- Component:
- Suspension:front:wheel bearing

- Affected:
- 4,024
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: class 8 heavy duty truck chassis equipped with 16,000 lb., 18,000 lb., or 20,000 lb. heavy duty steering axles. the inner wheel bearing cone for the steering axle wheel hub assembly does not properly fit onto the navistar steering axle spindle assembly. improper fit of the bearing to the spindle increases the stress levels to the steering axle spindle which could cause spindle failure.
- Consequence:
- If the spindle fails, a loss of driver control could occur, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
