What NHTSA recorded

On certain heavy duty class 8 vehicles fitted with neway ad series suspensions, 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.

Possible consequence

This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. The recall began on april 1, 2005. Owners may contact autocar at 765-489-5499.
