Defect
On heavy-duty trucks, the rear-axle air suspension stabilizer arm has insufficient strength. Repeated turning maneuvers can cause the arm to crack. Continued operation allows the crack to progress until, in the worst case, the arm fractures and the vehicle becomes inoperable.

On all vehicles, replace the stabilizer with the corrected part.
