- Campaign:
- 96V233003 on 12/18/1996
- Component:
- Suspension:rear
- Manufactured:
- 12/31/1995 - 10/22/1996
- Affected:
- 1,410
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: all vehicles equipped with eaton drive axles and axilok spindle nuts. the drive axle housings consist of a plate steel center section and two forged spindles, one of which is welded to each end of the center section. each spindle contains a keyway slot in which the locking tab for the wheel bearing nut locking mechanism is inserted. the length of the keyway slot may not be long enough to accommodate the tab causing the tab to be deformed or damaged during installation.
- Consequence:
- This locking tab prevents the wheel bearing nut from loosening during vehicle operation. if this tab is deformed, the nut can loosen allowing the wheel to separate from the axle increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the drive axle housing nuts with a conventional wheel nut hardware system.
- Notes:
- Owner notification:owner notification began december 18, 1996. note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact freightliner at 1-503-735-8000.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
