SuspensionReported August 1, 1996 · 21 vehicles affected
What is wrong
The equalizing beam shaft of the tandem axle suspension were manufactured from as-rolled sae4140 steel rather than the specified annealed sae4140. These shafts can fracture inside the beam at the toe of the weld.
Risk
Vehicles are subject to vehicle tilt and possible rollover in the event that both equalizing beams, on the same side of the vehicle, experience a simultaneous shaft failure. Affected suspensions can also drop and contact the road surface generating sparks which could ignite flammable material.
Remedy
Owner notification is being conducted by neway anchorlok. Dealers will inspect and replace all suspension suspension beams with suspension beams containing appropriate shafts.
