What NHTSA recorded

On certain heavy duty class 8 fire trucks equipped with arvinmeritor urresko tie rod clamps, heat treatment of clamps created a surface hardness that could lead to a fracture of the clamps.

Possible consequence

In the event of a crack, the clamps could break off affecting toe-in and alignment. The tie rod can come loose resulting in steering loss and a crash could occur without prior warning.

Remedy

Arvinmeritor is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-866-668-7221 or hme incorporated at 616-534-1463.
