The issue
ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ROCKWELL TANDEM DRIVE AXLES AND OUTBOARD MOUNTED BRAKE DRUMS, THE NUTS THAT RETAIN THE WHEEL HUBS ON THE DRIVE AXLES MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY TORQUED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN LEFT REAR WHEEL SEPARATION AND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: THE LEFT SIDE DRIVE AXLE SPINDLE JAM NUTS ON BOTH FORWARD AND REAR DRIVE AXLES ARE TO BE TORQUED TO PROPER SPECIFICATION. IF THE WHEEL HUB NUTS ARE FOUND TO BE LOOSE THEY ARE TO BE REPLACED.
Description (français)
Sur les véhicules dotés d'essieux moteurs tandem et de tambours de frein extérieurs, les écrous retenant les moyeux des roues sur les essieux peuvent ne pas avoir été serrés au couple nécessaire, du côté gauche, au moment de l'assemblage. La roue arrière, du côté gauche, risque par conséquent de se détacher, ce qui pourrait causer un accident.
