What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: school buses and heavy duty trucks equipped with rear axle assemblies produced by dana spicer. Certain rear axle assemblies were improperly heat treated which could allow pinion breakage at the pinion threads.

Dealers will replace the rear axle carrier/pinion assembly.
