3.3.2.1. Unclassified (Workmanship) Deficiencies
All workmanship deficiencies that have no effect on function, safety, interchangeability, life, vehicle performance or jeopardize mission capability but considered departures from good workmanship, will be documented in writing but will not be used in determining lot acceptance, unless similar deficiencies occur on five consecutive lots. Examples of such deficiencies may include, but are not limited to, foot and or finger prints, trash or debris left over from the manufacturing process, cable wraps not trimmed, rivet stubs and or washers not removed from under the floor mats, etc. All workmanship deficiencies shall be corrected by the Contractor prior to shipment.
3.3.2.1.1. Recurring Unclassified (Workmanship) Deficiencies
Workmanship deficiencies falling within these types of categories, and recurring in five consecutive lots, will be documented in the FIR as a minor defect and remain there until the Contractor passes five consecutive lots without recurrence of such deficiencies.
3.3.2.2. Major Defects
UNCLASSIFIED page 5 of 11
Any defects which could impact safety, or that will likely result in decreased vehicle performance, mission failure, reduced operational capability, or result in a loss of function to any major component or sub-system (i.e. engine, transmission, steering, hydraulics, brakes, heater, etc.), are considered major defects.
3.3.2.2.1. Recurring Major Defects
A major defect is recurring when the same defect occurs more than once in the same sample, or when a similar defect occurs in two successive samples. A major defect may be considered recurring when the historical inspection records ("P" chart or Government approved equivalent) reflect such a condition.
Recurring major defects shall be cause for the entire lot, or lots, to be inspected for the recurring defects. All defects shall be corrected by the Contractor prior to acceptance by the Government.
3.3.2.3. Minor Defects
Any defects which may result in an inconvenience to the operator or crew, require maintenance or repair at the next convenient stop in operations, are cosmetic in nature but readily visible, exhibit obvious departures from normal and accepted manufacturing practices (i.e. chaffing, loose or missing hardware, easily visible paint defects on class A surfaces, etc.), but which would not likely result in an immediate concern for safety, mission failure, diminished vehicle capability or operational readiness or require immediate maintenance for continued vehicle operation, should be considered minor defects.
3.3.2.3.1. Recurring Minor Defects
A minor defect is recurring if a similar minor defect occurs in four successive samples. Recurring minor defects shall be cause for the entire lot or lots to be inspected for the recurring defects, and correction shall be accomplished prior to acceptance by the Government.
3.3.2.4. Sampling Inspection Failures
If any vehicle fails to pass any examination as specified in Major and Minor Defects or the required tests as specified in the Main Body, the Government reserves the right to withhold acceptance of all vehicles in the lot until the Contractor provides evidence that corrective action has been taken to correct all documented defects and the conditions that caused those defects. On the failure of a lot to pass sampling inspection, the Contractor shall revert to inspection, as defined in "One Hundred Percent Final Inspection", until evidence the Government deems satisfactory has been provided by the Contractor.
3.3.3. Location

The test vehicles shall be fully equipped with either actual or simulated payload including the applicable fully loaded trailer and operated for a distance of not less than 50 miles on the relative level, hard-surfaced test track/route. Prior to conducting the CT, the test vehicle shall be subjected to the road test without payload as depicted in "Track/Route Test". The CT shall be performed at the place of manufacture. Prior to conducting the 50 mile CT, each test vehicle shall be inspected to ascertain conformance to the requirements. These tests shall be performed in the presence of a Government representative. The CT shall validate the actual performance requirements.
3.4.3. Test Failure
If the vehicle selected fails to pass any of the CT requirements, the Government reserves the right to stop acceptance examination and testing on subsequent vehicles until such time the condition(s) causing the failure have been investigated for cause and corrected. Any major defects found during, or as a result of the CT, shall be prima facie evidence that vehicles accepted subsequent to the previously acceptable CTs were similarly defective, until the Government is furnished evidence by the Contractor that they are not similarly deficient. Minor defects found during or as a result of the CT shall not result in immediate stoppage of acceptance unless four or more minor defects are documented on one CT vehicle. Such defects on all vehicles shall be corrected by the Contractor at no cost to the Government. Another vehicle with corrective actions implemented shall be subjected to the CT to verify effectiveness of corrective actions.
3.4.4. Location
FMTV-PS-NR-2115 CT shall be performed at the place of manufacture.
FMTV-PS-NR-2116 3.5. Follow-on Production Test (FPT)
To determine conformance to Section 3, the Government may select samples as specified in the contract for FPT. Vehicle(s) shall be subjected to all FPT specified in the Performance Specification and tested for 12,000 miles IAW the course mileage ratios (Annex V). Tests shall be conducted to reveal defects of workmanship or material that may reduce the effective operation of these items in the field, and compare existing quality with previous standards. All tests specified shall be conducted at Government laboratories or test sites designated by the Government. FPT vehicles selected shall not include any vehicles previously control tested. The Government may elect to conduct FPT of less than 12,000 miles.
The Government has the option of performing or not performing any individual test.
3.5.1. Test Deficiencies
FPT vehicle deficiencies during, or as a result of the FPT, may be cause for rejection of subsequent produced vehicles, until the Contractor has provided evidence that corrective action has been taken to eliminate the deficiency. Any deficiency found during, or as a result of the FPT, shall be prima facie evidence that all vehicles currently or subsequently produced are similarly deficient, unless evidence satisfactory to the Contracting Officer is furnished by the Contractor that they are not similarly deficient. The Contractor shall correct such deficiencies on all vehicles at no cost to the Government.
3.5.2. Location
FMTV-PS-NR-2117 FPT shall be performed at a Government Proving Ground.
