What NHTSA recorded

On certain heavy-duty class 8 vehicles, the tabs on some of the lift axle spindle nuts may have been broken during assembly. When in place, the tabs on the nuts prevent the nuts from loosening.

Possible consequence

When the tabs are broken, the possibility exists that the nut might spin off. If this happens, the wheel and wheel end assembly could fall off, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the lift axle spindle nut. The recall began on june 5, 2006. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.
