Suspension

What is wrong
Vehicle description: heavy duty 6x4 trucks equipped with chalmers 800 series suspension kits. These suspension kits may have insufficient penetration of the weld attaching the torque rod eye to the torque rod tube.
Risk
Failure of the weld could result in separation of the eye and tube, causing a lock of axle retention, which could result in loss of vehicle control.
Remedy
Dealers will replace all chalmers fixed torque rods on these vehicles. All vehicles have been completed. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.
