Bulletin Summary
Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from General Motors that a condition exists relating to motor vehicle safety, compliance, or emissions in a vehicle you possess that is equipped with Altec equipment. Navistar, the manufacturer of these vehicles, has determined that certain hex flange lock nuts used in several locations in the suspension joints in these vehicles were not properly formed and heat treated by its supplier. Improperly manufactured nuts can result in a loss of joint tension over time. A loss of tension in the suspension joints may increase the risk of a crash.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
