Recalls
2 recalls name the 1982 Western Rws Series. Newest first.
Spring seat can deform, which causes a decrease in the clamping force in the suspension assembly. Loss of clamping force may bring about axle misalignment or axle housing failure.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
The axle housing will be inspected and replaced, if necessary. The spring seats will also be replaced.
Front axle air brake lines are routed too close to the engine exhaust manifold. This can permit brake lines to melt and rupture, causing a reduction in air pressure to brake chambers upon brake application.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
Front axle air brake lines will be replaced, employing new routing and heat resistance improvements.
