RJ-1359-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:56

On certain rear tandem axle vehicles, the rear-rear axle (dead axle) housing has a poorly welded section, and such a section may crack if the vehicle continues to be driven. At worst, the axle housing could break, which could cause the vehicle to stall or the brake drum to overheat leading to a fire.
