Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 argosy, cascadia, and cornoado heavy trucks manufactured from january 4, 2010, through november 30, 2010, equipped with 40k airliner suspensions. The rear suspension may fracture through the center bolt hole after vehicle assembly.

The risk

If undetected, over time the rear end of the spring may separate from the vehicle causing a hazardous road debris situation, increasing the risk of a crash.

Daimler trucks will notify owners and dealers will replace the mono leaf springs free of charge. Daimler trucks will send an interim letter to owners informing them of the recall. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about august 5, 2011. Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
