NHTSA recall campaign
18V367000
What was wrong
Defect
MORryde International, Inc. (MORryde) is recalling certain 2018 Ford E-450 chassis modified for transit bus use. The U-bolts on the rear axle that hold the leaf spring and rear axle together may have been insufficiently tightened.
Risk
The loose U-bolts may further loosen or break allowing the axle to separate and cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
MORryde will notify the chassis purchasers, and dealers for those companies will inspect the tightness of the U-bolts, replacing or tightening the U-bolts as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2018. Owners may contact MORryde customer service at 1-574-293-1581.
