Vehicles: SCANIA TRUCK AIR SUSPENSION EQUIPPED VEHICLES. Units affected: 2,603
Reason
The rear axle U bolts on some vehicles MAY have been secured with galvanised nuts as opposed to phosphated nuts. This has resulted in incorrect tightening torque and in some cases fracture of the U bolts. Remedy: Recall the affected vehicles and check the type of nut securing the rear axle U bolts. Where phosphated nuts are fitted - check torque setting and increase if necessary.
