- 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. Chalmers is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. 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 chalmers at 1‑905‑624‑9750.
