The official notice
Defect
On certain LNT9000, LT9000, LTL9000 and LTS9000 vehicles equipped with an optional hendrickson RT440 tandem suspension. Vehicles may have been built with standard rather than the optional equilizing beam-to-rear axle adaptor kits. This incorrect use could result in deterioration of the adaptor-to=beam end bushing joint and possible fracture of the beam-to-axle attaching bolt. This condition could allow the rear axle assembly to shift thus affecting vehicle control.
