Autocar – FRONT EXTENSION BRACKETS/LOADER HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

AUTOCAR IS RECALLING 770 MY 2007-2009 WXLL HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH RESIDENTIAL FRONT-LOADER APPLICATIONS. THESE VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS MAINLY IN THE TOP FLANGE OF THE RH EXTENSION OF THE FRAME RAIL AT THE FRONT SPLAY BREAK WHERE THE RE-ENFORCING STRAPS ARE WELDED. DURING FRONT-LOADER OPERATION, RESIDUAL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CAUSES THE FRONT LOADER SYSTEM TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BUMPER-MOUNTED BRACKETS, CAUSING VISIBLE DEFLECTION OF THE CHASSIS FROM THE SUSPENSION FRONT HANGER BRACKET FORWARD.

What the owner should do?

If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.

If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
