Suspension

Summary: The equalizing beam shaft of the tandem axle suspension were manufactured from as-rolled SAE4140 steel rather than the specified annealed SAE4140. These shafts can fracture inside the beam at the toe of the weld.
Consequence: Vehicles are subject to vehicle tilt and possible rollover in the event that both equalizing beams, on the same side of the vehicle, experience a simultaneous shaft failure. Affected suspensions can also drop and contact the road surface generating sparks which could ignite flammable material.
Remedy: Owner notification is being conducted by neway anchorlok. Dealers will inspect and replace all suspension suspension beams with suspension beams containing appropriate shafts.
