Defect
On van-type vehicles, improper weld quality control during manufacturing has left the wheel chock storage stay welds with insufficient strength. Road vibration and similar operating loads can cause the weld joints on the storage stay to fracture. In the worst case, portions of the storage stay and the wheel chock may detach and fall from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the wheel chock storage assembly with the corrected part.
