Recall 2012193

The issue

On certain trucks, the front axle knuckles may have been manufactured incorrectly, which could lead to shorter than expected bearing and knuckle life. In some instances, this could result in separation of the wheel from the axle. A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a loss of control and a crash. In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, stationary object or a bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front axle knuckles.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions, les fusées d'essieu avant pourraient avoir été mal fabriquées, ce qui pourrait diminuer la durée de vie des roulements et des fusées. Dans certains cas, cela pourrait causer le détachement de la roue de l'essieu, une perte de contrôle et un accident. De plus, la roue détachée pourrait percuter un véhicule, un objet stationnaire ou une personne se trouvant à proximité. Cela pourrait endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, si nécessaire, remplacer les fusées d'essieu avant.
