What NHTSA recorded

On certain transit buses 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.

Arvinmeritor is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-866-668-7221 or novabus at 450-974-3134.
