ON CERTAIN FIRE TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH AN INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION, A PITMAN ARM MIGHT FRACTURE UNDER SEVERE LOAD CAUSED BY THREE LOADING CONDITIONS. IN ALL CASES, THE FRONT AXLE MUST BE TURNED FULL LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE (1) SIMULTANEOUSLY BACKING UP AND BRAKING HARD, (2) DRIVING ONE WHEEL OVER OR AGAINST A CURB OR (3) STEERING THE FRONT AXLE FULL LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WITH THE SERVICE BRAKE APPLIED. THESE ARE ALL LOW OR NO -SPEED EVENTS.
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.
