Summary
On certain heavy-duty class 8 vehicles, the tabs on some of the lift axle spindle nuts may have been broken during assembly. When in place, the tabs on the nuts prevent the nuts from loosening.
Consequence
When the tabs are broken, the possibility exists that the nut might spin off. If this happens, the wheel and wheel end assembly could fall off, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the lift axle spindle nut. The recall began on June 5, 2006. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.
Notes
Autocar recall no.a-0603. Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Autocar been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Autocar dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
