NHTSA campaign 07V543000
Reported Nov 27, 2007
Structure › Frame and Members › Underbody Shields
Model years 1998–2006
On certain pickup trucks equipped with reyco granning model 345P air ride suspensions, the bracket supporting the horizontal track rod at the frame attachment can become loose and eventually crack and break.
Consequence:
This condition could cause the track rod to be ineffective in maintaining lateral control between the axle and frame resulting in vehicle handling problems increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy:
Dealers will inspect the bracket and nut/bolt hardware. If the bolts are loose or the bracket has cracked, the bolts, nuts, and brackets will be replaced. If the bolts are installed correctly and are tight, they will be removed and replaced with new bolts and locktite. The recall began on February 22, 2008. Owners may contact fontaine at 1-704-409-1605. This recall has no relation to any original equipment installed on Ford F450 and F550 pickup trucks manufactured by Ford motor company.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.

What each recall field means

What each recall field means
Field	What it tells you
Campaign number	NHTSA's unique ID for the recall, such as 20V771000. Quote it to a dealer or when searching NHTSA's site.
Component	The system or part involved, for example air bags, brakes or electrical software.
Summary	What the defect or non-compliance is and which vehicles are covered.
Consequence	The safety risk if the problem isn't fixed.
Remedy	What the manufacturer will do, such as a repair, replacement or software update, and whether it is free.

Some recalls carry an NHTSA consumer advisory, “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside”. Follow it until the repair is done.
A single campaign often covers several models or model years, so the same campaign number can appear in more than one list.
Recalls are shown as NHTSA publishes them. Very recent campaigns may take time to appear.
