SUSPENSION
Defect Description
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.
Consequence
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.
95E002002 Jun 8, 1995
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DRUM
Defect Description
THE MACHINING PERFORMED ON THE BRAKE DRUMS WILL NOT PERMIT THE DRUM TO SEAT FULLY AGAINST THE HUB FACE. THE REDUCED BRAKE DRUM AND HUB CONTACT AREA WILL ABRADE AND FRET ALLOWING THE WHEEL MOUNTING JOINT TO LOOSEN.
Consequence
THE WHEEL MOUNTING STUDS CAN BREAK RESULTING INSEPARATION OF THE WHEEL FROM THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE STEERING AND BRAKING WILL BE REDUCED AND THE SEPARATED WHEEL WOULD CAUSE A HAZARD TO OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY. EITHER EVENT CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INCORRECTLY MACHINED DRUMS WITH NEW BRAKE DRUMS SUPPLIED BY ROCKWELL AND ALSO REPLACE THE WHEEL MOUNTING STUDS.
