Risk
A fractured drive pinion may contact the brake drop hose, and unintentionally engage the parking brake without detection or without the brake lights activating, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the differential carrier housing assembly, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 9, 2022. Owners may contact Custom Fire's customer service at 1-715-294-2555.
