- Summary
- Vehicle description: airport support, snow removal, concrete carrier, and military vehicles equipped with drag link assemblies containing 24-DL model ball sockets and manufactured by TRW. Certain of the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below-specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket.
- Consequence
- If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the defective drag links. Owner notification is expected to begin during July/August 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact oshkosh at 1-920-235-9151 TRW customer service at 1-866-280-3287.
