Reported risk: On certain trucks, the suspension equalizing beam shaft could fracture inside the beam at the toe of the weld due to the use of a non-conforming shaft. A single shaft failure could cause the transverse beam to come into contact with the roadway, generating sparks that, in combination with other events, would affect motor vehicle safety. Correction: All equalizing beams with non-conforming shafts will be replaced with beams containing appropriate shafts.
