1995–1996 Western Star Conventional Recall

Issued August 23, 1996
Issue
Hazard description
On certain trucks, the suspension equalizing beam shaft could fracture inside the beam at the toe of the weld due to the use of a non-conforming shaft. A single shaft failure could cause the transverse beam to come into contact with the roadway, generating sparks that, in combination with other events, would affect motor vehicle safety. Correction: All equalizing beams with non-conforming shafts will be replaced with beams containing appropriate shafts.
