- The problem
- On some heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies which may have been manufactured with trw model 20edl ball sockets, the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket in some applications.
- The risk
- If this condition occurs, the driver can lose steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the ball socket assemblies. This campaign supersedes nhtsa campaign nos. 01V-139.001 And 02v-037.002. Owner notification began july 25, 2002.
