Recall Summary:
On certain heavy duty class 8 vehicles fitted with neway ad series suspensions, the suspension has transverse beam castings that may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
How to Fix:
Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. The recall began on April 1, 2005. Owners may contact autocar at 765-489-5499.
