The issue

Certain heavy duty trucks equipped with TRW tie rod ends on certain meritor axles. The tie rod and drag link ball stud ends contain bearings that are below the specified case depth and/or hardness. This can lead to premature wear with possible separation of the ball stud from the socket, increasing the risk of loss of control of the vehicle. Correcton: Dealers will remove and replace all affected tie rods and drag links with different designed ends.

Description (français)

Vise certains camions lourds équipés d'essieux Meritor dotés d'embouts de barres d'accouplement TRW. Les embouts de barres d'accouplement et des biellettes de direction sont dotés d'un roulement dont le logement n'a pas la bonne profondeur ou n'a pas la dureté prévue, ce qui pourrait entraîner l'usure prématurée de la rotule et une séparation éventuelle de la rotule de son logement. Si c'est le cas, le conducteur risque de perdre la maîtrise de la direction et d'avoir un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront déposer et remplacer toutes les barres d'accouplement et biellettes de direction défectueuses.
