Recall 1989032

The issue

DOWELS, WHICH LOCATE AND PREVENT MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE SPRING CAP AND THE AXLE HOUSING ON THE SS65 BOGIE, MAY HAVE BEEN OMITTED DURING INSTALLATION OF THE SPRING CAPS. OMISSION OF THE DOWELS WOULD PUT SHEAR PRESSURE ON THE FOUR(4) SPRING CAP BOLTS AND COULD CAUSE LOOSENING OR FAILURE OF THE BOLTS. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND DOWELS INSTALLED WHERE NECESSARY.

Description (français)

Les goujons de positionnement qui empêchent le mouvement entre le capuchon de ressort et le carter d'essieu sur les bogies S65 peuvent avoir été omis lors de l'assemblage. Cette omission peut mettre une charge de cisaillement excessive sur les quatre (4) boulons du capuchon de frein qui risquent de se desserrer ou briser. Cela peut entraîner une perte de maîtrise et un accident non prévisible.
