Dana D Series Steer Axle, Dana E Series Steer Axle, Dana Replacement Tie Rod: Steering recall
NHTSA campaign 24E048000 · 11K units potentially affected · filed Jun 10, 2024
What's wrong
Dana Incorporated (Dana) is recalling certain D-Series and E-Series Steer Axles, and replacement tie rod assemblies for Dana D-Series and E-Series Steer Axles. The tie rod assemblies in these steer axles contain ball studs that may have been incorrectly heat-treated, which can cause them to break, and possibly result in tie rod failure.
Why it matters
Tie rod failure can cause a loss of vehicle steering control and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dana will inspect and replace the ball studs as necessary, free of charge. Dana will notify original equipment manufacturers and distributors on June 24, 2024. Owners may contact Dana customer service at 1-419-887-3000.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
