The hazard
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR 3406 ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF THE GOVERNOR SERVE 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. CORRECTION: GOVERNORS WILL BE RE-WORKED TO ENSURE ADEQUATE PRESS FIT AND/OR STAKING AT THE ENDS OF THE SERVE PIN BORE.
