2001 Workhorse P320032 & 2001 Workhorse P320042 + 2 more recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: motor home and commercial chassis. The rear axle u-bolts may not be tightened correctly due to random failure of production tooling in the specified time span.
💥 The risk
Low u-bolt torque CAN result in u-bolts coming loose and not properly retaining the rear axle to the vehicle, resulting in a loss of vehicle control.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will tighten the rear axle u-bolts. Owner notification is expected to begin october 10, 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 workhorse at 1-877-946-7731.
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.)
