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.
