Details
What's wrong: Some front wheel spindles were improperly manufactured creating the risk that a spindle may fracture during the normal useful life of the truck.
Why it matters: If a spindle fractures, the wheel may separate from the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the front spindle if necessary free of charge. The recall began on February 27, 2009.
