Vehicle recall defect – On Certain Fire Trucks With Tandem Steer Axles. The TRW Tie-Rod On The Rear-Most Axle Of A Tandem Axle Is Restrained From Rotational Movement By A Pair Of Anti-Rotation Seals Located At The Ball Socket Joints. These Anti-Rotation Seals Will Compress Over Time. If The Anti-Rotation Seal Allows Too Much Motion, The Seals Can Deteriorate, Allowing Contact Between The Ball Socket And The Ball Shaft. This Metal-To-Metal Contact Will Transmit Forces Into The Tie-Rod Tube, Causing Fatigue Failure Initiating At The Root Of The Female Treads.

Vehicle recall defect – On Certain Fire Trucks Equipped With An Independent Front Suspension, A Pitman Arm Might Fracture Under Severe Load Caused By Three Loading Conditions.

These Are All Low Or No -Speed Events.
