Defect description

Seagrave Fire Apparatus, LLC (Seagrave) is recalling certain 2017 Aerialscope emergency vehicles, equipped with 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.

Safety risk

If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Seagrave will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, tightening it as necessary. If the tie rod stud and knuckle on units cannot be sufficiently torqued, the dealer will replace the knuckle and tie rod end assembly, free of charge. The recall began on September 22, 2017. Owners may Seagrave for more information at 1-715-823-2141 extension 1910.
