2004–2006 Autocar WX & 2004–2006 Autocar Wxll + 1 more recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
💥 The risk
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.
🔧 The fix
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.
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.)
