Category: Heavy Vehicle · Supplier: Daimlerchrysler Australia/pacific Pty Ltd
Recall date: 28 September 2007
It is possible the Axilok rear wheel spindle nuts on rear drive axles of certain Sterling A/L-Line trucks built at the St. Thomas plant between 2 April 2007 and 20 June 2007 may have been improperly installed. In this case one or both locking clip tabs may not be engaged properly or are damaged. If so, this could reduce the nut's ability to resist rotation and potentially allow the nut to back off and cause the dual wheel set to separate from the vehicle without prior warning.
