435 of 17,656 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
On certain vehicles, the front spring strut plate could develop cracks. Over time, the crack may propagate. In extreme cases, the strut plate could break and contact the tire. This could lead to a sudden loss of tire pressure or tire failure.
No risk description available.
Dealer will install a retaining clip to the underside of the front spring strut plates.
On certain vehicles, the ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement) pump banjo bolt looses torque and allows fluid to leak past the joint. When the fluid supply is exhausted, a diagnostic warning light will be illuminated and the ACE system will go into a fail-safe mode. The leak of fluid from the pump joint can ignite resulting in an underhood fire.
No risk description available.
Dealer will inspect for leakage of fluid or wetness around the joint area. If no leakage or wetness is evident, banjo bolt will be re-torqued. If a leakage of fluid or wetness is evident, the banjo bolt and Dowty washer will be replaced.
On certain vehicles, the front lower control arms may not have been manufactured within the agreed specifications and as a result the stud and nut that secure the control arm to the spindle may lose its initial axial tension. In the worst case, this condition could eventually lead to separation between the front control arm and the spindle possibly causing a loss of control and a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealer will install a new type of nut with increased assembly torque.
On certain motorcycles, the pinch bolts that clamp the front forks to the axle may be 1/4" or 5/16" stainless steel bolts. In both cases, these bolts may not be of sufficient strength to clamp the front fork to the axle tightly enough to prevent axle rotation. If the axle is allowed to rotate, the axle could come out of the right front fork, collapsing the front end, increasing the risk of a crash.
No risk description available.
Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
On certain motorcycles equipped with rear shock absorbers made by Sway-A-Way, the bolts that mount the rear shock absorbers to the swing arm could break. This could result in the collapse of the rear suspension, increasing the risk of a crash.
No risk description available.
Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
On certain motorcycles, the rear axle is made of a material with a lower than desirable yield strength. Under repeated heavy loads, the rear axle could deform causing excessive wear in the rear wheel bearings potentially leading to overheating and seizing of the bearings, increasing the risk of a crash.
No risk description available.
Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
On certain vehicles, the front lower control arm ball joints may be susceptible to a loss of lubrication which can lead to corrosion, accelerated wear and possible separation from the steering knuckle. A ball joint which has separated from the knuckle, may result in a loss of vehicle directional control with minimal advanced warning.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace both front lower ball joints and install ball joint boot heat shields on all 2002 and early 2003 model year vehicles. On later 2003 model year vehicles, the dealer will first inspect to determine if ball joint replacement is required. Any ball joints that do not pass the inspection will be replaced. All vehicles must have the ball joint boot heat shields installed.
On certain vehicles, the left front transverse link components were produced with poor electro-deposition coating quality which, after continued exposure to corrosive road salts for a period of several years, may result in rust-out of the component and possible breakage of the transverse link. If such a breakage occurs while the vehicle is being operated, control of the vehicle could be affected.
No risk description available.
Dealer will rust-proof the left side transverse link with anti-rust wax.
On certain vehicles, a manufacturing defect will result in premature spalling of the wheel bearings, which in turn will lead to eventual breakdown of the bearing.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace both steer axle hubs.
On certain vehicles, road de-icing salt used during winter months may result in corrosion of the lower plate or the front lower control arm. Corrosion may proceed to the point where the lower plate becomes perforated and the front lower control arm fractures between its forward and rearward pivot attachments to the chassis. If the front lower control arm fractures, the wheel assembly may be allowed to move rearward in the wheel well opening during braking. Reduced control of the front wheel location may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace the front lower control arm.
On certain vehicles, the upper forward and/or rear drive axle seat may break potentially allowing the affected axle to shift out of alignment. This condition could result in loss of axle stability and potential for vehicle crash.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace suspect upper axle seats.
On certain vehicles operated in the "salt-belt" provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador. The rear suspension subframe components were produced with poor paint quality which, after continued exposure to corrosive road salts for a period of several years, may result in rust-out of the component and possible breakage of the subframe.
No risk description available.
Dealer will clean and rust-proof with anti-rust oil and anti-rust wax.
On certain vehicles, the head of the screw securing the rear struts to the chassis may tear off. The remaining portion of the screw (stud, or shaft) will still hold the strut in place. However, if left unattended over a longer period of time, and depending on driving conditions, the stud/shaft may break. If this occurred, the chassis would lean directly on the tire, diminishing the driver's ability to control the vehicle. Depending on traffic conditions and the driver's reactions, this could lead to a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace the lower screw connection of the rear struts.
On certain vehicles, when changing back and forth between alloy and steel wheels (as for winter tires), rust and other contaminates may build up on the mating surface of the wheel hubs. If this surface is not cleaned between wheel changes, uneven torque forces may cause wheel bolts to fracture. Although this is most likely to happen during wheel change service, it is possible that the bolts may break later while the vehicle is being driven.
No risk description available.
Dealer will clean the hub and reinstall the wheel with improved bolts and attached washers that will eliminate the clamping force reduction.
On certain vehicles, insufficient clamp load at the attachment of the lower control arm ball joint to the steering knuckle may result in separation of the joint or fracture of the ball joint stud. If this should occur while the vehicle is in motion, loss of vehicle control may result.
No risk description available.
Dealers will verify the torque of the steering knuckle pinch bolt and tighten as necessary.
On certain 2500 and 3500 series vehicles, a wheel bearing assembly retaining nut was omitted during assembly, which could lead to a possible bearing separation. If this were to occur, the ABS warning lamp would illuminate and the ABS system would be disabled. The driver would also notice a grinding noise, a decrease in vehicle speed and a steering pull in the direction of the affected assembly. Failure to heed these warnings can result in loss of vehicle control and a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and replace the wheel bearing assembly if a missing nut is noted during inspection.
Certain vehicles affected may contain tie rod assemblies, model 20-EDL, manufactured by TRW. These tie rods may display premature wear that could eventually lead to the ball stud seperating from the socket assembly causing a possible loss of steering control.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace the tie rod assemblies.
Certain medium duty trucks equipped with 11,000 lb. Rear axle have a condition where the rear axle anchor plate may fracture. Under certain rebound, braking, or cornering maneuvers, the rear axle would be free to move fore and aft and provide unexpected steering inputs to the vehicle. If this happens while the vehicle is moving, a crash could result.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a new rear axle anchor plate and spacer.
On certain vehicles the pin at the inboard end of the front lower control arm may break. This may result in difficulty in directional control and tire contact with the inner fender.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the front control arms.
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks the forward and/or rear drive axle upper axle seat can break allowing the axle to shift out of alignment. This could result in a loss of axle stability increasing the risk of a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the upper axle seats.
