There is a possibility that the shim that is installed between the front axle and the right leaf spring to adjust the height of the cab is too thick and that as a result the centre pin is not properly fitted. If this problem is left unattended, the front axle may be dislodged by a shock from a road surface. If such dislodgement occurs, the castor angle would be off, and in the worst case, the vehicle's stability would be adversely affected. Note: The same problem was reported as RJ-1874-0 on 25th Spring 2007, but the instructions to rectify the problem were not properly followed and the same problem occurred. Therefore, this RJ-1954-0 is submitted to enforce the instructions and also to list additional vehicles to be recalled.
