What was wrong

Defect

Dana Incorporated (Dana) is recalling certain Heavy Vehicle Output shafts, part number 131536, used in drive axles manufactured for commercial vehicles. The output shafts may not have been properly heat treated, which can cause the shaft to fracture at the transition of the shaft splines to the thread, allowing the shaft or the interaxle driveline to detach from the vehicle.

Risk

If the rear axle shaft or interaxle driveline detaches from the vehicle, this may increase the risk of injury or crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Dana has notified the purchasers and dealers will inspect and replace any output shafts that have not been properly heat treated, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 29, 2020. Owners may contact Dana customer service at 1-419-887-3000.
