Suspension — Motor Coach · reported 8 Aug 1989 · 448 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
DUE TO HIGH LOADS ON THE UPPER REAR RADIUS ROD, WHICH IS USED TO LOCATE THE CRIVE AXLE AND LIMIT VEHICLE ROLL DURING TURNING MANUEVERS, THE UPPER REAR RADIUS ROD MAY FAIL.
The risk
THIS COULD RESULT IN INADEQUATE LOCATION OF THE AXLEWITH POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE BETWEEN MOVING PARTS, WHICH COULD CAUSE STABILITYPROBLEMS AND A POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
REPLACE SUSPECT RADIUS RODS WITH RODS OF A MORE HEAVY-DUTY DESIGN.
