Recall 1129370 — Other (frame/body)

Overview

Defect

On three-section aluminum and high-floor steel rear underrun protection devices (for vehicles with a GVW of 15.5 tons or more, equipped with a tail-gate lifter), the square tubing used in the underrun protection device was selected with insufficient wall thickness. When 2.3 mm wall-thickness tubing is used, the insufficient strength causes the tubing to buckle or deform under out-of-plane loads, resulting in displacement that exceeds the specified value and fails to meet the Safety Standards for Road Vehicles.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the square tubing of the rear underrun protection device. Where the wall thickness is 2.3 mm, apply the following corrections: (1) For aluminum rear underrun protection devices, attach reinforcement to the square tube sections. (2) For high-floor steel rear underrun protection devices, attach reinforcement at the joint between the square tubing and the underrun protection device.
