What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Kimble Mixer has recalled one model year 2014 Mixer Custom Chassis equipped with a Marmon-Herrington drive axle. The hex nuts were improperly torqued where the flange mounts to the yoke.

The risk

The loose hex nuts may allow the driveshaft to disconnect from the drive axle, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

The affected vehicle for this recall has been repaired, therefore, a notification letter will not be issued. Owners may contact Kimble Mixer customer service at 1-918-286-2424. Kimble Mixer's number for this recall is 15E-065.

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.
