Certain heavy duty trucks equipped with Chalmers 1000 Series and 800 Series suspension kits. These suspension kits may have insufficient penetration of the weld attaching the torque rod eye to the torque rod tube. Failure of the weld could result in separation of the eye and tube, causing a lock of axle retention, which could result in loss of vehicle control. rnCorrection: Dealers will replace all Chalmers fixed torque rods on these vehicles.
