2005–2007 Hawkeye Dump Truck & 2005–2007 Hawkeye Tractor recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Hawkeye Truck equipment (hte) is recalling certain Dump trucks and tractors fitted with an auxiliary lift axle, models SL-1190 or SL-890, manufactured by watson and chalin. The lower cast arms could fracture which could affect the suspensions ability to lift the axle when it's not needed.
💥 The risk
A vehicle crash could occur.
🔧 The fix
Hte will provide owners with repair kits along with repair instructions or will replace the lower arms for the customer free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners CAN contact hte at 1-800-622-8223.
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.)
