Defect: ON CERTAIN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, THE REAR SPRING HANGER BRACKETS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH HAULMARK'S SPECIFICATIONS DURING THE MODIFICATION PROCESS. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE SPRING HANGER FASTENERS TO LOSE TORQUE AND FAIL.
Consequence: SHOULD THE SPRING HANGER FASTENERS FAIL, THE AXLE MAY DISCONNECT FROM THE FRAME, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND, POTENTIALLY, A CRASH.
Remedy: AN AUTHORIZED FREIGHTLINER DEALER WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE SPRING HANGER FASTENERS. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING OCTOBER 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HAULMARK AT 866-760-8195 TO LOCATE THE CLOSEST FREIGHTLINER DEALER TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLE INSPECTED.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
