Certain heavy duty vehicles equipped with a 20,000 pound rated Dana I-200 front steer axles. There are visible cracks in the seal diameter and large bearing diameter on the front axle knuckles, which can reduce the life expectancy of the knuckles. If one of the suspect steering knuckles fails, the wheel at that wheel end would completely separate from the vehicle without warning and the driver would experience a sudden loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. rnCorrection: Dealers will replace the two front steering knuckles.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2001153.
