Problem: On certain trucks equipped with chalmers rear suspensions, the adjustable torque rod end castings may be brittle. A brittle rod end casting may fracture without warning, causing the vehicles' rear axles to become misaligned.
Risk: This misalignment can cause the vehicle to lose directional stability at speeds that may result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles to determine if they were manufactured with a suspect torque rod end. If a suspect torque rod end is found, the entire torque rod will be replaced. The recall began on october 9, 2006. Owners may contact peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196 or kenworth at 1-425-828-5440.
