What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Crane Carrier Company (Crane Carrier) is recalling certain 2015-2016 LET2 vehicles, equipped with certain Dana Spicer D-Series and E-Series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.

The risk

If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Crane Carrier will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, and tighten them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 27, 2017. Owners may contact Crane Carrier customer service at 1-918-286-2300. Crane Carrier's number for this recall is 17E041.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to 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.
