What is wrong
CERTAIN HOLLAND AD SERIES SUSPENSIONS AND TRANSVERSE BEAM/SUB-ASSEMBLIES WITH TRANSVERSE BEAM CASTINGS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JANUARY 1 AND DECEMBER 31, 2004, FOR USE IN HEAVY TRUCKS AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES. THE CASTINGS WERE NOT MADE TO SPECIFICATIONS AND MAY FRACTURE UNDER NORMAL LOADS.
What can happen
IF A CASTING BREAKS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING ON A ROADWAY, THE BROKEN PIECES CAN BECOME PROJECTILES AND CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH OR CAUSE INJURIES. ALSO, THE TRANSVERSE BEAM MAY DROP DOWN LOW ENOUGH TO CONTACT THE ROAD SURFACE CAUSING SPARKS THAT COULD POSSIBLY IGNITE A FIRE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TRANSVERSE BEAM ASSEMBLIES.

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.
