DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION
Posted on: 2007-06-21
Description
Certain truck bridge axles manufactured by hendrickson between september 7, 2006, and april 25, 2007, installed as original equipment as subassembly components of auxiliary tag axle suspension systems for mcneilus (oshkosh) 2006 and 2007 bridgemaster v model concrete mixer trucks with serial numbers huax97188 through huax108905. Due to inadequate tempering in the manufacturing process, the component end castings can crack.
Consequence
If the cracks should propagate while the vehicle is in road use, it is possible that debris from the bridge axle or adjacent vehicle parts could be deposited in the roadway, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Corrective Action
Oshkosh will notify their owners and hendrickson will replace the axles with priority given to the owners who report visible cracks free of charge.
