Daf Trucks 85 Series: Second Axle Lower Spring Arm Concern
DAF Trucks is recalling 130 vehicles from their 85 and 95 series due to a suspension issue where nylon thrust washers may wear and allow excessive movement of the second axle lower spring arms. This excessive movement could loosen the bolts that attach the spring bracket and potentially affect steering control. DAF will install an extra support bracket and new thrust washers to fix the problem.
