Suspension

Manufactured:

Affected:

Defect:

On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, the suspension had transverse beam castings that may fracture under normal loads. if a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.

Consequence:

This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
