Defect description

Crane Carrier Company (Crane Carrier) is recalling certain 2015-2016 LET2 vehicles, equipped with certain Dana Spicer D-Series and E-Series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.

Owners may contact Crane Carrier customer service at 1-918-286-2300. Crane Carrier's number for this recall is 17E041.
