What was wrong

Defect

Hendrickson USA. L.L.C. (Hendrickson) is recalling certain Bridge Axles, part number B5R13X-04B, manufactured December 7, 2015, to January 11, 2016. The affected bridge axles have tube sleeves that may crack along the seam welds.

Risk

If one tube sleeve cracks, vehicle handling may be affected. If both tube sleeves crack, the bridge axle may detach from the vehicle. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

The recall began on May 16, 2016. Owners may contact Hendrickson customer service at 1-630-773-9111. Hendrickson's number for this recall is TB-H801.
