DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
Posted on: 1991-04-22
Description
Rear axle bearings may fail due to a bending moment created by the aftermarket dual rear wheels from a variety of factors and especially when overloaded. Failure of the bearings create stresses on the rear axle, resulting in the breakage of the axle.
Consequence
A broken axle will cause separation of the dual rearwheel assembly from the motorhome, causing loss of control which could result an accident.
Corrective Action
Replace rear axle assemblies with full-floating rear axle assemblies. Also, literature will be circulated cautioning vehicle owners not to overload the micro-mini motorhomes.
Notes
System: rear axle; single axle with dual rear wheels.vehicle description: micro-mini motorhomes built on toyota camper cab-chassisequipped with aftermarket dual rear wheels on rear axle designed for singlewheels.
