJECT ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF THE GOVERNOR SERVO PIN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE AND VEHICLE CONTINUING AT THEIR RESPECTIVE SPEEDS UNTIL A CHANGE IN LOAD OCCURS (I.E. TERRAIN, BRAKES OR CLUTCH) AND ENGINE BRAKING COULD BE REDUCED WITH A SUBSEQUENT INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE AND THE RISK OF A CRASH. CORRECTION: THE GOVERNOR RACK SERVO CYLINDER ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED ENGINES.
