- Air brakes. Recall 11V013000 affects 146 vehicles produced from October 26, 2009, through October 1, 2010. Incorrect installation of airlines to the front and rear air tanks could cause loss of braking function if rear tank pressure is depleted, risking a crash.

- Electrical wiring. Recall 12V555000 covers 35,142 medium duty trucks including the NJ8J, made August 18, 2003, through November 16, 2011.

- Front brake assemblies. Recall 19V044000 includes 7,231 NJ8J vehicles from 2007 to 2019 lacking dust shields on front brakes.

- Engine components. Recall 17V607000 covers 3,224 trucks from model years 2011-2012. The wrist pin bushings in connecting rods may shift causing excessive cylinder wear and possible engine failure that raises crash risk. Dealers will inspect and replace connecting rods as needed.

Owners facing repeated repairs related to these recalls or unresolved safety concerns may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting a consumer protection attorney could assist in understanding available options.
