Defect SummaryOn certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, the suspension has 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 SummaryThis could cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
Corrective SummaryDealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. the recall began on june 10, 2005, with letters being mailed to peterbilt owners; and on june 17, 2005, for kenworth owners. owners may contact peterbilt at 940-591-4201 or kenworth at 425-828-5440.
