Defect Description
HME, Inc. (HME) is recalling certain 2015 Silverfox SFO fire emergency trucks equipped with certain Spicer D or E series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.
Consequence / Hazard
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.
Proposed Solution
HME will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the castellated nut and tie rod, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 24, 2017. Owners may contact HME customer service at 1-616-534-1463.
