STEERING:LINKAGES

Issued by Streetcar ORV LLC · Reported Oct 16, 2018 · 847 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Streetcar ORV LLC (Streetcar) is recalling certain American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) 3" Dualsport aftermarket suspension kits, part numbers N0436000 and N0436001, sold for installation on 2013-2018 RAM 2500 and 3500HD trucks. Improper installation and machining of the original equipment steering knuckle may weaken the joint between the steering drag link and knuckle.

Consequence

The weakened connection may result in a fractured steering drag link, causing a loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Streetcar will notify owners and dealers will inspect and install a new steering knuckle, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2018. Owners may contact AEV customer service at 1-248-926-0256, extension 500.
