⚠️ What's wrong

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.

💥 The risk

If this condition occurs, the driver CAN lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash.

🔧 The fix

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.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
