What is wrong
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.
What can happen
SHOULD THE SPRING HANGER FASTENERS FAIL, THE AXLE MAY DISCONNECT FROM THE FRAME, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND, POTENTIALLY, A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
