What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

The risk

The fractured steering arm and tie rod can separate and fall to the ground, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dexter Axle dealers will install a new steering arm and additional welds, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 16, 2022. Owners may contact Dexter Axle's customer service at 1-574-295-7888. East Manufacturing's number for this recall is 22E-080.

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.nhtsa.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.
