Suspension

What is wrong: On certain heavy duty class 8 vehicles fitted with neway ad series suspensions, the suspension has transverse beam castings that may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
Risk: This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. The recall began on april 1, 2005. Owners may contact autocar at 765‑489‑5499.
