Steering:linkages:tie Rod Assembly

Reported Jul 28, 2017 · Dana Driveshaft Manufacturing, LLC

Summary

Dana, Inc., (Dana) is recalling certain Spicer D-Series and E-Series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.

Consequence

If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dana will notify the manufacturers of the commercial vehicles that purchased the axles. Those manufacturers will conduct recalls and their dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, tightening it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2017. Owners may contact Dana customer service at 1-877-777-5360.
