Recall number 04V100000 · Recall details
Service brakes, air: slack adjusters
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with air brake haldex automatic slack adjusters, long stroke brake chambers, and dana brakes. The automatic slack adjuster anchor brackets can fail due to fatigue fracture and completely separate, causing the slack adjusters to function as manual slack adjusters.
- Risk

- Remedy

Vehicle speed control
- What is wrong

Recall number 96V181002 · Recall details
Suspension: rear
- What is wrong
- The drive axle housings consist of a plate steel center section and two forged spindles, one of which is welded to each end of the center section. Each spindle contains a keyway slot in which the locking tab for the wheel bearing nut locking mechanism is inserted. The length of the keyway slot may not be long enough to accommodate the tab causing the tab to be deformed or damaged during installation.
- Risk
- This locking tab prevents the wheel bearing nut from loosening during vehicle operation. If this tab is deformed, the nut can loosen allowing the wheel to separate from the axle increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the drive axle housing nuts with a conventional wheel nut hardware system.
Recall number 96V233002 · Recall details
Suspension
- 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.
Recall number 96V124004 · Recall details
Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer

Recall number 95V182000 · Recall details
Power train: driveline
- What is wrong
- The driveline could have little torque or no torque on the driveline nut that retains the yoke at the center bearing or bearings if the vehicle is equipped with multiple center bearings.
- Risk
- The low torque condition can cause the driveline to separate resulting in personal injury or property damage from parts being thrown from the vehicle or scattered on the roadway.
- Remedy
- Dealers will disconnect the driveline at the rear of the center bearing(s), torque the yoke nut and reconnect the driveline.
Recall number 95V174000 · Recall details
Seats
- What is wrong
- The swivel seat assembly attachments between the upper and lower portions are inadequate to insure that the assembly will stay together during normal use. Vibration can cause the attaching bolts to work loose and fall out.
- Risk
- Should the bolts fall out, the seat swivel assembly would separate. If this should happen while the vehicle is in motion, it could cause the operator to lose control of the vehicle increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a new re-designed swivel mount/stop ring, a spacer and new longer mounting bolts.
Recall number 95V104000 · Recall details
