Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Suspension:rear
Problem: Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with kenworth airglide 200 rear suspension. Due to materials used in the sway bar arms and studs as well as the stud plating material, stress corrosion cracking and bending fatigue can occur in the rear suspension sway bar arms and studs causing the stud to fail prematurely.
Risk: This could cause a loss of steering control increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the arm assembly manufactured from a different material. New studs will be installed with different threads and different finish.
Exterior lighting:turn signal:switch
Problem: The wires that correspond to the vehicle's rear turn signals were reversed when installed in the electrical connector.
Risk: This condition will cause the rear turn signals to flash opposite from the direction intended by the driver increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the turn signal switch and, if necessary, replace the turn signal switch.
