Defect
During the manufacturing process for the front axle, hairline cracks developed internally in the steel material of certain units, resulting in insufficient strength. Continued use may cause cracks to form on the lower end of the axle and, in the worst case, cause the front axle to fracture, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the lot number of the front axle. If the lot number is 12-2, 12-3, or 12-4, replace the front axle with a conforming unit.
