STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY

Issued by OSHKOSH TRUCK CORPORATION · Reported Jul 11, 2001 · 321 vehicles affected

What's wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: AIRPORT SUPPORT, SNOW REMOVAL, CONCRETE CARRIER, AND MILITARY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DRAG LINK ASSEMBLIES CONTAINING 24-DL MODEL BALL SOCKETS AND MANUFACTURED BY TRW. CERTAIN OF THE TIE ROD BALL-SOCKET BEARINGS HAVE A BELOW-SPECIFICATION CASE DEPTH AND/OR HARDNESS, WHICH CAN LEAD TO PREMATURE WEAR OF THE SOCKET.

Consequence

IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE DRIVER CAN LOSE PARTIAL CONTROL OF THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE DRAG LINKS. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY/AUGUST 2001. 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 OSHKOSH AT 1-920-235-9151 TRW CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-866-280-3287.
