Defect SummaryAutocar is recalling 770 my 2007-2009 wxll heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with residential front-loader applications. these vehicles may develop cracks mainly in the top flange of the rh extension of the frame rail at the front splay break where the re-enforcing straps are welded. during front-loader operation, residual hydraulic pressure causes the front loader system to push down on the bumper-mounted brackets, causing visible deflection of the chassis from the suspension front hanger bracket forward.
