Suspension

Summary: Certain trucks equipped with holland/neway air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
Consequence: This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. The recall began on July 8, 2005. Owners may contact international trucks at 1-800-448-7825.
