Recall Summary:On the involved vehicles, the rear axles may fracture and ultimately allow for a separation of the rear outer ends in the spindle attachment to axle housing area. Such a fracture may also cause the spindle and its components, including the wheels, brakes, drums, etc. To become disengaged from the axle.
How to Fix:The dealer will replace the housing, if necessary, at no cost to owner.
Recall Notes:Vehicle description: trucks. System: suspension; rear axle. Consequences of defect: separation of the above components from the axle whilevehicle is in operation could result in loss of vehicle control and anaccident. Note: the wheel seal should be checked for oil leaks since oil leaking usuallyprecedes spindle separation failure. If oil leakage is detected, the vehicleshould be removed from service immediately. However, failures may occur thatare not preceded by a detectable leak.
