What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN CONCRETE MIXERS EQUIPPED WITH HENDRICKSON BRIDGE AXLES, CRACKS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN THE AXLE SEAT AND KINGPIN HUB PORTIONS.

The risk

IF THE CRACKS SHOULD PROPAGATE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN ROAD USE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT DEBRIS FROM THE AXLE OR ADJACENT VEHICLES PARTS COULD BE DEPOSITED IN THE ROADWAY, INCREASING THE RISK OF DAMAGE TO A FOLLOWING VEHICLE OR A CRASH.

The remedy

OSHKOSH IS WORKING WITH HENDRICKSON TO REPLACE THE BRIDGE AXLES ON THESE VEHICLES (PLEASE SEE 07E040). THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 2, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HENDRICKSON AT 1-800-660-2843.

Notes

CUSTOMERS MAY CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
