Scania Truck R Series: Axle May Become Insecure

Scania is recalling 21 trucks from their R, P, and G series models sold in the United Kingdom because U bolt nuts on the axles may not have been tightened properly during manufacturing. The loose nuts could cause the axles to become insecure. Scania will inspect the U bolt nuts, tighten them if needed, and replace the U bolts if any nuts are found to be loose.
